Lars Knuchel heads the new Information DFA service
The Information EDA communications service, which was created through the merger of the SDC and FDFA information services, is headed by Lars Knuchel. Jean-Philippe Jeannerat, the former head of information at the FDFA, left his post this summer.
The information service of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) will be merged with the FDFA's information service and managed by Lars Knuchel under the name Information FDFA. The 44-year-old has served as the foreign ministry's spokesman since 2005; most recently, the former journalist was deputy head of FDFA Information. The previous FDFA chief of information, Jean-Philippe Jeannerat, left the post this summer.
The new service, which according to Knuchel should neither cost more nor result in job cuts, comprises the four teams Media, Communications, Web, and Administration and Logistics. It is part of the FDFA's General Secretariat. The outsourcing of the SDC's information service had already been envisaged in August in connection with the internal reorganization under the new head Martin Dahinden.
