En travaillant sur les zones transfrontalières, le programme vise un double objectif : faire de la décentralisation un accélérateur de l’intégration d’une part et d’autre part, s’appuyer sur les instances régionales pour renforcer les politiques nationales de décentralisation.

Costal Adaptation (CBACC) Afforestation The overall goal of the project is to promote climate-resilient development in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. The objective of the project is to reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities to the impact of climate-change inudced risks in four upazilas in coastal districts of Bangladesh. The impact logic of the project can be stated as follows: If coastal communities are aware of climate risks, have access to adapted and productive alternative livelihood systems, have established protective greenbelts, and are capable of effectively protecting and managing resources at local level, they will be better able to protect their livelihood and to resist climate challenges, coastal communities with more than 85’000 inhabitants will therefore be more productive, increase their income and reduce the risk of losses. Therefore, one of the key indicators to measure achievement of the project’s objectives is the number of households with sustainable livelihood strategies that directly contribute to the long-term maintenance and safeguarding of protecting natural systems in the four project areas. Project outcomes will include livelihood diversification of and higher income for more than 9’400 coastal households, increased carbon sink capacity of over 600’000 tons of carbon over project’s life, increased coastal protection through siltation along more than 25 km of coastline (4% of Bangladesh’s total coast line).

Election support The 2015 general elections are arguably Myanmar’s single most important step in its current historical political transition. They would be the first major democratic elections in the country in 50 years and will determine who will lead the country, its profound reforms and peace process at this crucial time. If sufficiently credible, transparent, inclusive and free of violence, they may lead to a scale up of intergovernmental support and direct foreign investment.

Programme d’Appui aux Processus Electoraux du Niger (PAPEN) A l'issu d'un coup d'état et d'une transition militaire, les élections présidentielles de 2011 marque le retour du Niger à la démocratie. Si les quatre dernières années ont permis de restaurer l'image des institutions républicaines, le processus démocratique demeure fragile, en raison du contexte socioéconomique, des fractures sociales et de la recrudescence du terrorisme aux frontières du Niger. Les élections présidentielles, législatives et communales de 2016 sont des étapes décisives pour consolider la paix et la démocratie.

Promotion of Interstate Water Management Cooperation on Transboundary Chui and Talas Rivers (Phase II) Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan have set up Interstate Commission for joint management of water resources in the basins of Chu river and of Talas river. However, a serious challenge for integrated water resources management remains to establish a data management system for which capacities are increasingly depleting. The proposed project will establish a monitoring system for both basins by upgrading the monitoring infrastructure generating real time data and capacities in both basins, thus supporting the Interstate Commission in decision making based on solid analysis and data.
Strengthening Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) in Central America through the establishment of the USAR Regional Academy More than 12 million people are living on the pacific coast of central America, an area that shows high levels of seismic hazards. Despite this fact, the countries of the region have failed to develop efficient structures for the search and rescue of affected people during a disaster. Some initiatives have been developed in previous years, on an individual basis, by some countries of the region. However, so far only Costa Rica has been able to consolidate and maintain a light-level USAR team. The other countries have so far reached different levels of development, but all of them on a lower level than Costa Rica. The Central American countries have however participated individually in important international USAR events, and most of them have sent USAR teams to Haiti, to help rescuing victims after the earthquake of January 2010. But they are working without common standards and without a proper regional coordination. For this reason, it is imperative that the region initiates a process to accelerate the establishment of a regional USAR long-term strategy. This strategy is intended to clearly serve as a guideline for the region, the countries, the concerned institutions and the donors. This project will improve the regional and national capacities in rapid response, mainly for those disasters linked to earthquakes. The project will also foster the development and implementation of the USAR regional strategy.
