Protracted conflicts in the Horn of Africa, chronic food insecurity and limited access to basic services lead to millions of vulnerable people and forced displacement.

The deployment of Swiss experts (secondees) to Swiss (multilateral) partner organisations is a key tool to strengthen the capacity of these agencies to more effectively deliver services to the vulnerable men, women, and children and to enhance their protection.

VSF Switzerland - Livelihood Puntland Somalia
15.05.2014

Somalia continues to face food insecurity with more than 860'000 people in need of assistance. One of the identified reasons for this is the lack of adequate veterinary health service causing not only a decrease of available food for the local population but also hampering the high-potential livestock exports, preventing the country to develop. With this intervention along with its partner VSF, SDC aims to improve veterinary services in the semi-autonomous state of Puntland, thus improving the main livelihood of its inhabitants.

Building Regional and National capacities for improved Migration Governance in the IGAD Region
01.05.2014
- 31.05.2018
The Regional Migration Policy Framework, adopted in 2012, provides Member Governments of IGAD a good document to better govern migration and protect migrants within the Horn of Africa. However, their capacities to implement this strategy are limited. Switzerland will support IGAD to enhance their cooperation and coordination as well as build their capacities to address existing gaps of implementation. This will improve the wellbeing and protection of migrants in the region.
