Introduction
Swiss bilateral engagement with the Central Asian countries Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan dates back to early 1990s. Since independence, those countries are undergoing a continuous pro-cess of political, social and economic transformation. Considerable challenges still exist: creating sustain-able and inclusive economic growth, building plu-ralistic societies, providing health and other public services to all citizens and managing water resources among the riparian states. The Swiss Cooperation Strategy for Central Asia 2017-2021 was developed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Coopera-tion (SDC) and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) in close consultation with partners in the three countries – both official and from the civil society. It is a renewed commitment for the ongo-ing Swiss support for the political, social and eco-nomic transition process in the Central Asian region. Switzerland has also been collaborating with central Asian countries at the multilateral level, representing Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmeni-stan, and Uzbekistan in the Executive Boards at the World Bank Group (WBG), as well as Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in the Executive Board the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
In line with the Dispatch from the Federal Council on International Cooperation 2017-2020, the Swiss Cooperation Strategy for Central Asia 2017-2021 re-affirms the Swiss government’s continued commit-ment to the region’s stability and growth by building on the results achieved through the implementation of the former Cooperation Strategy. The present strategy focuses on four domains: 1 Water, infra-structure and climate change; 2) Governance, institu-tions and decentralisation; 3) Employment and eco-nomic development; 4) Health. Swiss Cooperation supports the countries to implement their national development strategies in cooperation with other
donors, engages in policy dialogue with government authorities and supports projects at local, national and regional levels.
The Cooperation Strategy at hand first provides a short overview of the regional, political and econom-ic context, followed by an outline of the Swiss foreign policy objectives in Central Asia. Subsequently, this Cooperation Strategy outlines the results achieved and draws on lessons learnt from previous activities. Based on the outlined results, an overview of strate-gic orientations and priorities for the next four years will be given for the different domains of action.
The last part outlines the implementation, manage-ment and steering modalities of the Cooperation Strategy. Risk management remains a key for the suc-cess of the programmes. Governance, conflict sensi-tive programme management, social inclusiveness and gender aspects will be given further priority. Monitoring and a solid Results Based Management (RBM) system supported by external evaluations will assess achievements of goals and sustainability of development impacts in order to adapt to chang-ing environments, to monitor the progress of pro-grammes, to be accountable for the set of objectives and to capitalise on experiences.
Close collaboration of SDC and SECO with national and international partner institutions in implement-ing these programmes will assert a successful reali-sation of the Cooperation Strategy. Identifying and harnessing synergies and complementarities among Swiss Cooperation stakeholders are vital to ensure coherence, visibility and impact. We are confident to contribute to Central Asia’s future development in an effective and targeted manner. effective and targeted manner.

Executive Summary
able and accessible to all groups of the population, especially the most vulnerable, in order to promote inclusion and reduce social and political marginalisa-tion. Those services must also take into account the specific needs and constraints of women. The issue of corruption will be addressed systematically.
In the realm of employment and economic develop-ment (SDG 8), Swiss cooperation will support the further development of the private sector. These actions are aligned with national economic pri-orities and related challenges and will enhance the competitiveness of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). It will also promote economic diversification in order to create decent jobs and to support inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Access to quality and affordable health services is not only a basic human right but also contributes to economic growth. Swiss cooperation will pursue its support to health sector reforms in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. An increasing focus will be placed on con-tributing to systemic changes, improving governance and ensuring that the system responds to the high demand for quality, efficient, accessible and afford-able healthcare services.
Gender and good governance will be mainstreamed throughout the programme. A conflict sensitive ap-proach will be used to ensure the principle of do no harm and to avoid enhancing existing or potential tensions between stakeholders.
The steering and monitoring of the Swiss funded pro-jects will involve public authorities and beneficiaries. The Swiss representations in the region are respon-sible for the implementation of the Central Asian Strategy 2017-2021. The coordination between SDC and SECO allows for the identification of synergies and complementarities between projects. Annual reports are the main component of the RBM system and informs on achievement of cooperation strategy objectives. The monitoring is completed whenever deemed necessary with internal and external evalu-ations involving relevant stakeholders. They will be carried out to measure progress and achievements at project level.
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan – Central Asian countries in which the Swiss International Coopera-tion is active – are at different stages of political and economic development. Though with noticeable dif-ference from a country to another, political power re-mains highly concentrated on the national level. The same applies to economies which are insufficiently diversified to adapt to external shocks but also to absorb the huge number of young people entering the labour market. One consequence is a high mi-gration of the workforce, which is therefore highly dependent on the economic situation in Russia and Kazakhstan.
These three countries, despite noticeable improve-ments, still aim to increase their efforts to improve both quantitative and qualitative delivery of basic public services such as education, health, sanitation and water to their respective populations.
The overall goal of the Swiss Cooperation strategy in Central Asia aims to have responsive and inclusive institutions as well as peace and social cohesion. This conducive environment will improve people’s well-being. It is aligned with the Sustainable Develop-ment Goals (SDGs). More specifically, Swiss coopera-tion will support partner countries to achieve SDG 3 (good health and well-being), 6 (clean water and sanitation), 8 (decent work and economic growth) and 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions).
At the regional level, the Swiss approach aims to bring countries together in a spirit of solidarity to tackle water, energy and food-related challenges. Further, Switzerland will work with Government stakeholders to improve the provision of reliable and efficient public services, including safe drinking wa-ter, sanitation and solid waste management, in the respective country contexts. DRR will be an impor-tant dimension of the water and infrastructure pro-gramme.
The governance domain will pursue the promotion of initiatives to increase space for inclusive public participation in reform and decision-making pro-cesses. Swiss action will support institutions at all levels, to become accountable, efficient and effec-tive in basic service delivery. The latter must be avail-

