Agroécologie périurbaine - Pro-ARIDES Mali

01.07.2026 - 30.06.2030

Les systèmes alimentaires périurbains jouent un rôle clé dans l’approvisionnement des villes, mais restent fortement exposés à la dégradation des ressources naturelles, à l’insécurité foncière et à un accès limité aux marchés structurés. Dans ce contexte, la Suisse soutient la mise à l’échelle du maraîchage agroécologique comme levier de résilience, de sécurité alimentaire et d’opportunités économiques, en ciblant prioritairement les producteurs vulnérables et leur intégration aux marchés urbains, en particulier celui de Bamako.

The combined expertise of SDC and MeteoSwiss maximises the impact of Swiss support.

01.07.2026 - 31.01.2027

Sudan is facing one of the world’s largest displacement crises, with millions displaced by conflict, insecurity, and collapsing services, while shifting frontlines drive returns and highly fluid population movements. IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) provides the only nationwide system to monitor these dynamics in real time. The project ensures continued collection, analysis, and sharing of critical data across all 18 states, while strengthening early warning through rapid alerts and data from key border points. This enables humanitarian actors to respond quickly and effectively to evolving needs.
