CHF 40.38 million were spent globally serving the most vulnerable populations through emergency relief/humanitarian aid and long-term development projects. The International Cooperation support expenses remained at 10%. With trends of declining revenue streams for our international work, we will continue our efforts of identifying resources serving the most vulnerable worldwide.