1. Regional Context Central Asia
Central Asia is composed of five countries: Kazakh-stan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uz-bekistan. As former Soviet republics, these countries face similar challenges – such as limited basic service delivery, insufficient economic diversification and job creation, low citizen’s participation in decision mak-ing and weak accountability of public institutions. In terms of economic development, political organisa-tion, environmental or security situation, Central Asia remains a heterogeneous region.
In 1992, several central Asian countries – the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan as well as Kazakhstan – joined the Swiss-led con-stituencies at the World Bank Group, the IMF, as well as the EBRD. Swiss cooperation – through the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) – began to work in the region in 1994. Strong relations between Central Asian countries and Switzerland have been built. The aim of Swiss Cooperation was to support the transition from a planned economy towards a social market economy within a demo-cratic society. This transition process has been longer and more complex than anticipated. Despite signifi-cant progress, reforms still need to be supported by the international community.
Geopolitical situation
The present power balance in the region is mainly shaped by Russia and China. Despite its economic slow-down, which affected its capacities to invest in Central Asia, Russia remains a major player in par-ticular as regards to the security, political and eco-nomic agenda. Russia has reinforced its military pres-ence in the region and advocates for the expansion of the Eurasian Economic Union1 (EEU).
The “One Belt one Road” (OBOR, Silk Road) initiative of China, which among others seeks to develop a new corridor for export to Europe, could also open new opportunities for the region.
Despite the decision of withdrawing the Internation-al Security Assistance Force (ISAF) from Afghanistan, the United States remain an important geo-political actor in the region. The roles of Turkey and the Eu-ropean Union in the region are relatively modest while some Gulf countries are increasingly investing in Central Asia, including in building mosques and religious schools.
Security situation
Security issues and drug trafficking are shared con-cerns in the region, including with regard to Af-ghanistan: the country’s evolution is being closely observed by the governments of the region who are afraid of spill over of conflict. Religious radicalism is also considered a threat and governments generally address it through security measures.
Russia and China share the same security concerns. Both countries are members of the Shanghai Coop-eration Organisation (SCO), whereas only Russia be-longs to the Collective Security Treaty Organisation2 (CSTO). These two organisations intend to address, among others, issues related to arms and drug traf-ficking as well as terrorism.
Political situation
Though the situation differs from country to country, the general situation in Central Asia is characterized by strong centralised governments, which virtually control most sectors of public and economic life.

Apart from accessing global markets, the embargo of Western countries allowed an increased access to Russian markets. Accessing Chinese markets and attracting Chinese investment have created high hopes.
Understanding the up- and downsides of this poten-tial will be key for realising the opportunities.
Social situation
Poverty and inequalities in the region and within the countries remain of major concern. Economic and social inclusion, including women’s rights, need to be improved in order to achieve the Agenda 2030.
Central Asian countries face steady demographic growth and have relatively young populations.4 Every year, hundreds of thousands of people enter the underdeveloped national labour markets. If un-employed youth represents a destabilising factor, younger generations also present new potentials: being more open to changes and knowledgeable of new technologies, younger generations have a great-er potential to adapt and seize employment oppor-tunities or create businesses. Migrants, mostly young men, returning from Russia represent a new chal-lenge for their home countries (e.g. social burden, risks of marginalisation, gender issues i.e. changes of the respective roles of women and men). Internal migration from rural to urban areas represents an additional difficulty in terms of service provision in urban areas, availability of infrastructures, protection of the environment and air pollution. It is also a risk of further marginalisation of rural areas.
Public sector reforms have progressed steadily. How-ever, the provision of basic services (such as health, education, sanitation and water) by state institutions is not yet sufficient in terms of quality and quantity. In addition, socio-political exclusion of various seg-ments of society coupled with a high level of poverty and a lack of economic perspectives for the youth bears the risk to increase the influence of conserva-
There is still limited citizen participation in decision making. Increased tensions and lack of trust in state institutions result from weak transparency and low accountability.
The limited dialogue between the state and civil so-ciety hampers the development of civic engagement and the effectiveness of reforms. According to Trans-parency International (2016)3, corruption remains widespread in the region with little improvement in the corruption perception indexes.
The renewal of the political elite in Central Asia, though being very slow, can provide for new pros-pect for the region. For instance, the president of Uzbekistan (elected in 2016) opened a new era of collaboration with neighbouring states and made significant progress in solving highly sensitive prob-lems such as border delimitations with Kyrgyzstan or sharing of water resources.
In Central Asia, Tajikistan is the only country which has experienced a civil war (1992-1997). The popula-tion has not fully recovered from this traumatic ex-perience. Kyrgyzstan experienced political and inter-ethnic clashes in 2005 and in 2010. The situation has stabilised but trust between communities remains limited.
Economic situation
The Kyrgyz and Tajik economies are extremely vul-nerable to external shocks and highly dependent on remittances from migrants working in Russia and Ka-zakhstan. Mid-2015, Kyrgyzstan joined the EEU with expectations of favourable economic opportunities in the medium term. Since its accession to the WTO in 2013, Tajikistan is successfully advancing its inter-national trade policy negotiations. Uzbekistan has an economy which remains highly dependent on com-modity prices (gas, oil and cotton); the fall of hydro-carbon prices has impacted the national budget and limited public investment. Increased access to mar-kets is high on the agenda.

tive and radical ideologies. This trend was observed during the last years, resulting in loss opportunities in particular for girls or young women (limited access to education, early marriage, domestic violence, lack of social protection).
Environment / Water and infrastructure
Infrastructure in general (e.g. water, sanitation, en-ergy, central heating and solid waste) suffers from prolonged underinvestment as well as deficiencies in terms of management and regulatory environment. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) principles are not consistently applied in the region: fixed quotas are allocated to every country, notwith-standing changes of water availability due to climate change, population growth and higher demand from agriculture, power generation and industry. National interests prevail and the competition over
scarce water resources leads to tensions hampering the socio-economic integration of the region. The re-gional water/energy nexus carries potential for con-flicts which is increased by climate change. Regional organisations have not yet been able to create a fa-vourable environment leading to a joint and dynamic management of regional river basins. Presently, the renewed relationship between country leaders pre-sents opportunities for cooperation and support by international partners (development banks, bilateral donors).
Central Asia is seriously affected by climate change (erratic precipitation patterns, melting of glaciers, natural hazards, etc.). The region is prone to frequent seismic activity with potentially disastrous conse-quences for the population, the private sector and basic infrastructures.

