Community driven Watershed Management for Climate Change Adaptation in Nicaragua
01.06.2020
- 31.12.2023
The project will help 23’000 people in the Dipilto Basin to strengthen their resilience in the face of climate change and ensure that the community management model developed is institutionalized and replicated by national and regional bodies.
Community Watershed Management Program for Climate Change Adaptation – “Nuestra Cuenca Goascarán” (NCG)
01.04.2019
- 30.06.2024
The program empowers watershed organizations composed of public-private actors to govern a manage water resources in a sustainable and integrated way, together with the adoption of new technologies, this will improve living conditions and reduce impact of climate change for 20,000 families in 16 municipalities, located in the Goascoran watershed river.

Gobernanza del riesgo en Centroamérica
01.12.2017
- 31.07.2022
Centroamérica es vulnerable al cambio y la variabilidad climática así como a otras amenazas geológicas que ponen en riesgo la vida de alrededor de 19 millones de personas y su desarrollo económico. El proyecto promueve la gobernanza regional para mejorar la efectividad en la reducción de los desastres y la adaptación al cambio climático para contribuir al desarrollo resiliente. Promueve acciones de preparación y respuesta a desastres, así como la formación especializada y de calidad en reducción de riesgos de desastres en carreras universitarias seleccionadas.

Toda la régión está experimentando vulnerabilidad las que pueden causar catástrofes cuya magnitud limitada en la myoría de los casos, no justifica la activacíon de una respuesta internacional, perso todavía puede causar cictimas y daños considerables. En la misma manera los fenómenos geoffisicos como terremotos, tsunamis, erupciones volcánicas, etc., afectan la región. A través de pegueñas contribuciones Suiza se manifiesta como un socio de confianza para el fortalecimiento de su red y al mismo tiempo aumentar su visibilidad.

Community Driven Watershed Management for Climate Change Adaptation in Nicaragua
01.01.2016
- 30.06.2020
Environmental degradation and climate change are reducing the capacity of the Dipilto River watershed to provide ecosystem services (water, forest) to the population, increasing their vulnerability and deepening poverty. The program will strengthen dialogue among stakeholders, empower communities and provide economic incentives for restoring the hydrologic and environmental equilibrium of the watershed, increasing the resilience of its 27 thousand inhabitants.

Community-driven watershed management for climate change adaptation
01.12.2013
- 31.12.2018
The "Dry Corridor" of Honduras has a “climate risk index” rating that is among the world’s highest. The population suffers from repeated drought and other extreme meteorological events. Rural families depend on natural resources and are the most affected. One critically important adaptation to climate change is integral water management. Using a community-driven approach, through dialogue and territorial governance mechanisms, the program will improve the resilience of the poor in the trans-border watershed of the Goascorán River.

In Nicaragua, reducing the risks of disasters is paying off
01.10.2013
- 31.03.2017
An experimental project on minimising damage linked to climate change has been conducted over a period of a little more than three years in Nicaragua. It has enabled thousands of smallholder farmers to become aware of the problem and to try out new techniques. And it has increased their harvests.

Catastrophic Microinsurance in Central America
01.03.2013
- 31.03.2022
Central America is a natural disasters prone region where large vulnerable populations suffer over-proportionately from increasing frequency and impact of climate change events, as traditional disaster coping mechanisms are eroding with growing environmental pressures and rising urbanisation. The public-private development partnership with Swiss Re, FOMIN, and KfW’s Climate Adaptation Fund supports MiCRO in strengthening the disaster resilience of at least 80’000 vulnerable households by 30.9.2016.

Disaster Risk Reduction Programme 2013-2017
01.02.2013
- 30.09.2019
Climate change will strongly affect Central America. DRR and CCA have become a public policy priority in Nicaragua and Honduras. The SDC DRR programme supports institutions at the regional, national and local level to strengthen response capacities and increase resilience. Capacities will be enhanced in local development planning, research, academic curricula, and community mobilization. Successful approaches will be consolidated, refined and scaled up.
