Bhutan's five Gyalsung Academies train thousands of cadets on largely self-sufficient campuses, but rapid expansion has outpaced local waste management capacity, with most waste disposed of at open dumpsites. This REPIC-funded pilot establishes Bhutan's first fully integrated Zero Waste system at Pemathang Gyalsung Academy, demonstrating a practical, replicable model aligned with the Zero Waste Bhutan Policy (2023) and laying the groundwork for nationwide scaling across all five academies.

The Civic Engagement Programme in Croatia (2024–2029) is part of Switzerland’s second contribution to selected EU member states, aiming to strengthen social cohesion and reduce social and economic disparities. It promotes democratic processes by fostering civic engagement and enhancing bilateral institutional relations and knowledge exchange between Switzerland and partner countries.

The programme, implemented by the Government Office for Cooperation with NGOs (NGO Office), empowers civil society to engage more actively at the local level through four components: 1) Sustainable Development Education, 2) Strengthening Volunteering 3) Micro Projects 4) Service-Learning Programmes. These components enable civil society organisations, in partnership with local institutions, to implement community-based initiatives via calls for proposals.  

While the first Swiss contribution achieved successful CSO projects, its systemic impact on long-term civil society engagement was limited. To address this, the second contribution introduced a fifth component: Programme Implementation and Learning, designed to leverage programme activities and results for greater strategic impact for fostering civic engagement and a more enabling environment for CSOs.
