Mobilisation contre le VIH/Sida dans les prisons d’Afrique australe
01.08.2015
- 30.09.2018
Face au taux alarmant de prévalence du VIH/Sida dans les prisons d’Afrique australe, la DDC s’engage pour réformer le système de soins en milieu carcéral au Malawi, Swaziland, Zambie et Zimbabwe. Les autorités concernées sont accompagnées dans la mise en œuvre de standards de soins prédéfinis. Le personnel des prisons bénéficie de formations. De nouvelles infrastructures sont également financées, destinées en particulier aux femmes et aux jeunes prisonniers.

Permettre aux orphelins du SIDA de penser à leur avenir
01.05.2012
- 31.12.2015
L’Afrique australe détient le triste record du plus grand nombre d’enfants orphelins dans le monde. Le VIH/SIDA, qui fauche des générations entières, mais aussi les conflits armés ainsi que la pauvreté affectent fortement les conditions de vie et le bien-être psychosocial des enfants dans cette partie du monde. Privations, abus, mariages précoces et forcés, ainsi que la charge de s’occuper des parents malades, frères ou sœurs, font partie de leur quotidien. Depuis 2002, une Initiative régionale de soutien psychosocial redonne à ces enfants assurance et confiance.

Initiative pour le maïs en Afrique australe
01.01.2011
- 30.09.2015
Les chercheurs du projet «New Seed Initiative for Maize in Southern Africa» (NSIMA) contribuent à la sécurité alimentaire en développant des variétés de maïs tolérantes à la sécheresse, qui donnent un meilleur rendement que les espèces traditionnelles, même dans des sols peu fertiles. En collaboration avec des acteurs étatiques et privés du secteur du maïs, ils encouragent également la production et la commercialisation des semences (y compris pour les petits paysans).

Micro-assurance et microcrédit pour la sécurité alimentaire des petits paysans

- 30.06.2017
Le changement climatique affecte lourdement la sécurité alimentaire des petites exploitations agricoles de Zambie et du Malawi. Un projet alliant micro-assurance, microfinance et mesures de prévention de catastrophes vise à renforcer leur capacité d’adaptation. Des résultats prometteurs ont déjà été enregistrés en Ethiopie et au Sénégal.

FutureLife-Now!
01.01.2023
- 31.12.2030
‘FutureLife now! enhances primary HIV prevention and support treatment among young people. It will operate through schools and education systems and create synergies with health and climate change in line with Agenda 2030 and the goal to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. SDC’s longstanding commitment, acknowledged by SADC[1] Member States, is unique. It offers a distinct comparative advantage over short-term programs and is a prerequisite for systemic and positive behavioral change. [1] Southern African Development Community (SADC)
Menstrual Health Management (MHM)
15.09.2019
- 31.12.2021
Despite being the majority, young people have the worst HIV outcomes. Evidence-based, demographic and context-adapted responses are essential if ending AIDS by 2030 is to be attained. Proposed is a population level study to determine the impact of a comprehensive community based package of HIV services with a nested sub-study on Menstrual Health Management (MHM). Even though it is often neglected, MHM is crucial for women’s social inclusion, health and gender equality
Strengthening Agro-biodiversity in Southern Africa (SASA)
01.09.2019
- 31.08.2023
While governments have regional and national seed policies favourable to commercial certified seed production, these are restrictive on farmers’ seed systems that are diverse and resilient. The project capitalises on Swiss regional experiences on supporting seed systems in Southern Africa. This will include the empowerment of civil society, farmers’ organisations and governments in developing inclusive agricultural policies that ultimately contribute to sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity and improved well-being of smallholder farming communities.
Accountability in Health & Agriculture
01.07.2019
- 30.06.2023
While governments have translated regional policies on Food Security and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) into national policies, these are poorly implemented and the public lacks capacities to act effectively upon them. The project will improve the accountability and gender responsiveness of public resource management and complement the ongoing Swiss funded projects in ensuring that policy/advocacy work developed at national, regional and global levels is disseminated and implemented by relevant SADC and governmental institutions.
Gender transformative SRHR Systems for Improved HIV prevention
01.04.2018
- 31.03.2021
This programme contributes to the reduction of HIV infections and the improvement of sexual and reproductive health status of adolescents and young people in five Southern African countries. It strengthens capacities of communities and governments in mapping and addressing HIV and Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) needs of young people and advocates for integrated regional policies and frameworks.
Regional Arts and Culture Programme (RACP)
01.01.2018
- 31.12.2021
Southern Africa has a strong artistic heritage and cultural tradition which exudes from the talent of its diverse people. However, this rich heritage has been stifled by the lack of capacity, networking and resources among artists in the region. Through this programme, Switzerland supports art organisations and individual artists in Southern Africa to bring fresh perspectives, build on available cultural resources and strengthen the arts and culture sector’s contribution to development in the region.
Regional Vulnerability Assessment and Analysis (RVAA)
01.08.2017
- 31.03.2022
The project supports the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and its Member States in reducing vulnerability of households to disaster risks by increasing their preparedness for response and recovery and in strengthening their resilience. This will be achieved through institutionalising and sustaining vulnerability assessments and analyses systems that enhance emergency and developmental responses at national and regional levels.
Rural Resilience in Southern Africa / R4 Initiative
01.07.2017
- 30.06.2021
The project builds resilience of smallholder farmer households in three countries in Southern Africa (Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe) by enabling their adaptation to climate risk through a community oriented and market based risk management comprehensive approach. The initiative combines improved resource management (risk reduction), insurance (risk transfer), livelihoods diversification and microcredit (prudent risk taking) and savings (risk reserves). The combined interventions are carefully adapted to each country context.
