Delta intérieur du Niger Les appuis antérieurs apportés par la DDC dans la région ont contribué à l'amélioration de la gouvernance locale des collectivités et des organisations professionnelles, ainsi qu'à une meilleure inclusion dés groupes défavorisés. La nouvelle phase du programme a pour finalité de contribuer à la promotion d'espaces socio économiques par les collectivités et leurs formes de coopération dans les cercles de Youwarou et de Niafunké s'inscrivant dans une gouvernance participative, équitable et pacifique à l'échelle locale. Le programme entend suivre une démarche territoriale qui se base sur le développement de projets fédérateurs et favorise la promotion d'une politique d'inter collectivité. Une telle stratégie de développement local répond aux défis de la région en permettant de réaliser des projets d'envergure qui dépassent le champ et les capacités d'une seule collectivité (ex pont, débarcadère, chenaux d'irrigation). Les résultats attendus concourent d'une part à l'augmentation de la productivité agricole à travers la réalisation d'infrastructures et un appui aux organisations socioprofessionnelles de producteurs, y compris féminines et d'autre part à la gouvernance locale par l'inclusion et la responsabilisation des parties prenantes (collectivités, organisations socioprofessionnelles, chefferie traditionnelle, services techniques déconcentrés, populations locales).
Integral water and sanitation management for peacebuilding in rural areas ASIR-SABA Colombia Many countries transitioning to a higher economic status still struggle on the Water and Sanitation component. In such countries where water supply or sanitation have been installed aggregate outcomes tends to mask that the quality of services is poor, that inequalities are increasing and improvements in access do often not reach those groups who suffer most. New models of intervention and financing strategy are required for such countries where the majority of poor population is concentrated. Through this new initiative By finalizing a unique scaling-up process in Peru and replicating it in post conflicts areas of Colombia SDC will also enrich the global debate on the fulfillment of the SDGs and the gradual exercise of human right to water with a new model of intervention and financing strategy.
