Migliori condizioni di sussistenza per gli allevatori etiopi grazie a uno sfruttamento più sostenibile delle risorse idriche e dei pascoli
01.06.2015
- 31.08.2020
Siccità, carenza di foraggio e conflitti per il controllo delle risorse naturali rendono grama la vita degli allevatori di bestiame nel Sud dell’Etiopia. Per migliorare la loro sicurezza alimentare e la capacità di resilienza in caso di crisi, la DSC ha adottato una serie di misure che vanno dal risanamento dei pascoli e dei pozzi all’introduzione di piani di utilizzazione e alla creazione di nuove fonti di reddito per le donne.

Ethiopia, IOM - Durable Solutions
10.12.2018
- 09.12.2019
Ethiopia has about 2.1 million internally displaced people (IDPs) mainly due to conflict, drought and flood. Addressing the needs of IDPs has been limited to meeting their short-term humanitarian needs. Given the prolonged economic, social, and gender impacts of displacement on individuals, there is a critical need for longer-term solutions. Switzerland will contribute through IOM to address the long-term needs of the displaced and host communities in their search for self-sufficiency.

The Horn of Africa is of high interest for Switzerland in terms of migration policy. Swiss support to the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and its Member States will contribute to improve their capacities to manage migration. Migrants and refugees will be better protected in the region and the contribution of migration to development of the Horn of Africa will be supported, hence stability promoted. The Swiss expertise and engagement at the policy level will contribute to foster a dialogue on migration between Switzerland and the Horn of Africa.
