Swisscontact (Kredit Süd)

Les phénomènes globaux tels que migration, fragilité et gouvernance doivent être considérés de façon holistique. Dans notre monde globalisé les grandes tendances sont inter-reliées : consommation en augmentation, inégale utilisation et distribution des ressources, pression sur l’environnement, changement climatique, augmentation des disparités économiques, volatilité sociale, fragilité politique et chômage s’influencent réciproquement et sont causes de conflits, migrations et pauvreté.

Swisscontact soutient le développement économique, social et écologique en aidant la population dans leur intégration réussie dans la vie économique locale.

• Widespread improvements in livelihoods of youth/adults and businesses, measured in terms of increase of at least one asset dimension (income and employment).

Clarification of entrepreneurship promotion models and best practices will lead to an improved understanding and realization of entrepreneurship promotion activities on project implementation.
