HEKS/EPER projects promote help for self-help, are geared to the needs and resources of those concerned, and are implemented in concert with them. In its projects around the world and in its work of raising awareness around development and social policy topics in Switzerland, HEKS/EPER places the emphasis on the four priorities of climate justice, the right to land and food, flight and migration, and integration.
