Key facts
The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) has examined support for the development of vocational and professional education and training (VPET) within the framework of projects run by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). Acquiring vocational and professional skills helps young people enter the labour market and contributes to poverty reduction, which is a priority for the SDC. Its strategy and activities are based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the UN in 2015.