Cooperation with Central Asia is an integral compo-nent of Swiss foreign policy and foreign economic policy and is based on the Federal Law on Coopera-tion with Eastern Europe. Through its transition assis-tance, Switzerland promotes the rule of law, democ-racy and a social market economy, and strengthens civil society. In doing so, Switzerland helps to restore stability to politically volatile regions and improves the opportunities available to the people who live there.
In addition, Switzerland intends to address the nexus of peace, development and human rights. A virtuous circle of good governance, rule of law and inclusive economic development is necessary to enable coun-tries to respond to their populations’ legitimate aspi-rations for a better life. The report “States of Fragility 2016 (OECD)” provides a further rationale for coop-eration. It characterises fragility as the combination of exposure to risks and insufficient coping capacity of the state system and/or communities to manage, absorb or mitigate those risks.
The issue of water & security is high on Switzerland’s foreign policy agenda: equitable water access is considered as a promoter of peace. The Swiss hy-dro-diplomacy approach is aligned with the Federal Dispatch on International Cooperation 2017-2020 as well as with the Federal Department of Foreign Af-fairs (FDFA), Lines of Action on Water and Security.
In Central Asia, thanks to its long-standing coop-eration in water management, Switzerland has been able to position itself as a key and credible actor. Switzerland will therefore pursue its water diplo-macy agenda built on its reputation, expertise and network.
Switzerland’s bilateral cooperation in Kyrgyzstan, Ta-jikistan and Uzbekistan aims to foster the transition towards democracy, respect for human rights and in-clusive growth. This support contributes to enhanc-ing peace and security as well as social, economic and political inclusiveness. A conducive business en-vironment, a well-regulated financial sector, further development of market systems as well as access to capital contribute to this goal.
2. Swiss Foreign Policy Objectives for the Region and Other Donors’ Strategy
The new Federal Dispatch to Parliament 2017-2020 highlights the importance of maintaining good rela-tions with Central Asian countries, to support their development and, ultimately, to foster sustainable development and peace in the region.
Swiss cooperation works with several international development actors in Central Asia:
1. The World Bank Group (WBG), the Interna-tional Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB) support states on macro-economic issues, cli-mate change, private sector development and financing of large infrastructure projects. Swit-zerland supports these efforts by co-financing selected projects and by participating actively in the Board of Directors of these institutions.
2. The United Nations system which is exten-sively represented (UNDP, UNICEF, UN Women, FAO, WFP, WHO, etc.) and has important pro-grammes in democratic governance, food secu-rity, education, health, justice, water and disas-ter risk reduction (DRR).
3. Alongside Switzerland, many countries are active in bilateral cooperation: Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Rus-sia, China, Japan, Korea, Turkey, France, Finland and the European Union. These donors imple-ment socio-economic development and security cooperation programmes. Swiss cooperation will continue to work in partnership with like-minded bilateral donors.

3. Results of the Swiss Cooperation Strategy for Central Asia 2012–2016
the World Bank and co-funded by Switzerland5, ad-dresses water management issues and the water-en-ergy nexus at regional and national level; the second Swiss initiative on hydro-diplomacy which led to the regional high-level conference on water resources management in Basel in 2014 which was an impor-tant milestone for enhanced dialogue among coun-tries in the region. Both initiatives have also contrib-uted to strengthen internal countries’ capacities for an efficient, effective and sustainable management of their water resources. In Tajikistan and in cross-border areas between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan (e.g. Fergana Valley), the Swiss programme contrib-uted to improve protection of the population against natural hazards. Swiss engagement also successfully promoted compatibility of national systems.
The evaluation of the results of the Regional Coop-eration Strategy 2012-2016 confirmed the relevance of the Swiss cooperation programmes and of the re-gional approach and underlined the achievement of significant results.

The Swiss engagement allowed for a standardisation of data exchange and information systems on riv-ers shared by Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Initiatives aiming at enhancing regional cooperation in order to establishing joint management of the regional water resources have started. A first initiative, initiated by

Public sector reforms and infrastructureAt the national level, Swiss support enabled signifi-cant progress as regards public finance management (PFM) reforms, paying the way for increased trans-parency and efficiency in using public resources. Banking supervision was improved and the financial sector strengthened. The Swiss engagement in lo-cal governance increased the participation of citi-zens (including a substantial number of women) in budgetary processes, resulting in an improved level of satisfaction towards local governments. The mod-el developed with the support of Switzerland was mainstreamed in national policies. Regarding infra-structure, municipalities supported by Switzerland reported increased connection rates for safe drink-ing water and improved performance of the water utilities.
Private sector development and trade promotionSwiss action focused on the simplification of the regulatory framework, thereby relieving adminis-trative burdens in taxation and SME inspections. These reforms significantly reduced the cost of doing business for Kyrgyz SMEs. Access to business advi-sory services and to finance allowed companies to develop their commercial competencies, sustain or expand domestic employment and increase their an-nual turnover. Swiss engagement also enabled local textile and clothing exporters to sustain their export volumes by becoming more resilient to external fac-tors. An increased focus was recently put on foster-ing local economic development and creating busi-ness and employment opportunities in rural areas.
HealthThe Sector Wide Approach applied by the Joint Fi-nanciers (Switzerland through SDC, World Bank, KfW) to support the implementation of the national health sector strategy resulted in increasing Kyrgyz state funding for health. Over the years, joint efforts have contributed to reducing under-five mortality by 2/3, thus allowing Kyrgyzstan to meet MDG4 target. The quality of care at hospitals countrywide has con-siderably improved. The new medical education cur-ricula for family doctors and nurses helped to address the issues of shortage and ageing human resources at the primary healthcare level. The awareness of the population concerning the main risks related to com-municable and non-communicable diseases has in-creased. Finally, health facilities have improved their performance and efficiency through a financial de-centralisation process. These systemic changes and the inclusion of governance and gender principles will improve the sustainability of the reforms.

3.3 Tajikistan
Urban and rural drinking water and sanitation From 2012 to 2016 close to five hundred thousand people - out of a population of eight million - gained access to safe and affordable drinking water in rural and urban areas. The performance of water utilities has improved: for instance, the collection rate of water tariffs has increased. Tariffs have also been raised, but are still too low to ensure full cost recov-ery of the water and sanitation system. Though ac-cess to water is equitable, women’s presence at the management level of the water user associations still needs to be improved. The government’s approval of the National Water Sector Reform Programme in 2015 laid the basis for the adaptation of the legal framework and institutional set-up reflecting a river-basin approach.
Rule of lawIn project areas, over 13’000 individuals (72% women) used the free legal services and services for victims of domestic violence, whereas this was not possible before for poor people. Most of those poor persons could then claim various benefits (e.g. child allowance, pensions, property rights in divorce proceedings, enrolment of children in school). The reform is led by the Ministry of Justice increases the sustainability of the system changes. Thanks to Swiss support, Tajikistan now has a Supreme Audit Institu-tion responsible for the external oversight of state expenditures. The institution also became a member of the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions.
Private sector development and trade promotionSwitzerland’s activities helped to ease tax pressure on SMEs, to reduce financial fragility and over-in-debtedness by launching the credit bureau, which is now fully operational and high in demand. Further action helped to sustain domestic employment via enhanced accesses to finance and new export mar-kets. The support to the latter allowed employment to be maintained in the textile sector. Most of the jobs saved were occupied by female employees. The tax reform reduced the cost of doing business in Ta-jikistan for all corporation taxpayers and limited cor-ruption at this level. Swiss support also enabled Ta-jikistan to become a member of the WTO and to get access to the European Union’s Generalised Scheme of Preferences.
HealthSwiss investments gave 2.2 million people access to high-quality primary healthcare services. Strength-ened capacities of community health providers resulted in positive behavioural changes among mothers which contributed to a reduction in child mortality. Child morbidity and mortality were also reduced thanks to the access to safe drinking water and sanitation (reduction in waterborne communi-cable diseases such as typhoid and hepatitis). Wom-en and girls could dedicate more time to livelihood and education activities. The reform of the medical education system has been supported as from the beginning by Switzerland with the introduction of a post-graduate specialisation in family medicine and a continuing medical education programme for family doctors and nurses.

