Six organisations. One goal: a world without hunger.

The Alliance Sufosec brings together six Swiss development organisations: Fastenaktion, SWISSAID, Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Suisse, Vivamos, Aqua Alimenta and Skat Foundation. Together we champion the right to food, working with around 300 local partner organisations in 28 countries of the Global South, engaging in political work in Switzerland and keeping a clear focus on sustainable food systems.

Agroecology Starts with Women Farmers

Since 2021, six Swiss organisations fighting hunger have been measuring their impact together. In 16 projects with repeated measurements, food insecurity fell on average from 61% to 41%. Severe food insecurity has halved, from 22% to 11%.

Together for the right to food

Promoting agroecology

We strengthen rural agriculture that protects the environment and climate and preserves diversity.

Overcome hunger

Together with our partner organizations, we create pathways to food sovereignty and resilient communities.

Moving politics

We are committed to framework conditions that enable fair markets and global justice.

In its 2025–2028 programme, the Alliance Sufosec is working towards a shared goal: empowered communities realising their right to food and improving their livelihoods in times of climate crisis and fragility. To this end, we promote agroecology and local food systems, protect natural resources, strengthen civil society and work in more equitable partnerships with organisations in the Global South.

The joint programme is built on the projects of the six organisations and their approximately 300 partner organisations in the Global South.

Organizations
Sufosec is an alliance of six international cooperation NGOs. They combine complementary skills and approaches.

Sufosec (Sustainable Food Systems and Empowered Communities), the Swiss alliance for sustainable food worldwide, brings together six Swiss international cooperation organisations: Fastenaktion, SWISSAID, Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Suisse, Vivamos, Aqua Alimenta and Skat Foundation. Their shared goal is for empowered communities to realise their right to food and improve their livelihoods in times of climate crisis and fragility. The work is carried out by around 300 local partner organisations in 28 countries of the Global South. The six organisations have been working together since 2020 and, since 2021, have measured every year, using the same instruments, how the food situation of households is changing. The Alliance receives financial support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) as part of its core contributions.
