- 31.07.2024
In 2017, Switzerland embarked on a multi-donor project which laid a solid foundation for women’s economic empowerment in the South Caucasus, yet, further support is needed to fulfil women’s rights, which remain constrained by structural and cultural barriers.

Mercato del lavoro più inclusivo per le donne nel Caucaso meridionale
01.11.2017
- 31.07.2021
Nei tre Paesi del Caucaso meridionale (Armenia, Azerbaigian e Georgia) molte donne sono vittime di discriminazioni sul mercato del lavoro. Una politica delle pari opportunità che sostenga la creazione di posti di lavoro nell’economia formale non esiste, le donne lavorano nel sistema informale e non sono tutelate. Il progetto «Women’s Economic Empowerment in the South Caucasus» (empowerment economico delle donne nel Caucaso meridionale) mira a promuovere l’emancipazione delle donne nel settore economico per favorire l’accesso paritario al mercato del lavoro e al mondo imprenditoriale.

Reddito più elevato nel Caucaso meridionale grazie a prodotti agricoli più concorrenziali
01.04.2017
- 30.04.2022
L’allevamento di bestiame è una fonte di reddito importante per la maggior parte della popolazione rurale in Georgia, Armenia e Azerbaigian. Tuttavia, molti contadini conducono un’economia di sussistenza e, di conseguenza, riescono a malapena a coprire il proprio fabbisogno. Il progetto persegue l’obiettivo di rafforzare le piccole aziende agricole e di creare l’accesso ai mercati, per far sì che possano vendere miele, carne, formaggio e lana e aumentare in modo sostenibile il loro reddito.

Sostenere la tracciabilità degli animali nella regione del Caucaso meridionale
15.06.2016
- 31.12.2021
Nell’agricoltura moderna è indispensabile conoscere la provenienza degli animali e raccogliere informazioni sulla loro salute per evitare la propagazione di malattie e impedire la commercializzazione di prodotti derivanti da animali malati. Un sistema di tracciabilità contribuirà ad aumentare i redditi degli agricoltori del Caucaso meridionale grazie all’effetto combinato di una migliore produttività degli allevamenti e di un migliore accesso ai mercati per i prodotti.
