Indonesia: Achievements
Switzerland began its Official Development Assistance (ODA) to Indonesia in the 1960s, formalized through a legal framework for technical collaboration established in 1971. From 1976 to 1996, Indonesia was a priority country for the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), which invested CHF 265.5 million in human resources development, urban planning, healthcare, and rural development. A key milestone during this period was the establishment of the Polytechnic Mechanic Swiss in 1977, one of Indonesia’s first state vocational polytechnics.
