01.03.2016 - 31.12.2016

The Humanitarian Response Fund (HRF) managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) provides flexible funding for life-saving interventions in Ethiopia. Due to consecutive failure of rainfall amplified by the El Nino phenomenon, the continued influx of refugees as well as sporadic disease outbreaks, Ethiopia is currently facing a serious humanitarian crisis. Switzerland's contribution to the HRF allows for a rapide, flexible, coordinated and needs-based humanitarian response.

Miembros de una familia mirando de buen talante documentos de viaje.

01.03.2016 - 31.12.2020

Cada año miles de personas abandonan Sri Lanka, sobre todo en dirección a los países del Golfo para trabajar allí durante algunos años. Promueven así el desarrollo de su país de origen; sin embargo, a menudo son susceptibles de sufrir violaciones de sus derechos humanos fundamentales, en particular de sus derechos laborales. Por ello, la COSUDE se compromete a establecer condiciones marco dignas para la migración laboral en la región.

Emergency assistance to Conflict-affected population in Eastern Ukraine

25.02.2016 - 31.12.2016

In early 2014, a deep political crisis in Ukraine and the secretive Russian military interference resulted in a major armed conflict in the East of the country, which led to massive displacement of civilian population and heavy destruction of infrastructures and private properties. A ceasefire formally in place since 15 February 2015 has allowed the Swiss Humanitarian Aid (SHA) to conduct three large humanitarian transports (health, water) benefitting the population in the Oblast of Donetsk (on both sides of the contact line) and the large city of Dnipropetrovsk.

Swiss experts to UN agencies in the frame of the regional crises in the Middle East

24.02.2016 - 31.12.2017

The Middle East is currently contending with two L3 crises: Iraq and Syria. Over 20 million people need humanitarian assistance: refugees, lDPs, host communities. In line with the Swiss Cooperation Strategy 2015-

2018, SHA experts provide technical support & strategic advice to UN agencies, contributing to a strengthened, coordinated response. The deployed experts allow Switzerland to expand its operational engagement and humanitarian presence in the region, including in contexts where SDC has no office (Iraq and Syria).

Switzerland donates ambulances to Syria's suffering population

20.02.2016 - 31.12.2018

The SDC has delivered twelve new ambulances to the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC). A Swiss delegation accompanied the delivery in the Syrian capital Damascus. The ambulances are urgently needed in Syria because the country's health system has too few ambulances to cope with the enormous number of victims caused by the war, including attacks against hospitals.

The Swiss contribution to this project at the interface of science and policy aims to support the implementation of Agenda 2030 with a particular focus on Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16). Two of the most respected academic institutions – the Centre on international cooperation at New York University and the Small arms survey at the Graduate institute for international and development studies – will combine their respective expertise. They will build intellectual foundations, evidence and partnerships that will accelerate the delivery of SDG 16 as well as related Development goals.

OCHA: Inter Cluster and Field Coordination in Meta

15.02.2016 - 31.03.2017

The cluster approach ongoing in Colombia since 2006 requires important coordination services among a wider range of partners, supporting the HC to ensure a coherent response, and providing field-based cluster leads with the inter-agency tools. Inter cluster coordination represents the strategic axis to ensure an adequate level of interaction among clusters and local humanitarian/coordination teams. With 9 operating humanitarian local teams in the field, where OCHA acts as secretariat, field coordination is an essential function of OCHA to deliver standardised guidelines to HLT, ensure proper support to partners and guaranty an efficient coordination of the local humanitarian response.

Swiss Bluetec Bridge: Swiss start-ups benefit disadvantaged populations

11.02.2016 - 31.05.2025

In addition to the sustainable management of resources and good governance, water-related challenges open up a wide field for technological innovation, particularly in the application of nanotechnologies for water treatment, especially ones which are energy-efficient. The challenge for Swiss Bluetec Bridge is to put these cutting-edge 'Swiss' technologies at the service of the poor and ensure that they are sustainably managed. To do this the project must seek to bridge the gap between public support for start-ups and private investment.

A National Training System for Simulation in Anaesthesia & Intensive Care and other Specialities

08.02.2016 - 30.06.2019

Anaesthesia & Intensive Care in adult and paediatric care is characterized by a high complexity of manoeuvres and specific procedures, as well as very complex clinical scenarios. There is an obvious need for stronger skills- based training as required by the European training models. In order to develop and maintain high training standards, Romania has recently introduced simulation methodology into continuous medical education (CME) at University level. However, the training capacity in in Romania remains limited: from the leading five universities, only two (Cluj, Tg-Mures) have simulation centres which are to some degree functional.
