GER WASH Project – Sustainable Water, Sanitation and Hygiene services in a Ger area of Ulaanbaatar

01.07.2012 - 30.03.2015

More than 25% of Mongolia’s population lives in the ger districts of Ulaanbaatar, where access to drinking water is limited and the overall hygienic conditions are bad. The GER WASH Project of Action Contre la Faim will improve access to safe water, sanitation and the knowledge on proper hygiene practices for the population of the Songino Khairkhan district, by strengthening the local authorities, CBOs, as well as the public and private institutions at all levels, and working together with all of them on innovative solutions.

Non c’è sviluppo senza sicurezza

01.07.2012 - 30.04.2016

Criminalità e insicurezza rappresentano una sfida cruciale per la cooperazione allo sviluppo nell’America centrale. Particolarmente preoccupante è la situazione in Honduras, dove negli ultimi cinque anni il tasso di omicidi è raddoppiato fino a diventare il più elevato al mondo con 86 casi ogni 100 000 abitanti. Il frequente ricorso alla violenza non costa solo in termini di vite umane, ma mina anche lo sviluppo: in controtendenza all’America latina nel suo insieme, l’Honduras non fa registrare alcun progresso nella riduzione della povertà e la sua crescita economica è debole.

Water Integrity Network : core contribution and country-programs

01.07.2012 - 30.06.2015

Addressing integrity shortcomings and corruption in the water sector, this proposal will contribute to tackle a major challenge for meeting the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Discontinuity and poor quality of water services are to a great extent due to a lack of good governance. The Water Integrity Network is the lead organization addressing the issue of corruption in the water sector, at global and national level. With the addition of the country-programmes component in this second phase, this support aims to facilitate the constitution and empowerment of multi-stakeholders (international, regional, national and local; public and civil society sectors) coalitions for water integrity in at least 3 countries where Swiss development organisations are active.
