Switzerland has announced that it will end its development aid programs for Bangladesh, Albania, and Zambia due to budget reductions in its foreign aid plans. The Swiss parliament has cut 110 million Swiss Francs from the 2025 foreign aid budget and an additional 321 million from the 2026-2028 allocations. While these cuts will affect bilateral and multilateral cooperation, Switzerland will continue to provide funding for humanitarian efforts. This decision reflects the country's financial adjustments and shifting priorities in international assistance.
