The Donor Tracker uses the latest official DAC OECD data for our analyses. The latest full set of data available is 2023.

Policy Context


The SDC highlights four areas of Swiss international gender policy, namely:

  • Gender and women’s rights in conflict situations and fragile contexts;
  • Strengthening women’s political participation;
  • Access to resources, education, and income; and
  • Instruments for gender mainstreaming.

The SDC is a key stakeholder in gender equality in development cooperation.


ODA Spending


How much ODA does Switzerland allocate to gender equality?



How is Switzerland's gender equality ODA changing?


Switzerland’s ODA for gender equality more than doubled between 2017-2021. The increase was largely driven by an increase in gender-significant funding for projects in which gender equality is an important and deliberate goal but not the main objective.
