Programme d’Appui au Secteur de l’Elevage au Mali – PASEM

01.12.2014 - 30.06.2023

Malgré son importance dans l’économie, l’environnement et les sociétés (agro)pastorales, l’élevage rencontre plusieurs contraintes dont la faible productivité, l’insécurité foncière, la faible organisation des acteurs et une forme de marginalisation sociale des éleveurs. La DDC souhaite valoriser les immenses potentialités de l’élevage en renforçant l’approche chaine de valeurs orientée vers le développement des marchés et des acteurs du secteur privé, favorisant la prise en compte des pauvres, des femmes et des jeunes.

Myanmar: Support to the 2015 Elections

01.12.2014 - 30.11.2018

The 2015 general elections are arguably Myanmar’s single most important step in its current historical political transition. They would be the first major democratic elections in the country in 50 years and will determine who will lead the country, its profound reforms and peace process at this crucial time. If sufficiently credible, transparent, inclusive and free of violence, they may lead to a scale up of intergovernmental support and direct foreign investment.

The SABA Water and Sanitation Experience: Boosting Impact at Global Scale (SABA+)

01.12.2014 - 30.11.2018

Many countries transitioning to a higher economic status still struggle on the water and sanitation component. In countries where water supply or sanitation have been installed, aggregate outcomes tend to mask that the quality of services is poor, that inequalities are increasing and improvements in access do often not reach those groups who suffer most. Thus, new models of intervention and financing strategies are required for such countries.. Through this new initiative, and by finalizing a unique scaling-up process in Peru and replicating it in post-conflict areas of Colombia, SDC will also enrich the global debate on the fulfillment of the SDGs and the gradual exercise of the human right to water with a new model of intervention and a new financing strategy.

Protection and risk prevention for children and youth affected by armed conflict and/or forced recruitment, and improvement of livelihoods of targeted communities in Tierralta (Córdoba) and Buenaventura (Valle del Cauca)

The five decades running armed conflict in Colombia continues to cause humanitarian needs such as internal displacement, landmine contamination, access constraints, use and recruitment of children and youth, gender based violence, and gaps in the provision of protection to vulnerable groups, especially indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities. In addition, in rural and urban areas of the departments of Valle del Cauca and Córdoba, the access to safe water and sanitation services is limited, and communities face a deterioration of agricultural livelihoods, which increase the vulnerability of the population.

Long-term farming system comparisons in the tropics

01.12.2014 - 31.12.2018

Agriculture based on high external inputs resulted in productivity increases but has high negative external costs. Alternative systems such as organic agriculture exist but information on their economic, environmental and social performance is scarce. This long-term system comparison led by the Swiss-based Research Institute for Organic Agriculture (FiBL) provides scientific evidence on the productivity and profitability of organic agriculture compared to conventional agriculture in four production systems of the tropics.
