Science-Policy-Practice Dialogue

31.03.2013 - 31.12.2016

Research is critical for tackling urgent global problems and enhancing worldwide a more sustainable and equitable development. In Switzerland various actors from the public and private sector are engaged in development relevant research. The Swiss Commission for Research Partnerships with Developing Countries (KFPE) promotes research collaboration with Africa, Asia, and Latin America. SDC supports KFPE’s effort to promote the dialogue with relevant stakeholders on research for global sustainable development.

Katalyst

16.03.2013 - 31.03.2018

SDC co-finances the market development project Katalyst – an international flagship – since 2002 in order to contribute to increased income of poor people in Bangladesh through improved competitiveness of farmers and small businesses in key rural sectors. A final 4 year phase comprising CHF 32 million in collaboration with DFID and DANIDA is foreseen to ensure sustainability of systemic changes achieved so far and to firmly anchor the Katalyst experience within Bangladesh.

Regional Aguasan Programme

01.03.2013 - 30.06.2016

Swiss cooperation is well recognized in the water supply and sanitation sector in Honduras and Nicaragua. Regional activities in Central America enhance coverage, strengthen capacity building, support the harmonisation of sector specific plans and strengthen the formulation of policies at a regional level.

Contribution to Network for Policy Research, Review and Advice on Education and Training (NORRAG)

01.03.2013 - 28.02.2015

Being an international network, NORRAG allows policy dialogue between a diversity of actors. It provides just-in-time knowledge on international education and training policies. It supports capacity development and evidence-based policy making, particularly in the Global South. The period of shaping the post MDGs/EFA agenda (2013-2015) is crucial for recalling the importance of basic education and training. By covering these two themes, NORRAG is a strategic partner for SDC.

Aguasan Programme Honduras

01.03.2013 - 30.06.2017

The population in rural areas and small towns of poor regions in Honduras still widely lacks sustainable water and sanitation services. The programme aims at improving living conditions of the population by providing water and sanitation infrastructure. State institutions at national and municipal levels will be strengthened. Community participation in the design, implementation and operation of the water infrastructure will be enhanced, thus contributing to the sustainability of service delivery.

Renforcement de l’élevage pastoral

01.03.2013 - 30.06.2018

L’élevage pastoral est l’activité économique dominante et le mode de vie principal des régions sahélo-sahariennes du Tchad. Il est un facteur essentiel de stabilité socioéconomique et de sécurité. Il est confronté à des difficultés croissantes, liées notamment au changement climatique. La DDC entend renforcer l’élevage pastoral dans trois régions au bénéfice direct de 700'000 personnes, par la réalisation de 100 puits pastoraux et 10 mares, le balisage de 500 km de couloirs de transhumance, et par le soutien aux services à l’élevage et aux organisations pastorales

Catastrophic Microinsurance in Central America

01.03.2013 - 31.03.2022

Central America is a natural disasters prone region where large vulnerable populations suffer over-proportionately from increasing frequency and impact of climate change events, as traditional disaster coping mechanisms are eroding with growing environmental pressures and rising urbanisation. The public-private development partnership with Swiss Re, FOMIN, and KfW’s Climate Adaptation Fund supports MiCRO in strengthening the disaster resilience of at least 80’000 vulnerable households by 30.9.2016.

Dam rehabilitation of the Reservoir of Rakaca

01.03.2013 - 30.11.2016

The dam stability of Rakaca reservoir is deficient at certain places. This problem is aggravated by a drainage system which is not well-functioning. The project partly renews the unstable part of the dam and rehabilitates the drainage system. This reduces the risk of a dam failure with related flood waves for the 5’200 inhabitants of down-stream settlements. Furthermore, supply of drinking water is ensured in the long run for 35’000 inhabitants of the region.

Strengthening of Evaluation Results at IDB and in Latin America (approval of the project by the IDB is pending)

01.03.2013 - 31.03.2016

The project will help strengthen the capacity of the independent office of evaluation of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and make a contribution to raising the evaluation capacity in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The project will contribute to better IDB evaluations and improved use of lessons learnt from evaluations to enhance the development effectiveness of programs of the IDB whose overarching goal is poverty reduction and sustainable development.
