The IC Forum 2025, the annual event of Swiss Cooperation, brings together key actors in international cooperation on February 27 and 28 in Zurich, focusing on economic development as the main theme of this edition.
In a global context where socio-economic challenges demand innovative and sustainable solutions, Ayuda en Acción joins this space for debate and action to share its commitment to inclusive development based on the three Es: Education, Employment, and Entrepreneurship.
Our vision: Growth with social impact
At Ayuda en Acción, we understand economic growth not just as a development indicator but as a tool to reduce poverty and inequality. Our participation in IC Forum 2025 is a key opportunity to showcase how our programs in different countries have successfully transformed communities through innovative and sustainable solutions.
Innovation is a fundamental pillar of our strategy. We see it as a continuous process that not only addresses new challenges but also accelerates the achievement of our institutional objectives. By incorporating new technologies and leveraging collective talent, we strive to create positive and lasting impacts in the communities where we work.
Boosting value chains and sustainable market systems
One of the main focuses of our work is Market System Development (MSD), a methodology that promotes systemic changes to ensure that economic opportunities are both accessible and sustainable over time. Through this model, we collaborate with local actors and strengthen their capacities to guarantee that market systems are inclusive, resilient, and scalable.
Through the development of value chains and the promotion of sustainable local markets, Ayuda en Acción has generated sources of income for thousands of people—mainly women, young people, and vulnerable communities—across different regions of the world. We believe that international cooperation must evolve towards development models that not only provide aid but also foster economic autonomy and community resilience.
A sustainable future, a shared commitment
Ayuda en Acción’s participation in IC Forum 2025 reaffirms our commitment to economic growth that prioritizes people and the planet. We invite all attendees to visit our information booth to learn more about our work, mission, and global impact.
Together, we can redefine development and make economic growth a genuine driver of social change.
