WASH Emergency Response – Matthew Hurricane – Haiti

15.02.2026

When Hurricane Matthew struck Haiti in 2016, it left entire communities in the Port-Salut region facing severe disruption, particularly in access to clean water and sanitation. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, time was critical. Rapid action was needed to prevent further hardship and protect public health. Thanks to swift cross-border coordination, emergency WASH support was rapidly deployed from the Dominican Republic. Spare parts, essential equipment, and a wide range of technical materials were mobilized and delivered to affected areas, enabling the quick repair and installation of water and sanitation systems. This logistical lifeline played a decisive role in

Following the evaluation of a European Union–financed project implemented by the Government of Senegal, Dropstone was engaged by the Humanitarian Dialogue Centre to provide backstopping support for the reintegration of vulnerable youth from the Casamance region through professional training. Building on the evaluation findings, Dropstone supported the Government of Senegal in strengthening the relevance, quality, and sustainability of reintegration measures targeting at-risk youth. The assignment focused on enhancing employability, fostering entrepreneurship, and improving linkages between training systems and local economic opportunities.

24.02.2026

An evaluation mission commissioned by the City of Geneva (Délégation Genève Ville Solidaire – DGVS) was carried out in South Sudan in 2016 to take stock of a project supporting some of the most vulnerable communities on the outskirts of Juba. The mission focused on Lologo, where the Geneva-based association ASASE, in partnership with the South Sudanese organization SVDP, has been working to improve living conditions for underprivileged populations facing significant social and economic challenges. The objective of the mission was twofold: to assess the tangible impact of the project on local communities and to formulate practical recommendations to further

Hydrogeological Support – Rural Water Programme – Tunisia

15.06.2026

The engagement began with an evaluation of the project in 2013, which led to the recommendation for a complete strategic realignment. Following this assessment, comprehensive managerial and technical support was provided over a five-year period (2013–2017) to support the restructured programme. A backstopping mandate was awarded to DROPSTONE to ensure the technical and institutional support of the “Projet Eau Kasserine” (PEK). This included the implementation of 15 large-scale rural drinking water and irrigation projects, supported by specialized hydrogeological expertise for groundwater monitoring and the sustainable use of natural resources. The programme also placed strong emphasis on capacity building, with training

The cantilever bridge has been finalised in 2015. It is again possible to walk all the way up to the Upper Gorkha district, on foot or with mules, for the first time since the earthquake struck Nepal in April 2015. This is a relief for the local people and also the trekkers that can now reach Manaslu Conservation Area safely. This work was financed by DfID and implemented by AF-ITECO. DROPSTONE provided advisory support for the geological feasibility study. Below is the aerial view of the meandre taken in November last year during the assessment of works. The washed away
