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-

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.

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.

01.02.2016 - 31.12.2020

La violencia de género es un problema muy extendido en Nepal, causa del estancamiento del desarrollo sostenible. Por ello, la COSUDE y el Fondo de Población de las Naciones Unidas (United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA) lanzó a principios del 2016 un proyecto de prevención y acción concebido para una duración de 3 años que sirve para informar a mujeres y niñas sobre cuáles son sus derechos y alentarlas a identificar agresiones. A los hombres y niños se les motiva a modificar su comportamiento con respecto a las mujeres, mientras que a las víctimas se las ha de tratar mejor y con más diligencia. Ya se pueden constatar los primeros y alentadores cambios.

This is to address food insecurity, restore and rebuild livelihoods and develop disaster resilient communities to be able to better cope with future natural disasters. The seconded DRR expert will support WFP’s country team, to build the required level of capacities at the strategic planning and in field implementation.

Réduction des risques de catastrophes « naturelles » dans le Département du Sud-Est d’Haïti (RRC / Sud-Est)

01.02.2016 - 31.08.2018

Dans un contexte de catastrophes « naturelles » récurrentes qui minent les efforts de redressement du pays, le projet vise à réduire les risques de catastrophes pour les populations rurales et périurbaines de la municipalité de Jacmel (département du Sud-Est) en créant d’une part des conditions favorables à la prise de mesures de prévention grâce à des actions de formation et de promotion d’une gouvernance locale du risque, et en stimulant d’autre part une demande pour des mesures par une sensibilisation de la population.

Core contribution to Women for Water Partnership (WfWP)

01.02.2016 - 31.12.2018

Gender equity is a precondition for equitable water resources management and human development opportunities for both women and men. Special attention is therefore required to women’s empowerment. Thus the continuation of the partnership with Women for Water Partnership (WfWP), the leading network of women organisations, is crucial in order to advocate for gender equity, increase women’s involvement and tap the full potential of their contribution to the water and development agenda.
