Launch of Swiss cooperation programme for Jordan, Syria and Lebanon for 2026-2029

Amman, Jordan ·

The Swiss embassy said in a statement that the programme, running from 2026 to 2029, aims to support regional stability, resilience and sustainable development, and to aid vulnerable population groups and strengthen national institutions in Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. It was launched at an event in Amman.

Switzerland runs development and humanitarian cooperation programmes in the Middle East, and Syria's neighbours host large numbers of refugees who fled the Syrian war that began in 2011.
