By funding PARUA project, SDC has gained a strong understanding of the complexity of ethnic groups dynamics.

The SABA Water and Sanitation Experience: Boosting Impact at Global Scale

01.05.2012 - 31.08.2016

For one of the first time in its history, SDC can exert important leverage effects – with little funding – upon nation-wide and international scaling up operations in Peru. The Global Program Water Initiatives decided to support this new generation of projects to demonstrate how SDC can generate added value and influence the global debate. The Peruvian authorities want to capitalize on SDC 15-year experience in rural water and sanitation in rural areas for boosting full national coverage of such services. This initiative is a new generation of projets required to respond: to the water& sanitation MDG’s water related targets and to the human right to access to water & sanitation.

Improved living conditions for Roma in Slovakia

01.05.2012 - 30.06.2017

Integrating the Roma people into society presents a major challenge both to Slovakia and for the whole region. Currently, the Roma in Slovakia, who make up around 8.5% of the population in the eastern provinces of Kosice and Presov, are disadvantaged in comparison with the majority of the population. Typically, they live in badly constructed, dilapidated housing and rarely have access to education or healthcare services. The poor living conditions lead to long-term unemployment and high levels of poverty. An SDC project being conducted within the framework of the enlargement contribution is designed to improve their living standard.

Surveys of protected species in Vas, Zala and Somogy

01.05.2012 - 31.12.2016

When the Natura 2000 sites in the counties Vas, Zala and Somogy were designated, several species have not been surveyed at all or just incompletely. This project fills this gap by surveying 90 data-deficient species (amphibians, reptiles, bats, butterflies, dragonflies, xilophag insects). Based on this data, protection measures are proposed which will contribute to the conservation of the Natura 2000 sites.

Surveillance Environnementale au Sahel

01.05.2012 - 30.09.2017

Une production d'information environnementale de qualité est une aide à la décision pour les responsables politiques ou administratifs. La vulgarisation de ces informations permettra aux populations d'effectuer un lobbying afin d'assurer la prise en compte de ses intérêts. Des information pertinentes sur l'environnement biophysique et socioéconomique sont capitales et permettront de mettre en place des actions d'atténuation et d'adaptation au changement climatique bénéfiques pour les populations locales.
 

Accès à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement des communautés

01.05.2012 - 31.12.2015

Dans les régions de l’Est, du Nord et du Centre Ouest, le déficit en eau potable est important. Les populations parcourent près d'un kilomètre, plusieurs fois par jour, pour s’approvisionner en eau potable. En raison de la corvée quotidienne d'eau, l’absentéisme des filles à l’école reste fréquent. Ce projet répond à la politique Suisse de promotion du droit à l’eau potable pour les populations. De plus, il est en adéquation avec la Stratégie de Croissance Accélérer et de Développement Durable (SCADD).
