Biological Papaya Pest Control in West

01.11.2012 - 31.10.2017

Papaya and other fruit production represent an important source of income and part of the daily diet for millions of family farms across West and Central Africa. Different fruit species are threatened by the recent introduction of an exotic mealybug, which reduces fruit production by up to 90%. The project supports a biological pest control project of the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture to release a parasitic wasp, which is known to dramatically reduce mealybug infection rates, thus reducing harvest losses permanently.

Acceso duraturo a fonti energetiche ecocompatibili ed economiche (Energising Development)

01.11.2012 - 31.12.2017

Circa il 18% della popolazione mondiale non ha accesso a fonti energetiche, benché ciò sia essenziale ai fini dello sviluppo sostenibile e della riduzione della povertà. La DSC sostiene il programma Energising Development (EnDev) che ha l’obiettivo di garantire un accesso duraturo a fonti energetiche a 15 milioni di persone in Paesi in via di sviluppo entro il 2018.

L'acqua del Nilo, un tesoro da trattare con cura

01.11.2012 - 31.07.2017

La popolazione egiziana è in continuo aumento, mentre il volume dell'acqua portata dal Nilo è costante. Si rivela quindi indispensabile utilizzare l'acqua in modo economico. Ed è quello che incoraggia la DSC in dieci villaggi del Nord della provincia di Assuan, intervenendo sulle pratiche d'irrigazione. Il progetto migliora la produttività dei terreni e aumenta il reddito dei contadini interessati.

Wide spread Replication of Successful Post Harvest Technology in Latin America

01.11.2012 - 31.12.2018

With this project, SDC in partnership with private sector actors aims at increasing income and food security of 130’000 rural families in 5 Latin American countries. Selling post-production solutions for maize and beans to subsistence and low-income farmers will allow agribusiness companies to enter into new markets, while reducing postharvest losses and improving life conditions for small farmers. Replication of the business model will be supported by conducive policies and knowledge management.

Social Safety Net Transfer Modalities

01.11.2012 - 30.06.2014

Despite solid progress in poverty reduction, malnutrition (in particular of children) remains a serious challenge to public health and overall development in Bangladesh. The Social Safety Net Transfer Modalities project assesses which transfer modalities are most effective in reaching the ultra-poor and improving their nutrition status. The action-research project allows for evidence-based advocacy in poverty-nutrition issues and improved of social safety net programmes in Bangladesh and will inform respective policy development.

UNICEF: Rapid Response to Movements of Population (RRMP)

01.11.2012 - 31.03.2013

Continuing clashes between Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the March 23 Movement (M23) in North Kivu Province in eastern DRC is causing immense human suffering. Further military confrontations will have heavy consequences for civilians. Humanitarian agencies continue to provide aid in areas where they have access.

Good Urban Governance

01.11.2012 - 31.12.2015

Jointly funded by BMZ and SDC and implemented by GIZ, the Urban Governance project will support municipalities in SDC’s main geographic region of intervention. Participating municipalities will benefit from capacity building and targeted urban infrastructure based on citizens’ needs and cooperate in country-wide experience sharing platforms. This mutually beneficial cooperation will allow SDC to participate in GIZ’s broad experience in the field of urban development and validate its expertise in local governance processes in rural Bangladesh.

Economic Empowerment of the Poorest / SHIREE

01.11.2012 - 15.10.2016

The programme Economic Empowerment of the Poorest, funded by DFID since 2008, has the objective to lift 1 million people out of extreme poverty and support Bangladesh in its endeavour to attain the MDGs 1/2. It is implemented as a challenge fund, which sub-contracts local and international NGOs on a competitive basis to implement innovative poverty reduction projects. The aim of the present proposal is to partner with DFID and co-finance this successful programme for the remaining duration of the first phase until 2015.

Regional Economic Development in Macedonia (RED) – Contribution to GiZ Programme

01.11.2012 - 31.12.2014

The level of development of Macedonia’s 8 regions is highly dispersed. A national system for balanced regional development was built up since 2005 with the support of the German Government (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH); however, it is still facing challenges in ensuring adequate implementation. SDC will co-finance this final project phase in order to contribute to the improvement of governance and policy coordination on regional level.

ProCAP - Vocational Skills Development Program

01.11.2012 - 31.12.2015

Vocational skills development is key to poverty reduction in Bolivia. Since 2006, Switzerland is working in this area with important effects in training quality and amplification of coverage in rural areas. This credit is proposed to further broaden coverage (reaching marginal urban populations of 4’200 men and women) and foster sustainability by strengthening training for technical instructors (650 trained teachers with quality).

Rural microinsurance

01.11.2012 - 31.10.2020

Micro insurance is recognised as a useful tool for poverty reduction. However, costs for developing micro insurance products are too high for the private sector to assume them alone. SDC will share this risk with the PROFIN Foundation , who will validate the technical, legal and financial feasibility of commercialising agricultural micro insurances in Bolivia. With two pilots, this initiative will reach more than 1000 vulnerable men and women, who do not have access to adequate risk-management tools.
