IOM / Bentiu POC Improvement and Site Expansion

25.12.2014 - 30.06.2015

The Bentiu Protection of Civilian (PoC) site has flooded repeatedly throughout the rainy season in 2014, creating dangerous and unliveable conditions for the over 40,000 people seeking shelter there. As the PoC is expected to remain populated into next year’s – 2015 - rainy season, it is essential that every effort is made to improve the living conditions within the PoC. The city of Bentiu is situated on a front line, and thus particularly exposed.

Rehabilitation of Small Irrigation Schemes

16.12.2014 - 30.09.2019

The project aims at improving income, food and nutrition security of smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe. This will be done through the rehabilitation of small-scale irrigation schemes^[1] and linking them to viable markets. SDC will contribute to a programme developed and coordinated by FAO and the Government of Zimbabwe, and will focus its support to the Masvingo Province which lies in the dry and arid region of the country.

[1] For the purposes of this programme, small irrigation schemes are defined as communal schemes with irrigators having an average plot size of 0.5ha to 1.0 ha with a common water source and conveyance system and an area of 50 – 100 ha i.e. benefiting an average of 100 – 200 irrigators.

Gioventù proiettata verso il futuro: un migliore sistema di formazione professionale in Albania

Uno studente avvitando un pannello solare.

15.12.2014 - 31.12.2020

Uno dei principali problemi dell’Albania è l’elevato tasso di disoccupazione giovanile. Tra le cause vi è il fatto che le formazioni offerte non tengono sufficientemente conto delle qualificazioni professionali effettivamente richieste. Per contrastare questa situazione, la DSC aiuta a riformare il sistema di formazione professionale, ad adattare maggiormente l’insegnamento alla realtà professionale e, in tal modo, a venire incontro alle esigenze del settore privato.

Improving access to services for Syrian refugees living in Mersin Province

15.12.2014 - 14.09.2015

Since the beginning of the crisis, Turkish authorities, with the support of the international community, have been providing comprehensive assistance to Syrians living in the camps. Assistance to those outside has been less comprehensive and more ad hoc. While the government has extended temporary protection to all Syrians in Turkey, allowing them in principle to access public services, the overall number of refugees has stretched national structures and capacities to the utmost. The government has to limit itself to focus on immediate material humanitarian needs, and is largely unable, on its own, to address issues of continuing services, including psycho-social support and integration as the refugee crisis becomes protracted. Beginning October 2014 IOM has therefore embarked on a partnership with a local NGO, the Syria Social Gathering (SSG), to facilitate Syrian refugee's access to services in Mersin province, contributing to their self-reliance and integration in Turkey. The framework for this partnership is SSG's multi-service centre that provides education, vocational training, psychosocial, legal and primary health services to Syrian refugees. IOM's partnership with SSG will strengthen the sustainability of SSG's multi-service centre in Mersin. At present, there are no other local or international organizations providing assistance to the Syrians living in Mersin. So the sustainability of SSG's activities in Mersin is paramount for Syrians in this province to have access to basic services and protection.

Financing of two Advisors at EDO World Bank

15.12.2014 - 31.12.2018

The governance reform at the World Bank (WB) affects the distribution of votes between countries. As a consequence, Switzerland had to take measures to maintain its position and permanent seat at the WB. This intervention, aiming at financing two advisors for two years at the Swiss Executive Director Office, will allow maintaining, and possibly strengthening, the position and seat of Switzerland at the WB. Financing is done alternatively with SECO for a two years cycle (Board election).
