Las convulsiones políticas de 2011 abrieron el camino a un largo e incierto proceso de transición en África del Norte. El compromiso de Suiza tiene por objetivo contribuir a que la región sea más inclusiva, próspera y pacífica. En el marco de la estrategia de Suiza para la cooperación internacional durante el período 2021-24, Túnez y Egipto son los dos países prioritarios de la COSUDE.

África del Norte está formada por países con perfiles muy distintos que, en razón de su importancia geopolítica y su proximidad con Europa, constituyen contrapartes importantes para Suiza. Todos estos países se enfrentan a las mismas dificultades y situaciones de fragilidad: desempleo elevado, sobre todo entre los jóvenes y las mujeres, corrupción, discriminación de género, disparidades regionales y exclusión política, económica y social. La precaria seguridad, el estancamiento de la economía y los fuertes flujos migratorios completan el panorama.

El compromiso de Suiza
Suiza centra su labor en tres prioridades temáticas: la gobernanza y los derechos humanos, el desarrollo económico sostenible e inclusivo, y la migración y la protección. En Egipto y Túnez opera en estos tres ámbitos, mientras que en Libia y Argelia presta ayuda humanitaria. En Libia, trabaja además en aras de la promoción de la paz.
Gobernanza y derechos humanos
Suiza afianza su compromiso para contribuir a una gobernanza participativa, eficaz, transparente y receptiva, a la consolidación del Estado de derecho, y a la promoción y el respeto de los derechos humanos, incluidos los derechos de las mujeres y los migrantes. En Túnez, el nuevo programa aspira a consolidar los procesos de transición democrática, especialmente en lo que respecta a la descentralización. En Egipto, Suiza aborda los principios de buena gobernanza y apoya a la sociedad civil, los medios de comunicación y el mundo académico.
Reducción de la pobreza mediante la prevención de conflictos y desastres
Desarrollo económico sostenible e inclusivo
Suiza centra su labor en las reformas económicas estructurales y en la mejora de las oportunidades económicas para los jóvenes, las mujeres y los hombres. Se trata principalmente de promover unas condiciones marco económicas fiables, iniciativas innovadoras en el sector privado, el acceso a los mercados y los activos, así como oportunidades de generar ingresos dignos para las mujeres y los hombres. Suiza lleva a cabo intervenciones sectoriales con el objetivo de mejorar las infraestructuras básicas y la planificación urbana, el desarrollo del sector privado ofreciendo empleos remunerados, la gestión de las finanzas públicas y la transparencia de las instituciones públicas (complementariedades entre la COSUDE y la SECO).
Migración y protección
La historia de África del Norte se caracteriza por fuertes flujos migratorios: huyendo de las crisis económicas y los conflictos, numerosas personas se desplazan en el interior de sus países, en la región y hacia Europa. Muchos de estos migrantes son víctimas de la violencia y la explotación. Suiza contribuye a la creación de las condiciones marco necesarias en el ámbito de la protección, el respeto del derecho internacional humanitario, la inclusión social de los migrantes, la participación de la diáspora en el desarrollo sostenible, la migración laboral segura y la prevención de la migración irregular.
A nivel regional, se presta especial atención a la protección, la educación básica y la integración de los niños y los jóvenes que se desplazan por dos rutas de migración intra-africana, así como por el corredor de migración laboral entre África del Norte, Oriente Medio y Asia del Sur. A nivel político, Suiza pretende reforzar la cooperación en materia de migración con los Estados de África del Norte.
Enfoque y tipos de contrapartes
La labor de Suiza en África del Norte se lleva a cabo en el marco de un enfoque de colaboración entre diversos departamentos: la Agencia Suiza para el Desarrollo y la Cooperación (COSUDE), la Dirección Política del DFAE, la División Paz y Derechos Humanos (DPDH), la Secretaría de Estado para Asuntos Económicos (SECO) y la Secretaría de Estado de Migración (SEM).
