DRC: Rebuilding Returnees’ Housing and Livelihoods in Ergneti (Shida Kartli)
16.10.2013
- 30.06.2015
Tailor-made housing solutions, needs-based livelihood support and repairs of small-scale infrastructure are instrumental for supporting stable return and reintegration of the war affected families to Ergneti village.

Climate and Clean Air in Latin American Cities Programme
01.10.2013
- 30.06.2016
Poor health resulting from air pollution costs billions of dollars annually in medical costs and lost productivity. Fast action to reduce air pollution can have a direct and more cost effective impact on climate change in the near term. The programme will support the alliance of key Latin American cities committed to taking action and making a difference on two fronts at once that will benefit the most vulnerable: air pollution and climate. The intervention will enhance South-South knowledge exchange capitalising on a successful and long-standing Chilean-Swiss partnership.
