Appui à la paix et à la stabilité en RDC par l’observation de proximité des scrutins du 23 décembre 2018
01.10.2018
- 31.03.2019
La RDC se prépare à des élections le 23 décembre 2018. Le gouvernement indique vouloir les financer seul. Le processus électoral, bien avancé, reste fortement contrôlé et peu transparent, créant la méfiance de la population. La société civile revendique des élections crédibles ; l’appui de la Suisse et d’autres bailleurs lui permet de s’organiser pour mener une observation citoyenne. La présence des observateurs contribue à rendre le processus électoral transparent.

Programme de Cantines Scolaires gouvernementales ( ProCaS)
01.10.2018
- 30.09.2022
Le scolarité primaire au Bénin est confrontée à une performance faible: les élèves apprennent peu et abandonnent massivement l’école. Une des causes tient à l’absence de repas pour les enfants. Les cantines scolaires contribuent ainsi à créer un environnement propice à l’apprentissage et au maintien à l’école. En 2017, le gouvernement du Bénin a initié le programme de cantines scolaires (ProCaS 2017-2021) qui vise 351'109 élèves dans 3'174 écoles primaires publiques sur l’ensemble du pays.

01.10.2018
- 31.05.2027

Blue Peace advocates for investments to be re-directed to two levels: transboundary entities and to municipalities. This will have a transformative impact. As a door opener, Switzerland through its partnership with UNCDF contributes to the development of innovative financial products that enable transboundary, multisectoral and transgenerational investments leading to sustainable development and peace.

01.10.2018
- 31.10.2023
Plant variety protection legislation in accordance with the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) is gaining importance in developing countries. This kind of legislation often neglects the existing informal seed systems and Farmers’ Rights. SDC supports APBREBES, a network of civil society organizations, to raise awareness and contribute to capacity building on alternative legislation that better reflect smallholders’ needs and practices.

Appui à la résilience de l’élevage pastoral en Afrique de l’Ouest
01.10.2018
- 30.04.2022
L’Afrique de l’Ouest connait une crise alimentaire qui touche environ 10 millions de personnes dont beaucoup d’éleveurs. Les plans de réponse des Etats et des institutions régionales ne mettent pas assez l’accent sur les éleveurs. Ce programme fournira une aide d’urgence à 174’240 éleveurs vulnérables de la région et améliorera les outils de distribution de l’aide dans les mécanismes régionaux et nationaux de gestion de crises alimentaire. Il réduira les conflits, en limitant les transhumances précoces.
