Contexto

In 2017, SIPPO changed its delivery approach, moving away from direct support to export-ready companies to an indirect approach through institutional strengthening and improving export promotion services of local BSOs. SIPPO 2021-2025 will enhance this approach, by increasing flexibility of SIPPO’s advisory services, promoting further decentralisation and digitalisation. This will enable the program to react better to changing priorities and sectoral trends in partner countries, as well as create more synergies with the Swiss development cooperation portfolio.

Objetivos

SIPPO 2021-2025 is a multi-country program supporting BSOs to facilitate access to the Swiss, European and regional markets for exporting companies from developing and transition countries. As an overarching vision for change, the program aims to promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth for SIPPO partner countries through better integration into world trade. The program is active in 11 partner countries and 6 core sectors, supporting around 50 BSOs by contributing to institutional strengthening through capacity development and improved services in the area of export promotion. In addition, the program supports Swiss cooperation projects to promote integration into global value chains, and provides selective support to ad hoc requests from non-priority countries.
