Support to Health transition
01.08.2022
- 30.09.2024
On average, about 2,000 migrants stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) for several months at a time on their way to the EU. Many of them have health problems and are in need of medical care. However, 95% of migrants are not entitled to get health care from BiH health providers and depend on donor-funded services. Switzerland supports the efforts of BiH authorities to integrate the health care provision for migrants adapted to their needs into the national health care system and thus to improve access to health for all.

01.08.2022
- 31.12.2025
The Climate Risks and Early Warning Systems Initiative (CREWS) supports Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States in creating necessary human capacities to generate and communicate climate and weather risks timely and effectively. This allows saving millions of lives and significantly reducing economic losses caused by natural disasters and a changing climate. The Swiss contribution supports CREWS as key mechanism to achieve the UN Early Warnings for All Initiative. The combined expertise of SDC and MeteoSwiss increases impact and sustainability of CREWS.
Research for action: Water, Behavior Change and Envi-ronmental Sanitation: Sustainable Solutions to Research, Knowledge and Professionalization (WABES)
01.08.2022
- 31.12.2026
Equitable access to safe water and sanitation facilities and services is by far not achieved and a stronger push on multiple levels will be necessary over the next decade to reach SDG 6. This includes developing and using innovative technologies, based on applied research, to foster affordable and sustainable solutions for increased access to safe water and adequate sanitation. To this aim, the SDC continues its fruitful collaboration with the Swiss Research Institute Eawag.
PHRASEA - Programme d’Hydraulique Rurale – Appui au Secteur Eau et Assainissement
01.08.2022
- 31.12.2027
Moins de la moitié des nigériens ont accès à l’eau potable et moins d’un tiers utilisent des services d’assainissement et d’hygiène de base. Les entités décentralisées, en charge de fournir le service public de l’eau et de l’assainissement, manquent de ressources. À travers PHRASEA, la Suisse les appuie à assumer leurs fonctions, ainsi améliorant les conditions de vie de la population. Cette troisième phase va consolider l’approche décentralisée et ancrer les bonnes pratiques au niveau national à travers le fonds hydraulique.
