Hintergrund |
The international environment is characterised by numerous multiple crises. The consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the escalation in the Middle East, food insecurity, debt burden and inflation, climate change and the energy crisis are all having a direct impact on the world's population. They particularly affect the most vulnerable, mostly women and children and result in increasing humanitarian needs. Accelerated change is accompanied by increased uncertainty: The world is becoming more fragmented, unstable and unpredictable. Whilst the vision to reach the Sustainable Development Goals remains, challenges including the accelerating global food and nutrition crisis, shrinking civic and humanitarian space, the erosion of rule of law, intensifying armed conflicts, more frequent climate-related disasters, international migration and internal displacement, exacerbated demographics and an important gender gap hamper progress in reaching them and pose a main challenge for all actors engaged in Switzerland’s International Cooperation. PCF's focus lies in the realisation of boys' and girls' right to inclusive and equitable quality education. In the countries where PCF operates, yet a growing number of boys and girls are denied their right to education. While they have narrowed globally, in low-income countries gender gaps in schooling are huge. |
Ziele | Enhance inclusive and equitable quality education by promoting sustainable development for all girls and boys through a whole of school approach to Education for Sustainable Development. |
Resultate des Engagement der Organisation der vorangehenden Phase |
In 2023 with PCF’s support, the following results could be achieved: These achievements were made possible by drawing on local expertise, the respect of local priorities, close collaboration with and strengthening of local authorities and 33 partner organisations |
Resultate des Schweizer Engagement der vorangehenden Phase | PCF strengthened its focus on localisation, reflecting on its own mindset and identifying what new role PCF can adopt in a localised International Cooperation sector. PCF drafted its definition of localisation as a foundation for PCF’s localisation approach and a guiding principle for the new International Programme Strategy and the Partnership and Capacity Development Strategies 2025-2028. A needs assessment of all OPs helped to understand how PCF could strengthen the localisation approach and PCF’s Capacity Development Programme in the new strategy. PCF also shared good practices and challenges related to localisation with other NGOs in the Swiss NGO Platform and the SDC conference on localisation. |
