Strengthening policy dialogue on DRR & RR of Andean countries
14.11.2022
- 31.10.2025
The project aims at strengthening policy dialogue on Disaster Risk Reduction and Rapid Response among Andean countries in particular and within the Latin America countries in general. The participation of SDC’s key partners in DRR and humanitarian events (e.g. the yearly Humanitarian Network and Partnership Week) will facilitate knowledge exchange, experience sharing and increased collaboration within the region. The project will further contribute to this by engaging in knowledge management supporting regional policy dialogue, and by financially contributing to specific events.
Rural Markets
01.01.2022
- 30.09.2023
The political and health crisis in recent years has affected the economic activity of the Family Production Units (UPFs, in Spanish), which is why their resilience needs to be strengthened. The market development approach, applied in phases I and II of the project, has proven its potential to solve major bottlenecks. In the last phase, the proposal is to consolidate and scale up the achievements in the market systems, as well as of the public and private services supporting them, focusing on knowledge management and sustainability mechanisms.
PROCOSI - Campaña de comunicación y educación para la prevención y contención de la pandemia en áreas urbanas y rurales vulnerables. EDUCOVID-19
01.09.2021
- 30.08.2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting the most vulnerable segments among the population in Bolivia. The Swiss funded communication and sensibilization campaign of the PROCOSI community health network contributes to reducing morbidity through educational and preventive interventions for health promotion and vaccination in 8 urban and rural municipalities.
Building Regional Adaptive capacity and resilience to climate variability and change in Vulnerable sectors in the Andes (BRAVA)
01.06.2021
- 31.12.2026
SDC contributes to the World Meteorological Organisation’s ENANDES project, aiming to increase the resilience of 6 Latin-American countries to climate change. With the support of Swiss researchers and experts from MeteoSwiss, the project will increase the predictive capabilities of the responsible national authorities and support co-design of Weather, Water and Climate Services across the region, to the benefit of the local population, including the most vulnerable.
Socioeconomic recovery of micro and small enterprises, agricultural production units and organizations providing social services within the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic
20.08.2020
- 30.04.2022
Due to the devastating impact of COVID-19 on Bolivia’s economy, many micro and small enterprises are facing bankruptcy. As they are the backbone of the Bolivian economy and responsible for most of its job creation, employees and the self-employed are seeing huge job losses and rising food insecurity. This project will help preserve jobs and increase the resilience of micro and small enterprises by providing sanitary support measures in the short term, and by promoting alternative and innovative business models in the long-term.
Fondo Suizo de Apoyo a la Cultura
01.06.2020
- 31.12.2023
La Cooperación Suiza en Bolivia asigna de acuerdo a lineamientos de la casa matriz el 1% de su inversión a la cultura, por la relevante contribución de las expresiones culturales en el diálogo intercultural y los procesos de desarrollo. El apoyo se dirige a sectores de la sociedad que por razones geográficas o sociales disponen de posibilidades limitadas de realizar expresiones culturales o de tener acceso a manifestaciones culturales y artísticas.
Bioculture and Climate Change
01.04.2020
- 31.10.2023
Bolivia is highly vulnerable to the effects of Climate Change, particularly in its regions of greater population density and poverty. Over two phases, the program has helped Bolivia to improve the resilience capacity of its most vulnerable communities, while in parallel building up and strengthening the public sector’s capacity in this area. The third and final phase aims to consolidate the mechanisms put in place by the State to implement its climate change related policies at national and subnational levels.
PROMYPE Project Integral services to improve the performance of urban micro and small enterprises in Bolivia
01.04.2020
- 31.12.2023
Micro and small enterprises in urban areas of Bolivia face difficulties that limit them increasing their productivity and improving incomes and jobs for their workers. The PROMYPE Project (formerly Jiwasa) supports the provision of integral public services aimed at addressing bottlenecks in production conditions and access to finance and markets. It also promotes the linking of national and local policies to support MSEs.
Support for the elections process in Bolivia
23.03.2020
- 30.11.2021
New elections in Bolivia will be held in May 2020 at national level and in November 2020 at local and regional level. SDC support will strengthen the legitimacy of the Plurinational Electoral Agency, and give continuity to the work of civil society to improve media information and electoral observation. This will help overcome the crisis following the general election in October 2019, restore the public’s confidence in the transparency, independence and impartiality of the electoral process and strengthen the role of civil society.
Diálogo y Apoyo Colaborativo (DAC)
01.07.2019
- 31.12.2023
El diálogo democrático es el camino adecuado para que, desde la diversidad y la diferencia, se puedan lograr acuerdos. De esta manera, es posible trabajar de manera colaborativa para encontrar respuesta a los antiguos y nuevos desafíos que plantea el desarrollo de Bolivia. La experiencia de la Cooperación para el Desarrollo de la Embajada de Suiza en Bolivia ha demostrado que el desarrollo es más inclusivo, legítimo y sostenible en la medida que surge de un proceso democrático y participativo.

El desarrollo de competencias profesionales es clave para mejorar la producción y ampliar las oportunidades de empleo y autoempleo. El proyecto tiene como objetivo reducir la pobreza y la desigualdad mejorando el acceso al mercado laboral. Busca fortalecer las competencias profesionales y certificar competencias con énfasis en jóvenes y adultos, promover la calidad de los centros de formación y la corresponsabilidad de los actores públicos/privados. Las estrategias cubren tanto el nivel nacional como el local.