3.4 Uzbekistan
The government adopted a water sector decree initi-ating the regionalisation of water management bod-ies and setting a roadmap for the reform. Switzerland through the SECO provided targeted regulatory sup-port to the authorities in the elaboration of this de-cree. Projects implemented in the past 10 years have been supporting increased water productivity at plot level, and better management of the irrigation water at the community and farm levels. The participation of women in the managing structures of water con-sumers’ associations has only slightly improved. The priorities of the state programme on land reclama-tion and rational use of water were directly derived from the projects’ recommendations (water measur-ing and saving techniques, capacity building). In par-allel, support to the national reform of the vocational education and training sector helped develop a set of new professional profiles, providing associated learning material and training. Their performance in the labour market will be evaluated at a later stage (e.g. relevance of the training received).
3.5 Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
The region is prone to natural disasters. Swiss Hu-manitarian Aid intervened several times after floods, mudslides and earthquakes. Thanks to its quick re-sponse capacity, SDC was often the first aid agency supporting emergency intervention. Natural disasters showed the necessity of enhancing DRR integration into project designs and in development strategies and plans at local and national levels. Capacity build-ing, institutional development and policy adaptions remained high on the agenda. This prepares the ground for the shift from emergency-response ori-ented actions to a systemic development approach involving all relevant ministries, departments and agencies.
3.6 Regional arts and culture
The regional arts and culture programme has sup-ported annually more than 2’000 professionals. Over 40’000 people had access to these artistic produc-tions. A serious and deepening commitment to co-operate across differences, to honour cultural diver-sity and showcase shared values was demonstrated across the region, and among partners and civil so-ciety.

4. Implications for the Swiss Cooperation Strategy – Central Asia 2017–2021
The significant water deficit will increase difficul-ties for the economy and might provoke a decline in gross domestic product (GDP). According to the World Bank’s study “High and Dry”, these effects can be mitigated if adequate regional policies are implemented. Investments in new technologies for expanding water supplies and using water more ef-ficiently will be vital but this is only feasible with a regional political consensus. Switzerland will support countries in this endeavour through a regional/trans-boundary approach as well as through actions at na-tional and local levels.
The hydro-diplomacy approach is part of the Swiss response to regional challenges. It aims to use water as an instrument for cooperation and peace. At the global level, the Swiss initiative contributes directly to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular the water and sanitation goals.
Swiss diplomatic efforts building on previous efforts in strengthening regional water management and the Basel initiative will aim to enhance confidence among countries and will be coupled with opera-tional activities in other related areas, e.g. trans-boundary cooperation. Switzerland will work with regional organisations to advance water issues but also use regional and international forums, such as scientific conferences or international platforms, to advocate for regional Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). It is expected that supporting compatible national systems will eventually lead to shared management of the regional water resources. Switzerland will promote IWRM while focusing on three of the entry points identified in Basel, namely 1) sharing of hydrometeorology data, 2) adoption of common water quality standards and 3) joint man-agement of water infrastructure and joint investment in the latter.
The Swiss programme will support political reform processes improving countries’ resilience to external shocks but also increasing social cohesion and politi-cal participation. Switzerland will continue working on issues related to access to key social and eco-nomic services (e.g. water, sanitation and health) and supports initiatives to improve transparency and per-formance of state institutions, enhance checks and balances and combat corruption.
Swiss support to reform processes will always con-sider specific needs of women and aim at improving their well-being and socio-political representation.
The Eurasian Economic Union and the Chinese Silk Road Economic Belt Initiative (also known as the “One Belt One Road” OBOR initiative) represent development potentials for the region. The conse-quences of these important initiatives and the role of other regional organisations (e.g. ADB, AIIB) will be closely monitored to identify opportunities for part-ner countries and synergies with existing Swiss-fund-ed projects. Swiss Cooperation will maintain its part-nerships with multilateral organisations (e.g., World Bank Group, IMF, EBRD ADB and AIIB) as they have large investment capacities, expertise in the Swiss priority areas and the potential to leverage Swiss best practices. Additionally, in a context where countries remain extremely dependent on remittances and rely on poorly diversified economies, Switzerland will continue to engage with international financial insti-tutions to find ways to tackle youth unemployment and to develop economic prospects.
Switzerland represents the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajik-istan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan in the Executive Boards at the World Bank and at the IMF, as well as Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in the Executive Board at the EBRD. Switzerland will contin-ue to ensure that their development needs are taken into account by the respective institution.
In the short term, no noticeable degradation of con-text is expected within the countries or the region. The Swiss representations in Central Asia will there-fore work according to the “status quo” scenario (see annex 4). However, they will remain flexible to adapt to changes in their environment or the imple-mentation of the projects.

5.1 Overall goal
In Central Asia, peace and social cohesion as well as responsive and inclusive institutions and sustainable development improve the pop-ulation’s well-being.
Switzerland’s overall goal is aligned with the Sustain-able Development Goals (SDGs):Worthwhile mentioning is SDG 16 to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable de-velopment, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. Effective and responsive institutions deliver-ing high-quality basic public services – in particular health, clean water and sanitation, financial and business related services – will improve the well-be-ing of people and support sustainable economic de-velopment (SDGs 3, 6, 8). This would also contribute to prevent conflicts and the spread of conservative and radical values.
5.2 Water, infrastructure andclimate change (SDG 6, 7 and 13)
Central Asian states provide the necessary framework to allow joint and equitable man-agement of regional river basins. At national level, households, agriculture and other eco-nomic sectors have equitable access to and use well-managed water resources, high-quality infrastructure and public services.
The Swiss hydro-diplomacy initiative aims to bring countries together in a spirit of solidarity to tackle water, energy and food-related challenges. The ob-jective is to improve trust and a fair balance of inter-ests by building a sense of common responsibility. The application of Integrated Water Resources Man-agement (IWRM) principles in the region will enable water to be considered as a resource to be managed, protected and shared equitably among countries and users.
The riparian countries jointly agreed on priority top-ics for regional cooperation in water:
1. Transparent sharing of hydrometeorology data and joint use of forecast modelling among riparian countries to prevent water-related dis-asters.
2. Adoption of water quality standards and moni-toring and water efficiency programme.
3. Investment in and joint management of trans-boundary water infrastructure.
Progressing on these topics would ultimately support riparian countries in their endeavour to find sustain-able solutions to water resources management at re-gional and national level in a context highly sensitive to climate change and natural hazards. Concretely, this means working on the protection of water-sheds, adaptation to climate change and promoting measures for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction, measures and conditions necessary to optimise the quantity and quality of water available in the region.
Access to safe drinking water and sanitation, as well as waste disposal services is still critical and has high gender relevance. Provision of reliable and efficient public services will be strengthened, including safe drinking water, sanitation and solid waste manage-ment, while mainstreaming the consideration of natural hazards through disaster risk reduction meas-ures. Irrigation, energy and urban integrated infra-structure projects fostering economic development and people’s inclusion will also be supported.
Switzerland will continue its support for the water sector policy dialogue, inter alia providing policy ad-visory services to the governments at ministerial and policy-making levels.
5. Strategic orientations and priorities for 2017–2021

