Strengthening Livelihoods and Social Inclusion in Georgia's Forest Sector Reform

01.07.2020 - 30.09.2025

As part of a comprehensive forest sector reform, the proposed project contribution aims at diversifying livelihood opportunities of target forest dependent communities and at strengthening the local capacities in forest management in a sustainable manner. This is particularly relevant since up to 90% of Georgia’s rural households rely on forests for energy and other purposes, leading to progressive forest degradation. The COVID-19 crisis further aggravates economic hardship of the most vulnerable groups among them.

The geographical scope expands to 20 new remote villages and targets women, men and children.

Skills Development remains high on Cambodia’s national agenda. Switzerland will scale up its support to youth in rural poor areas to access skill development, equipping them with relevant skills to access employment and improve their incomes.

Inclusive Insurance

01.07.2020 - 30.09.2022

Most of Bolivia's population is exposed to various risks that may trigger situations of poverty; in addition, the country is located in a region that is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. During the previous phases, the project sought to motivate actors in the insurance market to implement inclusive and agricultural insurance; the exit phase seeks to consolidate the conditions enabling the innovative and sustainable operation of this insurance market.

GBVPR - Gender-based Violence Prevention and Response Project

01.07.2020 - 04.08.2026

With its longstanding experience in promoting psychosocial support services and a strong engagement in support of federal state building, Switzerland is well positioned to engage on reducing all forms of GBV and discrimination against women in Nepal.

Rural Small and Medium Enterprises Development in Georgia

01.07.2020 - 31.12.2024

Georgia’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are poorly performing in terms of productivity and job creation. The project aims at enhancing accessibility for rural business support services and affordable financing, which are the major causes of underperformance. With improved capacities and competitiveness, rural SMEs will increase productivity, diversify markets, be resilient to external shocks (such as COVID-19 crisis) and create jobs and income opportunities for rural women and men.

01.07.2020 - 31.08.2027

Switzerland promotes growth of impact-first enterprises in Tanzania through the provision of tailored technical assistance and innovative impact-linked financing (ILF) instruments.

Switzerland further promotes strategic policy dialogues, paving way for systemic support to impact-first enterprises.

AREN - Programme d’appui au renforcement de l’enseignement normal au Mali

01.07.2020 - 31.05.2028

Au Mali, environ deux tiers des élèves terminent le cycle primaire sans avoir acquis les compétences de base. Ce constat est dû, en partie, à l’inadéquation des programmes de formation des enseignants avec ceux de l’école fondamentale. Au regard du contexte, le système scolaire doit développer des alternatives éducatives. Le programme AREN cible la formation et la gestion des enseignants pour contribuer à renforcer la qualité et la performance du système d’éducation du Mali et prépare les futurs enseignants pour faire face à la crise.
