The Global Vaccine Alliance Gavi

01.10.2020 - 31.12.2025

People in low and lower- middle-income countries are particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic as they often rely on fragile health systems to fight it. Because of the pandemic, routine immunization campaigns have been stopped or massively scaled-down, which in turn will severely impact the health of millions in these countries. Switzerland supports the Geneva-based Vaccine Alliance Gavi to provide equitable access to vaccines, including a future COVID-19 vaccine.

Supporting Small-scale Dairy Production

01.10.2020 - 31.03.2025

This contribution aims at improving economic empowerment and resilience of women dairy producers in Abkhazia and Samegrelo. The protracted conflict in Abkhazia impedes socio-economic development, leading to high poverty and vulnerability to external shocks, as COVID-19. Women are particularly vulnerable, as they are also victims of gender-based discrimination and domestic violence. Farmer Field Schools will empower women by enhancing their technical and leadership skills.

Sustainable and Innovative Rural Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (SIRWASH)

01.10.2020 - 31.03.2025

The Sustainable and Innovative Rural Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (SIRWASH) initiative improves enabling policy, innovation and knowledge environments and fosters the required capacities to provide sustainable quality water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services to rural communities – in particular poor households and vulnerable people – in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Haiti and Peru. It builds on Switzerland’s over 20 years of experience in strengthening rural WASH systems in Peru and Colombia.

The Swiss Capacity Building Facility

01.10.2020 - 30.06.2030

The Swiss Capacity Building Facility (SCBF) is a Swiss technical assistance financing facility, uniting the expertise of key actors of the Swiss financial sector and of partners engaged in financial inclusion. The SCBF fosters the innovation and massive scaling-up of financial services and products centred on the financial inclusion of low-income women, vulnerable households, smallholder farmers and MSMEs in the Global South. Financial inclusion enables reaching the SDGs.

TAKWEEN - Formation professionnelle en Tunisie

01.10.2020 - 31.10.2026

La Suisse se distingue depuis 2013 par l'impulsion des modèles innovants de formation à dominance pratique, assurant un taux d‘insertion professionnelle à hauteur de 70%. L’intervention marque la volonté de la Suisse à poursuivre son effort en faveur de la modernisation de la FP en Tunisie, par une implication accrue du secteur privé et par le positionnement de la formation professionnelle post-diplôme comme un élément attractif du système de formation institutionnalisé qui vient cibler une plus large palette de bénéficiaires.

IWGP - Inclusive Water Governance Project in Mekong Region

01.10.2020 - 30.04.2025

Through this project, Switzerland will support civil society organisations, women and vulnerable communities to better influence water resource governance and decision-making processes at all levels in the Greater Mekong Sub-region. The Swiss knowhow in transboundary water governance and citizen participation shall leverage more inclusive, transparent and accountable infrastructure development that better responds to the needs of vulnerable riverine communities and improve their livelihood.

O3+ Our Rights, Our Lives, Our Future

01.10.2020 - 31.12.2025

This project uses targeted interventions in post-secondary educational institutions in Zambia and Zimbabwe to improve access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) among 18-24 year-olds. Working with UNESCO and Ministries of Higher and Tertiary Education, the project brings Switzerland’s lengthy experience in the HIV/SRHR field to bear by targeting an often neglected cohort of young people with tailored interventions to reduce HIV infections, unintended pregnancies, and gender-based violence.

Himayatuna - Appui à la protection civile tunisienne

01.10.2020 - 31.07.2027

Ce projet mis en oeuvre à travers une action directe se fixe comme objectifs i) de renforcer les capacités opérationnelles de l’Office National de la Protection Civile (ONPC), l’acteur majeur de réponse aux crises en Tunisie, en matière de Recherche et Sauvetage en Milieu Urbain (RSMU) via la création d’un site d’entraînement à vocation régionale, et ii) d’améliorer les compétences des volontaires de la protection civile. Il permet d’accompagner le pays vers une meilleure préparation aux urgences dans un contexte caractérisé par une certaine fragilité. Il répond à une demande formulée par la Tunisie.

SI - Health through sustainable WaSH

01.10.2020 - 30.04.2025

The project aims to reduce mortality and morbidity of target populations through safe hygiene behaviours generated by the provision of safe water supply, environmental sanitation and integrating vector control. Three different phases of intervention (shock absorption, early recovery and risk preparedness and adaption) ensure delivery of sustainable and multi-sectoral solutions to maximise impact. A strong inclusion of the beneficiaries is aimed at in all phases of the project.

PASEFA - Programme d’appui à la sécurisation des exploitations familiales agro pastorales

01.10.2020 - 31.01.2027

Au Niger, l’agriculture et l’élevage constituent les sources de revenus et d’aliments pour 80% de la population. La productivité décroissante des exploitations familiales (EF) ne leur permet pas d’assurer leur sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle. Le front agricole s’étend, exacerbant les conflits entre agriculteurs et éleveurs. En sécurisant l’accès au foncier et revitalisant les systèmes de production de manière durable, la Suisse contribuera à augmenter les moyens d’existence des EF dans un environnement apaisé.

Low Carbon Cement (LCC) - Phase 3 (Exit Phase)

15.09.2020 - 30.11.2022

Cement production contributes significantly to global warming. This phase aims at the commercial deployment of a new cement type (LC3) which emits 15-30% less CO₂ compared to standard cements. LC3 was extensively researched by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) with partners in Cuba and India. Industrial deployment will be achieved through commercial production and application by the construction sector mainly in India and Latin America with support of the project.

Open source Health Insurance Management Information System (OpenIMIS)

01.09.2020 - 31.08.2023

Health related costs often represent a massive financial burden for poor households. Lack or inexistence of social protection mechanisms imply that ill and injured people have no choice but to pay out-of-pocket for services and care. Health insurance schemes potentially prevent households from falling into a poverty trap. SDC and BMZ have developed the only open-source software for fully managing a social health protection scheme. This tool will be further promoted and implemented in LMICs.
