Through its 2019-2021 support to the Crisis Bureau, Switzerland has contributed to:

• Support long-term development solutions in crisis-affected countries: e.g. economic opportunities for 20’000 returnees in East Niger
• Support national stakeholders on strengthening policies and mechanisms for conflict prevention and enhancing the inclusion of women and youth in peacebuilding and conflict prevention: e.g. integrating conflict prevention principles into the UN framework for the immediate socio-economic response to COVID-19 in Bangladesh
• Support over 40 crisis-affected contexts with UNDP’s integrator role on Rule of Law and Human Rights: e.g. three interrelated reforms initiated with UNDP’s technical support in South Sudan (constitution making process, transitional justice, judicial reforms)
• Materialise the nexus between peacebuilding, development cooperation and humanitarian aid: e.g. systematic joint programmes with UN peace missions in the area of rule of law. This bridge-building function also strengthens the ongoing UN reforms
