New approach in Bosnia and Herzegovina for democratisation
01.07.2014
- 31.03.2021
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s water and sanitation infrastructure is outdated and a large segment of the population has no access to a water supply. The starting point for the SDC’s project is good governance – the authorities must be transparent about building and renovation decisions, and ensure an inclusive political process for the citizens their decisions affect.

Madagascar figure, en matière d'accès à l'eau potable et à l'assainissement, parmi les pays les moins avancés du monde. Les maladies liées à une mauvaise système d'assainissement et d'hygiène ou à l'eau non-potable constituent la deuxième cause de morbidité. Le projet, basé sur les expériences d'une première phase, offrira à 118'000 personnes un accès sécurisé à de l'eau potable et à 12'000 personnes un accès à des latrines surelevées, le tout accompagné d'actions de promotion à l'hygiène.

Water Resource Platforms
01.07.2014
- 30.06.2016
Water scarcity is an increasing concern for many governments in developing countries. They face challenges in managing water resources to safely deliver the water needed to fuel growth, as well as for humans and the environment. This project proposes to consolidate its work with three global Water Resources Platforms, namely the Water Resources Group (2030 WRG), the World Economic Forum (WEF) Water Initiative, and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), to incorporate perspectives from the private sector and economic growth into the water dialogue. In addition, the private sector is concerned to use water more efficiently and to bring in its know-how into the water sector.

INTERSOS - Increasing Livelihood Opportunities for both Yemenis and Refugees in Yemen Through Access to Gainful Employment, Education and Vocational Training
01.07.2014
- 31.12.2015
The project mainly provides vulnerable Yemeni youth and refugees in Yemen – with a special focus on females – with enhanced economic self-reliance and livelihood opportunities through access to formal technical education and vocational training at governmental institutions. At the same time, the project improves the capacities of the Ministry of Technical Education and Vocational Training (MOTEVT) and its institutes with two new vocations relevant to the Yemeni labour market. Being unemployment/lack of livelihood opportunities – especially among youth –one of the major challenges faced currently by Yemen, and one of the main factors of political instability and insecurity, this project eventually contributes to the stabilisation of Yemen.

Contribution to the Improvement of Water and Sanitation Services through Integrated Regional Planning in Moldova

SDC will support the water supply infrastructure in 3 villages in the south of Moldova and the capacity building of local and regional water supply service providers.
