Security, stability, and support for reforms Switzerland will support local authorities in conducting transportation system analysis, promoting youth support initiatives, financing school exchange programmes and training courses as well as training of social youth workers.

Moreover, Switzerland will promote measures to enhance hazardous waste management.
Promotion of the private sector To improve the regulation of the financial sector, specific measures in the field of corporate sector financial reporting and auditing at the national level will be funded, thereby supporting the effective implementation and enforcement of the Acquis Communautaire of the European Union.