Increasing access to public services goes beyond a technical issue: it implies adapted managerial, hu-man and financial resources.
Action at political and policy levels will foster the en-hancement of the institutional capacities and legisla-tive environment. The different levels of administra-tion, be it community-based, municipal, provincial, national and the private sector (among others), must have clear roles and responsibilities. Enhanced par-ticipation of women in water governance bodies at all levels remains a priority.
Upscaling efforts began and should attract new fi-nancing models. The aim is to ultimately relieve the institutions from their dependence on international aid, by proving the financial sustainability of the sec-tor through efficient operation and maintenance as well as affordable cost-recovery tariffs. Functioning infrastructure managed in a transparent and inclu-sive manner is a pillar for increasing living standards. 5.3 Governance, institutions and de-centralisation (SDG 5, 11)
Public institutions deliver efficient and effec-tive services in an inclusive way and are ac-countable to citizens. Civil society participates in decision-making processes.
The goal is to strengthen democratic processes and institutions and to improve the quality of selected public services. The governance programme will pursue the promotion of initiatives securing spaces for inclusive public participation in reform and de-
cision-making processes. Swiss action will support institutions, at all levels, to become accountable, efficient and effective in basic service delivery. The latter must be available and accessible to all groups of the population, especially the most vulnerable, in order to promote inclusion and reduce social and po-litical marginalisation. Those services must also take into account the specific needs and constraints of women. Citizens and civil society will be supported to actively engage in political and administrative processes. Promoting democratic and inclusive gov-ernance and respect for human rights (with specific projects on the rule of law and access to justice) is a means to support sustainable development in Cen-tral Asia. The issue of corruption will be addressed systematically.
More specifically, in Kyrgyzstan, targeted action will promote increased public service coverage at local level; support increased efficiency and transparency in public financial management; and provide support to reinforce parliamentary systems enabling citizens to hold their government and parliament account-able. Furthermore, the Kyrgyz Republic will be sup-ported in strengthening its democratic election pro-cesses, thereby increasing the citizens’ trust in the political system. In Tajikistan, Swiss cooperation will in particular support state institutions in implement-ing reforms, managing and delivering high-quality, affordable services in targeted areas (legal aid, civil registration, prevention of domestic violence). With this support, public institutions will effectively ful-fil their functions in a transparent and accountable manner and respond to the needs of citizens.

Swiss cooperation will strengthen cooperation be-tween governments, citizens and civil society in or-der to enable the latter to influence policymaking and monitor effectively local and national public institutions. In both countries, Switzerland will fa-cilitate increased citizen participation in decision-making processes at the local and national levels, support improved transparency and accountability of public institutions towards citizens at all levels, and improve service management by governments that responds to the demands of citizens. Furthermore, in Tajikistan, Swiss cooperation will help maintain an open space for dialogue between government and civil society organisations on key legal issues.
By integrating governance as a cross-cutting theme in all of its programmes, Switzerland will ensure that its support is more equitable, transparent, effective, inclusive, gender-responsive and will lead to sustain-able results in terms of poverty reduction. Therefore, programmes in all areas of activity will strengthen the links between state, civil society and the private sector at the national but also at a decentralised level. Governance-related capacity-building and in-stitutional development of organisations, including corporate governance, will be implemented with the aim of not only strengthening technical capacities of institutions but also clarifying their roles and respon-sibilities. Finally, participation of relevant communi-ties, civil society and the private sector in all projects supported by Switzerland is also a governance prin-ciple that will be ensured through the programmes.
5.4 Employment and economic development (SDG 8)
The private sector, including competitive micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, creates decent jobs and inclusive economic growth in a favourable and efficient business environment.
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan aim to gradually counter-balance the external drivers of the economy (remit-tances, commodity prices) with more sustainable in-ternal contributors to economic development such as productive employment, high value-added services and industrialisation and competitiveness of local producers. At the time of writing, Uzbekistan is re-flecting on how to cautiously reform its economic governance, improve the relation and connectivity towards its neighbours and use international assis-tance in this regard.
In alignment with these national economic priorities and related challenges, the goal pursued by Swiss cooperation is to support the private sector – in-cluding competitive micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) – and its diversification, to cre-ate decent jobs, inclusive and sustainable economic growth and ultimately contribute to reducing pov-erty.
Key action to achieve this goal includes:
1. creating favourable business environments; 2. establishing well-regulated financial and micro-
finance sectors;3. facilitating access to international and regional
markets, know-how and capital;4. supporting local economic development and
value chains incl. those in energy-efficient areas and in tourism.
Through its economy-wide action, Swiss coopera-tion will continue to support efforts of state institu-tions to simplify and improve the business regulatory environment. Selected reforms in the most challeng-ing areas such as inspections, permits/licences and customs will be supported with technical assistance and through active participation in policy dialogue. The introduction of e-service delivery by state insti-tutions will contribute to better governance by re-ducing potential sources for corruption. As a result of Switzerland’s contribution, effective, client-orient-ed institutions will deliver accessible and affordable services to populations/MSMEs (business, finance & microfinance, trade, local economic development and value chains).
Hands-on assistance to MSMEs, entrepreneurs and producers will be provided. Innovation and know-how transfers to companies for the production of high-quality goods/services will be facilitated. Good corporate governance practices in MSMEs, vocal business and producer associations and institutional development of local trade and consulting service providers will also be promoted. As a result, compet-itive local MSMEs, entrepreneurs and producers can develop into drivers of sustainable economic growth and employment (Particular efforts and approaches will target women, young people and rural areas so that these vulnerable groups can equally benefit

