15.11.2026 - 14.11.2030

Dans un contexte sahélien marqué par des risques sécuritaires et climatiques, les systèmes de production au Niger restent fragiles. L’agriculture, principale activité de la population, demeure faiblement productive et exposée aux chocs.

Tchad: Renforcement des organisations de femmes pour une gouvernance participative

01.11.2026 - 31.10.2028

À travers son appui au Fonds Genre EDIFIS (Education, Droits et santé sexuels et reproductifs, Insertion des Femmes et des Filles au Sahel), la Suisse vise à contribuer à la participation effective des femmes à la gouvernance en renforçant les capacités et les actions des organisations féministes locales. Le projet favorise ainsi une gouvernance plus inclusive et une participation accrue des femmes à la vie publique. En complément des interventions suisses dans le domaine de la gouvernance, il combine financement direct, accompagnement institutionnel, mise en réseau et production de connaissances sur l’égalité des genres. Il renforce le rôle des organisations tchadiennes en privilégiant le transfert de compétences vers des acteurs locaux souvent exclus des financements externes.

Contribution à UNHAS 2026-2028
