The volume of commitments proposed by the Federal Council for the five framework credits over four years amounts to CHF 11,11 billion.
Five framework credits
In February 2011, Parliament decided to increase its official development assistance (ODA) to 0.5% of gross national income (GNI). This level was reached in 2015. Under the expenditure stabilisation programme decided by the Federal Council for the period from 2017 to 2019, Switzerland’s ODA will be slightly lower according to current estimates, at around 0.48% of GNI. This remains short of the 0.7% target set by the UN and recognised by Switzerland.
