  Took part as SDC-owner of the workshop in July 05 in Switzerland

My working situation:
Since some 25 years I am working in the area of development for various institutions in Latin-America, Africa, Asia and Europe and at SDC Headquarters. Since more than five years I am working for Skill Development within SDC’s thematic Division: Employment and Income.
 
My challenge for the workshop:
I am facing three main challenges. First of all, as SDC owner of the present SDRA debate and organiser of the workshop, I will link SDC’s conceptual stand on SDRA with the discussions. I will link the discussions to SDC’s mid term strategy 2003-2007 in the area of employment and income in general and skill development in particular. Secondly, as outgoing thematic responsible for SDRA, I will use the opportunity of the workshop to link my actual and future colleagues of the Employment and Income Division: namely Jean-Christophe Favre, Ruth Huber, Fabienne Lagier, Juliane Ineichen, Peter Tschumi and Lukas Ruettiman to some participants with whom we are working together. Thirdly, whenever my other duties allow I will participate actively in the one or other debate.

My contribution:
First of all, I will try to explain SDC’s actual thematic stand on SDRA and Skill Development as integral part of Employment and Income generation. Secondly out of my general overview on SDC’s activities in the area of skill development in rural areas, I will bring in the one or other complementary practical example not covered by other participants and try to sensitize on thematic linkages between different experiences.

My topical interests:
Beside of the fact that I am curious to follow discussions on all proposed topics, I am particularly interested in the issues of launching and steering of SDRA Programmes, respectively on capacity development.
