Market Access for the Rural Poor – through Value Chain Promotion

01.05.2012 - 30.06.2016

12 million poor farming households, many from ethnic minorities, live in rural Vietnam. Their livelihood depends on agriculture, but their access to the market is restricted for reasons ranging from limited information to lack of services. Switzerland supports projects and organisations that strengthen linkages and cooperation along agricultural value chains in order to improve access of 10’000 rural households to the market and to create processing jobs. Income and employment so generated is expected to help the rural poor out of poverty.

The SDC supports a systematic migrant workers protection program with the aim to improve the situation of both men and women migrant workers in the Middle East.

The Carter Center: International Election Assessment for Presidential Elections and Constitutional Referendum 2012

01.05.2012 - 31.12.2012

The Carter Center (TCC) will carry out analytical work on the electoral process during the presidential elections in Egypt from May to June 2012 and during the constitutional referendum, planned for autumn 2012. TCC is accredited to witness the elections process although some limitations have been made to their ability to report during the proceedings. As TCC enjoys both the confidence of the transitional authorities and a broad acceptance in the Middle East, this provides an opportunity for a firsthand insight into the electoral process as well as a building block for future interventions of both SDC and DHS (former PD IV) in the field of democratization in Egypt. There is a consensus among donors to support the initiative and hence to address the issue with a coordinated approach. The project will cover: 1. The deployment of international election experts/observers to Egypt; 2. A qualitative and quantitative data collection on key aspects of the electoral processes including reports; 3. Recommendation to improve future electoral processes.

Raising SDC profile in global forestry & climate change

01.05.2012 - 31.12.2015

Wälder leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag sowohl zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel als auch im Hinblick auf eine “low carbon economy“ als kontrollierbares Instrument zur Kohlenstoffreduzierung. Das Globalprogramm Klimawandel misst daher den Wäldern eine grosse Bedeutung bei, sowohl auf globaler als auch regionaler Ebene, in Zusammenarbeit mit Asien (über ASEAN), Afrika und Lateinamerika. Mit dem vorliegenden Projekt wird die technische und operationelle Unterstützung in diesem Bereich weiter gewährleistet.

Initiatives des organisations paysannes pour la sécurité alimentaire,la gestion des ressources naturelles et la promotion des exploitations familiales

01.05.2012 - 31.05.2017

La productivité des exploitations agricoles au Mali reste faible. Pour l’augmenter et pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire des populations concernées, les organisations paysannes réalisent un appui technique aux exploitations agricoles familiales et introduisent des innovations appropriées. Elles renforcent aussi les capacités d’approvisionnement, de gestion de stocks, de transformation et de commercialisation des produits agro pastoraux. Ces activités se réalisent dans les régions de concentration de la DDC au Mali, à Sikasso, à Mopti et à Tombouctou.
