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).

20.02.2016 - 31.12.2018

La DSC ha consegnato dodici nuove ambulanze alla Mezzaluna Rossa Siriana Araba (SARC). Alla cerimonia di consegna avvenuta a Damasco ha presenziato anche una delegazione svizzera. Il sistema sanitario siriano necessita urgentemente di questo genere di veicoli per la cronica mancanza di ambulanze a causa delle devastazioni della guerra, degli attacchi contro gli ospedali e dell’ingente numero di vittime.

Agenda 2030 and SDG 16: Peaceful and Inclusive Societies – Time to Deliver

15.02.2016 - 31.07.2018

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.

01.02.2016 - 31.12.2020

In Nepal la violenza di genere è un problema molto diffuso, che ostacola uno sviluppo sostenibile. Per questo, a inizio 2016, la DSC e il Fondo delle Nazioni Unite per la popolazione (UNFPA) hanno lanciato un apposito progetto di azione e prevenzione spalmato su tre anni. Nell’ambito del progetto le donne e le ragazze vengono educate sui loro diritti e incoraggiate a nominare forme di violenza. Parallelamente uomini e ragazzi vengono motivati a cambiare atteggiamento nei confronti delle donne. Un ulteriore obiettivo è garantire un’assistenza più rapida ed efficace alle vittime. I primi cambiamenti sono incoraggianti.

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.

Secondment to UNICEF – Coordinator for the Child Protection Working Group (CPWG)/Rapid Response Team (RRT)

01.02.2016 - 31.01.2017

Building on a successful experience in the WASH sector, Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) are now established within all of the UNICEF led clusters. Team members are available for deployment to support coordination of Child Protection in Emergencies, including joint rapid assessments. The RRT provides ongoing remote support to field based coordination groups on demand, and RRT deployments are based on requests from the field which are reviewed by an interagency steering committee.
