​Webinar "How to truly Leave No One Behind: A disability-inclusive protection in practice"​​

This webinar is proposed by the Swiss NGO Section in collaboration with the Peace, Governance and Equality Section of SDC and CBM Switzerland. Since last October, the SDC's internal campaign #disAbility4SDC aims to raise awareness and educate on the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities. In this context, and two days after the International Day of People with Disabilities, this webinar constitutes an important occasion to reflect upon the actions that should be taken to create an inclusive environment and to ensure that all people enjoy their rights and are able to develop their full potential. But what does a disability-inclusive approach mean for international cooperation? What measures are – or should be – implemented in order to truly Leave No One Behind (LNOB) in humanitarian and development practice? These questions and many more will be addressed with a specific focus on a disability-inclusive approach to the protection of civilians and the SDC's disability-inclusive response to the refugees influx from Ukraine in Moldova. For the presentation slides of the webinar, please click here»

Learning Event: How to implement the pledge to Leave No One Behind in SDC Programmes?​​

The Focal Point LNOB/Poverty and the Swiss Representations in the Horn of Africa (HoA) and Nepal invited all interested SDC staff to a learning event on the operationalisation of Leave No One Behind (LNOB). 

The learning event, which took place on 2 December 2021, was based on the experiences and approaches of Nepal and the HoA. Whilst the HoA had just developed a new cooperation programme and therefore commissioned a detailed analysis on minority inclusion, Nepal could share lessons from several years of implementing the LNOB pledge through a gender and social inclusion approach (GESI). This learning event allowed for SDC staff from around the world to share their experience about the operationalisation of the central pledge of the 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind. See here to find out more»

International Day for the Eradication of Poverty

As we embark on the post-COVID recovery and getting back on track with the Sustainable Development Goals, many are talking of “building back better”. However, the message from the people living in extreme poverty is clear; they do not want a return to the past nor to build back to what it was before. They do not want a return to the endemic structural disadvantages and inequalities. Instead, people living in poverty propose to build forward.

Building forward means transforming our relationship with nature, dismantling structures of discrimination that disadvantage people in poverty and building on the moral and legal framework of human rights that places human dignity at the heart of policy and action.

Find out more on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty with this year’s theme: Building Forward Together.​

The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) launched a Guidance on LNOB in 2019 to provide support to its staff and partner organisations on how to implement this central pledge of the 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind. Around the same time, it also launched its new Guidance for Engagement with Swiss NGOs​, including a reformed system of program contributions, with the 2030 Agenda ​and LNOB placed at its heart.​​​

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (17 October) marks a great opportunity for the SDC and its partners to reflect and exchange on the application of this pledge to leave no one behind one year after the adoption of the SDC Guidance. Visit this page for more details»