responsible finance practices, financial literacy, con-sumer rights protection and the use of advanced risk management tools by financial institutions.
Economic development projects will not only create livelihood opportunities but also promote growth which is inclusive, benefiting all segments of the population. The potential of using remittances for productive investment will be explored. To accom-modate demands from partner countries for skills development support, projects will, whenever feasi-ble, include a capacity development component (the goal for these projects is to have every trained per-son employed).
5.5 Health (SDG 3)
Sectoral reforms and systemic engagement at policy and population level respond to the high demand for high-quality, efficient, accessible and affordable healthcare services.
Access to quality and affordable health services is not only a basic human right but also contributes to economic growth. Swiss cooperation will therefore continue its support to health sector reforms. An in-creasing focus will be placed on systemic engage-ment improving governance and ensuring that the system responds to the high demand for high-qual-ity, efficient, accessible and affordable healthcare services. Swiss-funded health projects will be guided by the Universal Health Coverage core principle to improve health, which consists of three basic objec-tives:
1. access to health services has to be equitable – everyone who needs services should get them, not only those who can pay for them;
2. quality of health services should be good enough

from economic growth and employment). An addi-tional focus will be given to MSMEs in the area of tourism as a driving force for inclusive growth and job creation.
Furthermore, Swiss cooperation will facilitate access to long-term capital and broaden the spectrum of financial products essential for the development of the private sector. Full programmatic approaches, in-cluding introducing macro-prudential measures in fi-nancial sector regulation, strengthening financial in-frastructure, promoting good governance principles in market regulation, and developing new banking products (including mobile money) will be employed. To mitigate financial fragility (both for institutions and population), Swiss cooperation will also foster

risks, ensuring that the cost of using services does not put people at risk of financial harm.
Optimisation of health financing, medical education reforms, community-based health promotion and control of non-communicable diseases (such as car-dio-vascular and chronic respiratory diseases, diabe-tes and cancer) will be major issues to be addressed, taking into consideration gender aspects (e.g. men are more prone to suffer from heart-related diseas-es). The programme will be instrumental in reduc-ing unequal access to health services and in tackling governance challenges, in particular transparency, effectiveness, equity and accountability, at all levels of the healthcare system.
Specifically, Switzerland will contribute to building an accountable and integrated primary healthcare system based on family medicine, ensuring quality of service delivery. In Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, the reform of medical education towards international standards will be supported. A particular focus will be placed on human resource policy implementa-tion for health, aimed at ensuring availability of well-trained and motivated primary health workers, including in remote geographic areas. Furthermore, an essential contribution will be made to improving the planning, monitoring and management capaci-ties of health managers at different levels as well as promoting women’s participation in the health management structures. In Kyrgyzstan, for example, Swiss cooperation will support the decentralisation of management and autonomy of targeted hospitals. Also, through health promotion activities, communi-ty members will be empowered to take responsibility for their own health and to hold health institutions accountable.
In view of further streamlining the project portfolios and making the best use of available resources, the scope of any new projects in the health sector will be narrowed to a governance approach (and inte-grated into the governance portfolio). The portfolio will combine sector-wide approaches and bilateral projects. Switzerland will work with international and local partners ensuring transfer of knowledge, ownership and sustainability. Swiss Cooperation will actively participate in the policy dialogue to support the implementation of reforms.
5.6 Disaster Risk Reduction
Owing to their rough and mountainous terrain and climatic conditions, Central Asian countries (particu-larly Tajikistan), are prone to frequent natural disas-ters (e.g. earthquakes, flash floods, mudflows, snow avalanches, rock falls). In the past, Switzerland has often been the first agency to support emergency interventions thanks to its quick response capacity and its extensive experience in dealing with disas-
ters common to mountainous areas. In the future, Switzerland will continue to provide rapid response and emergency relief for natural disasters through its humanitarian assistance instruments. In mountain-ous Tajikistan, Switzerland is an active member of the Rapid Emergency Assessment and Coordination Team (REACT), which is under the lead of the Com-mittee of Emergency Situations and Civil Protection. Support will be provided based on needs assess-ments and in close collaboration with the Commit-tee and in partnership with local and international humanitarian assistance agencies.
In line with the international DRR Sendai framework for action, Switzerland will consolidate in Tajikistan the integration of the disaster risk reduction (DRR) programme into its development interventions (mainly in Water, Infrastructure, Climate Change do-main). DRR is a development concern and a cross-cutting issue in particular for infrastructure projects. The applied approach will reinforce national and local structures, allowing for risk-informed develop-ment and responsive systems.

5.7 Arts and culture
Swiss cooperation has committed to devote 1% of the operational budget to supporting initiatives in the local artistic and culture sector. Switzerland will encourage diverse artistic and cultural creations in Central Asia contributing to a peaceful, inclusive and democratic society. Support will be provided for the design, production and dissemination of events/products and for the institutional development of selected partners. This support will contribute to increasing the cultural offer and diversity and foster interest, understanding and appreciation of art and culture actors. The latter will relay values reinforcing social cohesion, promoting democracy and respect for human rights. The Swiss-funded projects will ac-tively encourage regional exchanges, strengthen the focus on youth and the commitment to reaching out to peripheral and culturally disadvantaged areas.
22
6. Programme implementation and management
The implementation of the strategy is under the responsibility of the Swiss representations based in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. These offices will receive guidance from SDC and SECO head offic-es in Switzerland. Close coordination at country but also at head office level between SDC and SECO will provide for synergies between projects according to the core competencies of these two federal entities. Swiss cooperation avoids duplicating organisational structures hence reinforces and uses whenever pos-sible the existing country systems. This contributes to the sustainability of the project results.
The hydro-diplomacy initiative is steered by SDC. Its implementation requires the involvement of the regional water adviser based in Kazakhstan and all Swiss representations in the region. A special envoy for water, based in Switzerland, will provide addi-tional support to this process.
Switzerland will work at all levels (macro, meso, micro) with a mix of different modi operandi (us-ing development as well as diplomatic instruments) and partners (contributions to multilateral agencies, bilateral projects, support to civil society and the pri-vate sector), helping to address issues requiring ma-jor investments. Multi-donor initiatives and sector-wide approaches will be supported. Switzerland will maintain a prominent role within donor coordination platforms (e.g. governance in Kyrgyzstan, water in Tajikistan).
Overall thematic orientation and most of the exist-ing partnerships – be it with government institutions, multilateral/regional actors, NGOs or UN agencies – will be continued. Relationships with development banks will be strengthened (Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and De-velopment, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank) to identify potential synergies. The consequences of membership of the Eurasian Economic Union will be closely monitored.
To ensure that Swiss development activities are ap-propriate for any given context, Conflict Sensitive Programme Management (CSPM) will be applied as a standard management tool. Social studies will allow the most vulnerable groups of the population to be identified, as well as any changes to their situation, specifically that of women and girls (e.g. how does migration affect women?). The performance of each of the areas of intervention is monitored, with clear indicators, including for gender and governance.
Whenever possible, implementation of projects will be done through existing structures in order to fa-cilitate the scaling up of best practices. Governments will be further supported to steer and manage policy and reform processes, enabling the delivery of ser-vices to the population to be carried out effectively. The inclusiveness principle will not only prevail at service delivery but already when designing reforms or drafting policies. This will guarantee that specific needs of various segments of the population are tak-en into consideration. The design of new projects will take into account, if feasible, all potential for capacity building and skills development. This will foster social inclusiveness and improve sustainability through the transfer of know-how. The policy dialogue will be used primarily as an instrument to influence/advance the reform processes to which Switzerland is contrib-uting.
The transversal themes of gender equality and gov-ernance, while mainstreaming disaster risk reduction, will be addressed and integrated systematically in projects and programmes to safeguard lives, sources of livelihood and inclusive development results.
DRR and climate change issues will be addressed specifically within the area of water, infrastructure and environment. The vulnerability of all projects to climate change and natural hazards will be assessed. If required, appropriate mitigation and adaptation measures will be undertaken.
The competencies of Swiss cooperation human re-sources, specifically on gender and CSPM issues, will be enhanced. Peer learning will improve internal methodological competencies but also increase the-matic knowledge.
The regional outcome related to water overarches all Swiss-financed activities in the sector, includ-ing in countries such as Kazakhstan and Turkmeni-stan, where the Swiss Cooperation is not present but which are important regional players. For some specific aspects, e.g. security or watershed manage-ment, Afghanistan will clearly need to be considered in the analysis and search for solutions.
23
The activities under this strategy will be financed through the present Swiss framework credit 2017–2020 for transition cooperation in Eastern Europe. The fifth year being financed by the next framework credit 2021-2024 cannot be defined now and is therefore not considered in the tables below.
The information on planned commitments for the five-year period of this strategy is indicative. Actual disburse-ments will depend on various factors, such as the chang-es in the project portfolio and the framework conditions of the partner country as well as available disbursement credits authorised by the Swiss Parliament.

