Humanitarian Aid
The Swiss Confederation’s Humanitarian Aid activities in Myanmar started in 1999. Since May 2008, SDC has been operating a programme office in Yangon with the objective to restore and improve the living conditions and reduce vulnerability of people at risk.
In response to the recent political, economic and social changes in Myanmar, the Swiss Federal Council decided to open an embassy in Myanmar in November 2012. The Humanitarian Aid programme has been strengthened with a development programme to support the transition to democracy, consolidate peace and reduce poverty. Funding will gradually increase to USD 30 million per year.
