Topics
The Liechtenstein Development Service (LED) makes every effort to ensure that its actions are effective and efficient. In order to achieve this, it continuously develops its methodological and professional expertise further. One illustration of this ongoing expertise gain besides a more intensive dialogue with the project partners at a professional level is also the development of sector strategies.
These sector strategies serve several purposes:
- They provide guidance for the LED
- They inform the public about our core topics and approaches within the sectors
- They also ensure transparency for our partner organisations.
Rural development – food security
The topic of rural development with a focus on food security is an important LED sector area, particularly in the African key countries.
All of the projects in this area supported by the LED contribute to sustainable rural development and are based on approaches to improving the food security of the target population - with the long-term goal of healthy people who live in an intact environment.

Intercultural bilingual education (IBE)
The LED supports intercultural bilingual education projects in order to improve the basic conditions and opportunities of indigenous children and young adults, for example through the development of teaching material that has been adapted to their specific culture, teacher training or involvement of the parents in education projects. The strategy mainly applies to projects in Latin America.
