La Svizzera ha notevolmente incrementato il proprio sostegno alle regioni fragili e colpite da conflitti. Il messaggio concernente la cooperazione internazionale 2017-2020, approvato dal Parlamento, ha aumentato del 50% l’aiuto bilaterale accordato a questi Paesi.

Tali fondi sono stanziati per lottare contro le cause dei conflitti, per rafforzare la società civile, per incentivare il rispetto dei diritti umani e per promuovere una governance responsabile a livello nazionale e locale.

La DSC è attiva in numerosi Paesi e regioni interessati da conflitti, latenti o attivi, e colpiti in modo significativo da una o più dimensioni della fragilità, in particolare in Afghanistan, in Nord Africa, in Burundi, nel Corno d’Africa, ad Haiti, nel Mali, in Myanmar e in Nepal.

Nuovi percorsi per la cooperazione allo sviluppo

Nel 2015 gli Stati membri dell’ONU hanno adottato l’Agenda 2030 per uno sviluppo sostenibile. L’Obiettivo di sviluppo sostenibile n. 16 (OSS 16) stabilisce un legame diretto tra sviluppo sostenibile e società pacifiche e inclusive e istituzioni forti. Questo obiettivo definisce la pace come un soggetto legittimo dello sviluppo e concretizza così l’impegno preso a Busan nel 2011 a favore di un «new deal» per l’impegno negli Stati fragili.

Le considerazioni umanitarie, l’obiettivo di uno sviluppo sostenibile e il miglioramento della sicurezza mondiale sono altrettante ragioni che depongono a favore di un impegno particolare nei contesti fragili, nonostante i maggiori rischi che esso presenta. Questo impegno si colloca al crocevia delle grandi agende internazionali per il mantenimento della pace, per l’umanità o per i diritti umani. Tale impegno riconosce infine la necessità di adattare ogni intervento al proprio contesto, tenendo conto di tutta la sua complessità.

Lottare contro le fragilità consente di raggiungere le persone più a rischio di essere trascurare

Le comunità più a rischio sono quelle colpite da conflitti armati cronici e da altre forme di violenza, dal mancato accesso alla giustizia, da una corruzione dilagante, dal mancato rispetto dei diritti umani o da istituzioni non inclusive e che non si assumono le proprie responsabilità.

I Paesi caratterizzati da una situazione di fragilità sono quelli che hanno ottenuto i risultati meno soddisfacenti nel quadro degli Obiettivi di Sviluppo del Millennio (OSM) prima del 2015 e rischiano anche di essere trascurati nell’ambito della realizzazione degli Obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile (OSS) entro il 2030. Per tale ragione, lottare contro le varie forme di fragilità contribuisce direttamente a raggiungere le popolazioni trascurate e in particolare quelle più vulnerabili.

CLIMATE AND CLEAN AIR IN LATIN AMERICAN CITIES PLUS (CALAC+) PROGRAMME

01.03.2021 - 28.02.2023
