Rural Small and Medium Enterprises Development in Georgia
01.07.2020
- 31.12.2024
Georgia’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are poorly performing in terms of productivity and job creation. The project aims at enhancing accessibility for rural business support services and affordable financing, which are the major causes of underperformance. With improved capacities and competitiveness, rural SMEs will increase productivity, diversify markets, be resilient to external shocks (such as COVID-19 crisis) and create jobs and income opportunities for rural women and men.
Innovation for Social Change
01.07.2020
- 31.08.2027
Switzerland promotes growth of impact-first enterprises in Tanzania through the provision of tailored technical assistance and innovative impact-linked financing (ILF) instruments. Support to enterprises is tied to their potential or proven social impact, measured against the extent of improvements in social and economic well-being among poor youths and young women. Switzerland further promotes strategic policy dialogues, paving way for systemic support to impact-first enterprises.
AREN - Programme d’appui au renforcement de l’enseignement normal au Mali
01.07.2020
- 31.05.2028
Au Mali, environ deux tiers des élèves terminent le cycle primaire sans avoir acquis les compétences de base. Ce constat est dû, en partie, à l’inadéquation des programmes de formation des enseignants avec ceux de l’école fondamentale. Au regard du contexte, le système scolaire doit développer des alternatives éducatives. Le programme AREN cible la formation et la gestion des enseignants pour contribuer à renforcer la qualité et la performance du système d’éducation du Mali et prépare les futurs enseignants pour faire face à la crise.
