The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) phased out its previous Pakistan Country Programme by end of 2011 and launched a new programme under the name of SDC Pakistan Hindukush Programme.
The geographic focus of the new programme lies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Province and in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) with the medium term goal to promote cross-border interventions and foster linkages with the Afghan side of the region. The main strategic objectives are
-
to contribute to improve the livelihoods and resilience of the people through increased access to resources, basic services, and economic opportunities and
-
to enhance human rights in particular for flood victims, IDPs and refugees as well as women and children.
The whole programme applies a gender and conflict sensitive approach and mainstreams Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) in the project designs.
More information on projects and partners will follow in the coming months.
As part of SDC, Swiss Humanitarian Aid has started - after the devastating floods in 2010 - various projects in the Reconstruction and Rehabilitation domain. |