7. Strategic steering
The monitoring system of the new Cooperation Strategy is organised so that the effectiveness and coherence of its implementation is checked at pro-gramme level through the use of a monitoring ma-trix derived from the Results Framework. It assesses progress towards achieving expected outcomes of Swiss projects and their contribution to country de-velopment, including with regard to social, political and economic inclusion. Gender and governance – as transversal themes – are monitored in all sectors.
The monitoring system also offers an overview of how the Cooperation Strategy adheres to the con-text, using an instrument for outsourced analysis of contextual developments relevant to the Coopera-tion Strategy. The Monitoring System for Develop-ment Related Changes (MERV) is also used to this end. The scenario table (Annex 4) contains the ad-aptations to the Cooperation Strategy which may be needed based on possible changes in the context. Swiss Cooperation will conduct stakeholder assess-ments and partner due diligence processes to guar-antee the relevance of its responses and the fiduciary security of its investments.
Regular external evaluations will be conducted at project or sector level to assess achievement of ob-jectives and sustainability of development impacts. Peer reviews can also provide for capitalisation of experience and capacity building. Finally, an internal control system (ICS) allows for process control and management risk mitigation.
The Swiss representations in Bishkek, Dushanbe and Tashkent are responsible for the implementation, monitoring and steering of the Cooperation Strat-egy. The Swiss hydro-diplomacy initiative is led and coordinated by a joint SDC team composed of repre-sentatives from the Global Cooperation Department and the Cooperation with Eastern Europe Depart-ment. The regional water advisor, based in Almaty (Kazakhstan), will manage the regional water pro-gramme and offer support to Swiss cooperation of-fices in Central Asia. All Swiss representations in the region will support the hydro-diplomacy initiative. A special envoy will complete the set-up.
The policy and political dialogue related to develop-ment issues will be implemented by the Swiss repre-sentations in the countries. They participate in rel-evant coordination platforms, specifically the ones between the governments and other donors.
The specific steering tasks are:
• To analyse contextual trends and take appropri-ate adaptation measures to maintain the rel-evance, effectiveness and efficiency of the Swiss Cooperation Strategy;
• To monitor the progress of programme out-comes;
• To be accountable for the set of objectives and to report on achievements;
• To capitalise on experiences, scale-up best prac-tice and promote learning at all levels.
The Swiss representations have at their disposal an integrated set of management and monitoring tools (see the outline of the monitoring system in Annex 3).
The Annual Report highlights the progress of the Swiss Cooperation Strategy’s implementation. To-gether with the management response, it constitutes the main strategic steering instrument. It reports on results achieved, measured and evaluated against targets defined in the overall Results Framework of the Cooperation Strategy (Annex 2). It also analyses the contribution of the Swiss programme to country development results, as well as the implications and planning priorities for the subsequent year.
Whenever feasible and appropriate, aggregated ref-erence indicators (ARI) respectively standard indica-tors (SI) will be used. The collected data will feed the communication system and inform on the Swiss con-tribution towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The fragile and rapidly changing context (e.g. due to migration or shocks) means that programme steering will require some flexibility to adapt implementation according to emerging opportunities and risks as well as the different scenarios (see Annex 4).
Project steering committees also provide opportu-nities to exchange with representatives of national authorities on political and policy issues. Those dis-cussions contribute to the strategic steering of the Cooperation Strategy.

Annex 3: Monitoring System
Objectives and principles
The implementation, monitoring and steering of this cooperation strategy is the responsibility of the Swiss representations in Central Asia. The monitoring and steering of the strategy have the following objectives:
• To analyse contextual trends and take appropriate adaption measures to maintain the relevance, effectiveness and efficiency of the Swiss Cooperation Strategy;
• To assess the progress towards achieving expected outcomes of Swiss projects and their contribution to country development, to be accountable for the set of objectives and to report on achievements;
• To capitalise on experiences, scale-up best practice and promote learning at all levels, and value them in the political dialogue (mu-tual learning among the involved actors).

