International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR): Phase VI of core contribution (2017-2020)

01.09.2017 - 31.12.2020

The International Centre for Asset Recovery (ICAR) is an independent not-for-profit competence centre in asset recovery with a mission of supporting affected developing countries to investigate and prosecute financial crimes with the ultimate goal of recovering stolen public assets. Due to the growing demand by developing coun¬tries for support in asset recovery cases and ICAR’s proven track record as a strategic partner to the Swiss Govern¬ment, SDC has funded ICAR since 2006 with a core contribution. ICAR is part of the Basel Institute on Governance.

IRQ Oxfam – Integrated WASH and Protection response to conflict affected communities in Diyala governorate

01.09.2017 - 28.02.2020

A majority of people living in rural northern Diyala do not have access to potable water which results in communities utilizing unsafe sources like rivers and irrigation channels. The lack of solid waste management systems further aggravates the poor health conditions within this area. This project aims at reducing water and sanitation related risks and increasing access to clean water for IDPs, returnees and host communities living in the districts of Kifri and Khanaqin. It also helps particularly vulnerable families access protection services.

Ayuda de emergencia en la región de los Kasais, en la República Democrática del Congo

01.09.2017 - 31.03.2018

El conflicto que asola la región de los Kasais desde agosto de 2016 se ha añadido a las múltiples crisis que existen en la República Democrática del Congo, ha provocado el desplazamiento de más de 1,4 millones de personas y ha sumido a 3 millones en situación de inseguridad alimentaria. La ayuda humanitaria de la COSUDE ha ampliado su acción a esta región donde la ayuda de emergencia sigue siendo casi inexistente. La intervención tiene como objetivo cubrir las necesidades básicas de las poblaciones afectadas.

Lifesaving Medical and Non-medical Supplies for the Health Sector in the Gaza Strip

01.09.2017 - 31.12.2017

In line with the Good Humanitarian Donorship (GHD) principles, Switzerland recognizes the necessity of predictable and flexible funding to respond to changing needs in humanitarian crises, including protracted ones. Through an emergency funding to the World Health Organisation (WHO), SDC allows WHO to provide protection and assistance to those who are mostly affected by the latest deterioration of the health situation in the Gaza Strip through direct provision of lifesaving medical and non-medical supplies for the health sector.

Programme Santé Burundi Phase Unique

01.09.2017 - 31.12.2019

Cette phase unique se concentre sur trois thèmes spécifiques (sécurité transfusionnelle, hépatites virales et système de référence) identifiés comme des niches prioritaires par nos partenaires. Ce projet est également une phase de transition entre le Programme Santé Grands Lacs, fini en mars 2017, et le nouveau Programme Santé Burundi 2018-2020. En répondant à des besoins spécifiques, la Suisse assure ainsi sa position dans le secteur de la santé au Burundi durant cette transition.

UNited For Youth Employment in Cambodia

01.09.2017 - 29.02.2020

Youth in Cambodia, in particular new entrants to the labour market, face critical challenges in accessing decent and productive employment opportunities. They have limited access to relevant skills, quality education, entrepreneurship training, information about markets and labour rights. With SDC’s contribution, the UN joint programme will support young women and men to access to (self-) employment opportunities and decent jobs.

01.09.2017 - 30.09.2020

TRUST - Transition redevable pour la société tunisienne

01.09.2017 - 30.06.2024

La Suisse veut mettre en valeur son expérience pour l’amélioration de la gouvernance des services publics tunisiens par le renforcement de la redevabilité. Elle agit principalement sur les instances publiques indépendantes (IPI) formellement en charge du système de redevabilité. Les IPI sont formées et mieux organisées pour augmenter la confiance entre citoyens et les institutions par des instruments de contrôle démocratique et le dialogue avec les trois pouvoirs et la société civile.  

Contribution to WHO Emergency Response for the Flooding and Mudslide Event in Freetown, Sierra Leone

30.08.2017 - 29.08.2018

On the night of 13 August 2017, the city of Freetown in Sierra Leone and its outskirts experienced torrential rains and landslides. At least 497 people were killed following the collapse of a hillside. 800 people are still missing and 3’000 were displaced. Given the low water quality and poor living conditions of the affected population, there is a serious risk of cholera outbreaks and diseases to spread. With SDC Humanitarian Aid’s (SDC HA) support, WHO will contribute to the detection, prevention and control of disease outbreaks in the aftermath of the mudslides and flooding.

Sierra Leone Landslide: Contribution to IFRC Emergency Appeal

23.08.2017 - 24.08.2018

On the night of 13 August 2017, the city of Freetown in Sierra Leone and its outskirts experienced torrential rains and landslides. At least 400 people were killed following the collapse of a hillside. 600 people are still missing and 3’000 were displaced.

Support to Portugal in fighting wildfires

19.08.2017 - 15.11.2017

Wildfires in Portugal this year have accounted for more than one third of the burnt forest in the entire 28-nation European Union. As national capacities are not sufficient to end successfully the blazes, Portugal requested international support, which is delivered by Marocco and EU states. August 18 Switzerland received and positively answered an official request from the Portuguese government.

Intervention en santé mentale et soutien psychosocial pour les migrants au Niger

15.08.2017 - 28.02.2019

2016 environ 200,000 migrants sont passés par le Niger sur l’axe Niger-Lybie/Algérie. Ces migrants sont souvent exposés à des violations graves des droits de l’homme et des traumas. Seule une petite proportion des migrants bénéficie d’une forme d’assistance couvrant les besoins essentiels (santé, abri, nourriture). Une réponse aux traumatismes subis est quasi inexistante. Par ce co-financement, la Suisse contribue donc au renforcement d’une réponse santé mentale/psychosociale ainsi que d’autres services de protection pour les migrants au Niger pour préserver leur bien-être et le potentiel de développement humain.
