Climate resilience through risk The overall goal of the RES-RISK project will be to enhance climate resilience and promote adaptive capacities of the vulnerable through risk transfer options and solutions. The specific expected outcomes of the project will be (1) Vulnerable communities adopt risk transfer (insurance) products, as a part of comprehensive adaptation framework which also builds on disaster risk reduction, (2) Viable climate insurance products and models are up-scaled and mainstreamed into frameworks, policies and regulations of the Government, (3) Enhanced capacities and knowledge drive innovations in climate insurance products, by public and private sector institutions, thus meeting the demands of vulnerable communities. The project will draw from Swiss knowledge, expertise and experiences on financial instruments in risk transfer in addressing climate change. As the climate insurance solutions that are to be developed under the initiative will be generic in nature, the knowledge and insights gained could be adapted in other developing countries.

Rural Development In the last few years, Lao PDR has been going through a period of unprecedented growth and change, with massive “land-hungry” Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese investments. This is particularly evident in the Northern Uplands, the remote and mountainous focus region of SDC support in Lao PDR, which is plagued by high incidence of poverty (52% in the uplands as compared to 20% in the lowlands) and chronic child malnutrition. The proposed program builds upon existing experiences of each donor and scales them up in initially three out of the eight provinces of the Northern Uplands of Laos. The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the coordination of the implementation of the program, done in conjunction with other line Ministries. Switzerland, as a key player in both, rural livelihoods and local planning in Lao PDR, has influenced strongly the design of the program in particular through the lessons learned from its extension, value chain and local governance projects. A joint evaluation of the first phase of the program is planned in 2013.

As specialized legal expertise on property issues in Kosovo is lacking and a severe backlog of cases (+/- 250,000) in Kosovo municipal courts persists, KPA remains the only feasible instrument in Kosovo for en masse processing of private immovable - commercial and agricultural - property claims filed by persons displaced in the 1998-99 conflict.
Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) Financial inclusion is a thematic priority of the current and new ‘Botschaft’. Despite much pro-gress achieved, CGAP’s and SPTF’s missions are far from completion. Access of low-income people to insurance and long-term savings services require frontier markets to develop. There is also a long way until the Universal Standards for Social Performance Management (USSPM) are put into practice by financial institutions serving low-income people. They are essential to ensure that low-income people improve their livelihood as a result of using financial services.
Institutional Governance and Greater Financial Inclusion in microfinance Financial services can be delivered in the long term only with sound, healthy financial institutions.

Based on the experience of a SDC project in Central America on CG reforms and based on similar other relevant experiences and methodologies, FOMIN and SDC will promote CG reforms in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Switzerland brings to North Africa its internationally recognised expertise in security sector reform The uprisings in North Africa at the beginning of 2011 were directed to a considerable extent against the security forces on which the dictatorial regimes of Egypt, Libya and Tunisia have relied for decades.

Thanks to the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of the Armed Forces (DCAF) Switzerland is able to offer internationally recognised expertise in this area. Partner countries receive on request rapid, tailor-made support in carrying out security sector reform. Despite a number of similarities the challenges in Tunisia, Morocco, Libya and Egypt are quite different.
