The guidelines describe the overall strategic framework for Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) and provide guidance on the preparation and implementation of SSC projects funded with development assistance as well as specific administrative procedures. The guidelines are a living document and may be revised as needs arise. The below guidelines only apply to stakeholders who have yet to become part of a Framework Agreement. Stakeholders who are part of a Framework Agreement should refer to the new SSC Guiding Principles 2.0 from 2021. The latest version available on the internet should always be consulted for the most recent update. Guidelines from both 2020 and 2015 can be found below.
