Aguasan Programme Honduras

01.03.2013 - 30.06.2017

The population in rural areas and small towns of poor regions in Honduras still widely lacks sustainable water and sanitation services. The programme aims at improving living conditions of the population by providing water and sanitation infrastructure. State institutions at national and municipal levels will be strengthened. Community participation in the design, implementation and operation of the water infrastructure will be enhanced, thus contributing to the sustainability of service delivery.

Renforcement de l’élevage pastoral

01.03.2013 - 30.06.2018

L’élevage pastoral est l’activité économique dominante et le mode de vie principal des régions sahélo-sahariennes du Tchad. Il est un facteur essentiel de stabilité socioéconomique et de sécurité. Il est confronté à des difficultés croissantes, liées notamment au changement climatique. La DDC entend renforcer l’élevage pastoral dans trois régions au bénéfice direct de 700'000 personnes, par la réalisation de 100 puits pastoraux et 10 mares, le balisage de 500 km de couloirs de transhumance, et par le soutien aux services à l’élevage et aux organisations pastorales

Catastrophic Microinsurance in Central America

01.03.2013 - 31.03.2022

Central America is a natural disasters prone region where large vulnerable populations suffer over-proportionately from increasing frequency and impact of climate change events, as traditional disaster coping mechanisms are eroding with growing environmental pressures and rising urbanisation. The public-private development partnership with Swiss Re, FOMIN, and KfW’s Climate Adaptation Fund supports MiCRO in strengthening the disaster resilience of at least 80’000 vulnerable households by 30.9.2016.

Dam rehabilitation of the Reservoir of Rakaca

01.03.2013 - 30.11.2016

The dam stability of Rakaca reservoir is deficient at certain places. This problem is aggravated by a drainage system which is not well-functioning. The project partly renews the unstable part of the dam and rehabilitates the drainage system. This reduces the risk of a dam failure with related flood waves for the 5’200 inhabitants of down-stream settlements. Furthermore, supply of drinking water is ensured in the long run for 35’000 inhabitants of the region.

Strengthening of Evaluation Results at IDB and in Latin America (approval of the project by the IDB is pending)

01.03.2013 - 31.03.2016

The project will help strengthen the capacity of the independent office of evaluation of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and make a contribution to raising the evaluation capacity in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The project will contribute to better IDB evaluations and improved use of lessons learnt from evaluations to enhance the development effectiveness of programs of the IDB whose overarching goal is poverty reduction and sustainable development.

01.03.2013 - 28.02.2015

Flood-control reconstruction of Lázbérc

01.03.2013 - 20.03.2017

During the very intense precipitations of May 2010, important structural elements of the Lázbérc reservoir were damaged due to the high run-off. The project renews and rehabilitates the damaged parts of the dam, such as the spillway, surface and underground drainage systems and the downstream canal. Thanks to this, 2’650 inhabitants of down-stream settlements are less threatened by a dam failure.

Maggiore sicurezza alimentare in Ciad grazie a un settore delle sementi più stabile

01.03.2013 - 30.04.2018

In Ciad la coltivazione dei cereali è fondamentale non solo perché l’agricoltura è il principale motore economico del Paese, ma anche perché i cereali sono l’alimento di base della popolazione. Il progetto della DSC aiuta il Paese africano a creare un settore delle sementi affidabile in modo che nei mercati si possano trovare prodotti di buona qualità a prezzi accessibili.

Rural Markets

01.03.2013 - 30.06.2018

In Bolivia, small-scale rural producers have limited access to rural markets and services. The project, to be carried out by Swisscontact and Profin (foundation for financial innovation) and other partners, aims to increase the income of 12,000 production units (at least 40% women) in the Western region by linking them to markets and services, taking advantage of favorable policies and public-private investments.
