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.

Oggetto 73 – 84 di 965

Covid-19 Rural Poor Stimulus Facility (single phase)

01.12.2020 - 31.12.2022

Established by The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Rural Poor Stimulus Facility (RPSF) addresses immediate impacts of the Covid 19 pandemic on rural people, prevents the erosion of results from past and ongoing operations, and puts in place building blocks to support post crisis recovery and long term resilience. As an IFAD member state, Switzerland joins international efforts with this time-bound response to prevent the health crisis from turning into a food crisis.


Hands4health Hand hygiene, water quality and sanitation in primary health care facilities and schools not connected to a functional water supply system

01.12.2020 - 31.12.2024

Current technologies and approaches to improve water, sanitation and hygiene are fragmented. Hands4health focuses on the development, testing, evaluation and scaling up of new water efficient hand washing technologies as well as on a holistic approach to hand hygiene, water quality and sanitation. To leave no one behind, the project works in primary health care facilities and schools not connected to a functional water supply system in in four target countries and beyond. 


Kulturförderung Süd/Ost

01.12.2020 - 31.12.2024

Die DEZA fördert den Zugang von Kulturschaffenden aus Asien, Afrika, Lateinamerika und Osteuropa zum Schweizer Kulturmarkt und internationalen beruflichen Netzwerken. Sie leistet einen finanziellen Beitrag an das Büro für Kulturkooperation „artlink“ für die Dokumentation, Information sowie die Vermitt-lung von Engagements von Künstler*innen aus dem Süden und Osten in der Schweiz. Zudem können Kulturveranstalter beim SüdKulturFonds Gesuche für Auftritte aus dem Süden und Osten einreichen. 


Innovations for efficient quality health systems

01.11.2020 - 31.12.2026

Despite enormous progress in access to healthcare in low and middle-income countries, nearly 9 million people still die every year in these countries because of poor quality of care. SDC supports the establishment of a global design lab for the development of innovative tools to enhance quality measurements that form the base for cost-effective investments into quality improvements. The lab will benefit from Swiss research knowhow.


Working for Health (W4H)

01.11.2020 - 31.10.2025

More health workers with the right skills are needed to achieve the SDGs, particularly in low income countries. Switzerland contributes to a joint WHO, ILO and OECD program providing catalytic support to governments, social partners and other key stakeholders to develop, finance and implement national health workforce strategies and investment plans. This will improve the supply and employment of health workers, maximise their performance, create decent jobs and accelerate progress towards UHC.   


Upgrading Karm Abu Salem Crossing - Gaza

01.10.2020 - 31.12.2022

Switzerland will support improving the export/import conditions of goods to and from the Gaza Strip.

The project, implemented by UNOPS, will upgrade the poor infrastructure at the Palestinian side of

the only functioning commercial crossing between Gaza and Israel. The existing infrastructure con-

ditions are causing around 10% of damages to the transiting commodities thus incurring substantial

economic losses that are affecting the living conditions of two million people in the Gaza Strip


Supporting Small-scale Dairy Production

01.10.2020 - 30.09.2024

This contribution aims at improving economic empowerment and resilience of women dairy producers in Abkhazia and Samegrelo. The protracted conflict in Abkhazia impedes socio-economic development, leading to high poverty and vulnerability to external shocks, as COVID-19. Women are particularly vulnerable, as they are also victims of gender-based discrimination and domestic violence. Farmer Field Schools will empower women by enhancing their technical and leadership skills.


International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), SDC Membership 2021-2024

01.10.2020 - 31.12.2023

International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) is a global initiative to improve transparency of development and humanitarian resources addressing poverty and crises. The IATI statistical data standard delivers information for donor and recipient countries to improve coordination, accountability and effectiveness of international cooperation to achieve the SDGs efficiently.

As a member of IATI, SDC will contribute to increase outreach of data to partner countries. 


Sustainable and Innovative Rural Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (SIRWASH)

01.10.2020 - 31.12.2024

The Sustainable and Innovative Rural Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (SIRWASH) initiative improves enabling policy, innovation and knowledge environments and fosters the required capacities to provide sustainable quality water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services to rural communities – in particular poor households and vulnerable people – in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Haiti and Peru. It builds on Switzerland’s over 20 years of experience in strengthening rural WASH systems in Peru and Colombia.


COVID-19 Therapeutics Accelerator

01.10.2020 - 30.09.2023

The COVID-19 pandemic affects people worldwide, also in low and middle-income countries where health systems are even less prepared to respond to health shocks. In order to save lives, reduce the need for hospitalization and hence to relieve health systems, safe and efficacious preventive and curative treatments are needed. Switzerland supports research and development of and access to COVID-19 treatments – an area where Swiss science and pharma are strongly engaged.


Governing Health Futures 2030 Youth Network

01.10.2020 - 30.06.2023

Stronger governance of digital technology, data and artificial intelligence is required to maximise the benefits – and mitigate the risks – of health in a digital age for the next generation. To date, young people’s needs and perspectives have been largely overlooked in the design, application and governance of digital health and data. Through this proposal, Switzerland will support greater youth involvement in governing health futures.


The Global Vaccine Alliance Gavi

01.10.2020 - 31.12.2025

People in low and lower- middle-income countries are particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic as they often rely on fragile health systems to fight it. Because of the pandemic, routine immunization campaigns have been stopped or massively scaled-down, which in turn will severely impact the health of millions in these countries. Switzerland supports the Geneva-based Vaccine Alliance Gavi to provide equitable access to vaccines, including a future COVID-19 vaccine.