Annex 4: Scenarios
Annex 4 – Scenarios
Worst case Dictatorship, violent extremism, low intensity wars,
strong ethnic tensions, disrupted economies
Status quo – base scenario Non-representative governments, tensions among countries, ethnic tensions, vulnerable economies
Best case Legitimate government, participative and inclusive dialogue with citizens, accountable and effective institutions, functioning social market economy
Geopolitical Situation Geopolitical Situation Geopolitical Situation • The region becomes target of accentuated geopoliti-
cal interest that negatively affects its development. • Violent extremism is imported from Syria, Afghani-
stan and Pakistan. • Smugglers operate with impunity. • The EEU integration does not balance terms of trade
and leaves Central Asian countries without access. • Rise of nationalism and ethnic violence.
• EEU and Silk Belt do not respond to expectations in terms of investments.
• Afghanistan is a predominant factor in national secu-rity policy formulation.
• "Wait and see" regarding EEU and the "Silk Road". • Nationalism is under control but remains an "argu-
ment" for politicians. • Situation of migrant labourers deteriorates with
worsening economic crisis.
• Countries are able to truly negotiate within EEU and the Silk Road initiative.
• Interstate trade is developing. • Afghanistan is sufficiently stable and does not nega-
tively influence regional stability. • Violent extremism is sporadic and under control. • Ethnic tensions are eased through a genuine inter-
cultural and political dialogue.
Political Situation Political Situation Political Situation • Tense regional environment favours "strong" govern-
ments with severe restrictions on personal freedom. • Democratic rules are abandoned. • Governance principles are not applied anymore. • Constitutions are meaningless reference documents. • Due to some ageing political leaders, their succes-
sion might create difficulties (temporary power vacu-um, clans' war).
• Governments are not representative. • Accountability of public institutions is weak and
transparency is insufficient. • Inclusiveness and civic participation in decision ma-
king processes needs to be improved. • Constitutional changes serve the ruling elites. Free-
dom space for civil society in general and individuals in particular is shrinking.
• Succession of some political leaders, though un-democratic, is more or less smooth.
• Governments are legitimate and respond to people's needs.
• Democratic principles apply at national and local levels.
• Citizens participate actively in the development of their country (vibrant civil society).
Economic Situation Economic Situation Economic Situation • Economies continue to slow down. Inability to pro-
vide jobs hence growing unemployment rate and leading to social unrests.
• Due to limited fiscal resources, serious aggravation of levels of indebtedness.
• Lack of investment and maintenance negatively impact on electricity production and distribution.
• Governments unable to maintain basic infra-structure.
• International investors pull out. • Corruption worsens. • Continuous decrease of remittances.
• Remittances remain an important economic stabili-sation factor though the decrease in transfers has dramatically been reduced.
• Economies continue to slow down. Inability to pro-vide jobs hence growing unemployment rate, but so-cial stability is maintained.
• Economic diversification is foreseen though the environment is not favourable.
• Governments are partially unable to maintain basic infrastructure.
• Frequent natural hazards negatively impact the economy.
• Difficulty to attract foreign investors. • EEU could be an opportunity if seen as a push to-
• Government policies lead to increasing and sustain-able growth.
• Economies become diversified and more resilient to external shocks.
• Water is used efficiently on a regional and national level.
• More employment opportunities and limited brain drain.
• Frequent natural hazards have a limited impact on the economy.
wards increased quality and improvement productivi-ty, an opportunity for further labour migration and freedom of movement.
Social Situation Social Situation Social Situation • Inequalities are testing the social cohesion. • Demographic pressure further increases. Very high
rate of youth unemployment, external migration. • Gender questions are systematically disregarded
resulting in a continuously degrading situation for girls and women.
• Public basic services provision is erratic, access is not equitable.
• Systematic persecution of civil society (activists, journalists, lawyers, etc.).
• Migration remains high (in country and external) even if hampered by situation in Russia.
• Urban pressure rises significantly due to internal migration and lack of integration of "returnees".
• Population’s growth rate remains as it is. • Poverty rate remains more or less the same. • Increased religious radicalisation of society. • Opportunities for women are higher in urban areas
than in rural areas. • Growing divide along ethnic identities.
• Participatory approaches allow governments and society to address social tensions.
• Women have more opportunities in urban but also rural areas. Their rights are respected.
• Increase in access of social, legal and economic opportunities leading to prevention of radicalisation of the population.
• The benefits of economic expansion are shared among the population. Poverty rate decreases.
Environment Situation Environment Situation Environment Situation • Authorities are unable to respond to natural disas-
ters (floods, earthquakes, droughts, etc.). • People and infrastructure are more and more at risk
due to the rapid population growth, booming “disas-ter-blind” development and absence of environment monitoring.
• Natural disaster risks are partially considered but governments are willing to improve the situation.
• DRR measures are implemented in some areas (but not yet nationally).
• National resources (like land, water and forestry) continue to degrade due to ineffective environmental management (overexploitation).
• Relevant national plans are developed and imple-mented.
• People and investments are secured. • Prevention mechanisms are continuously adapted to
the evolution of the situation (e.g. consequences of climate change).
Likelihood – medium Likelihood – high Likelihood - low Reaction of the Swiss Programme to the scenario:
Swiss reaction Swiss reaction Swiss reaction • Revision of Swiss cooperation strategy (e.g. pulling
out of some sectors). • Adaptation of the Swiss programme where required,
including the termination of single projects and of cooperation with partner countries.
• Remote controlled implementation with trustworthy partners identified at an earlier stage.
• New definition (or confirmation) of geographic inter-vention areas.
• Application of subsidiarity principle (as replacing failing policy dialogue).
• Adaptation of implementation dispositive (including closing of offices).
• Continuation of the planned programme, including close monitoring of the evolution of contexts.
• Identification of partners for potential remote con-trolled operations, capacity building and active com-petence development.
• Enhanced policy and political dialogues with national authorities.
• Strong involvement in donors' coordination plat-forms.
• Cooperation with IFIs in view of closer coordination for policy dialogue, scaling-up of projects, etc.
• Implementation of third party funds (e.g. delegated cooperation).
• Regular stakeholder and risk assessment.
• Definition of a detailed exit cooperation strategy and implementation of the latter.
• Definition of a new bilateral partnership with Central
Asian States.

The activities under this strategy will be financed through the present Swiss framework credit 2017–2020 for transition cooperation in Eastern Europe. The fifth year being financed by the next framework credit 2021-2024 cannot be defined now and is therefore marked as “to be defined” (tbd) in the table below.
The final allocation of funds will depend on the identification of suitable interventions, the absorption capacity as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of the cooperation with the relevant partners in each partner country. Accordingly, the following information on planned disbursements for the five-year period of this strategy is indicative. It cannot be considered a firm commitment or claimed as such by the partner country. This information serves merely as a basis for the forward spending plans that are reviewed each year by the Swiss Parliament. Actual disbursments will depend on various factors, such as the changes in the project protfolio and the framework conditions of the partner country as well as available disbursement credits authorised by the Swiss Parliament. Portfolio and planned disbursements are regularly discussed with the partner authorities.
