Areas of Activities
Security, stability and support for reforms.
Switzerland supports a project which contributes to the modernisation of the judiciary and facilitates access to
justice.
Environment and infrastructure.
In order to enhance environmental protection and to improve public health services, the rehabilitation and modernisation of hospital
infrastructures will be promoted. Switzerland will finance specific projects aiming at improving energy efficient building technologies in hospitals. This includes the modernisation of heating and
water systems, air ventilation and air conditioning.
Human and social development.
The improvement of the public health services, particularly with regard to the perinatal and the neonatal health care system, constitutes the main
focus of this activity area. The Swiss Contribution ties in with the Swiss transition aid of the 1990s. In addition to assistance in modernising the medical equipment and infrastructure, projects
targeting the training of the medical staff will be promoted. Furthermore, in order to strengthen the scientific potential and applied research, Switzerland will grant scholarships, support joint
research projects and finance institutional partnerships. Also, it will support the Lithuanian authorities in strategic planning in the fields of education and research.
Additional funds will be provided so as to promote initiatives aiming at improving the cooperation between the civil society and local municipalities.
