The Maison Internationale des Associations (MIA), a partner of the City of Geneva, organised its return to work on Thursday 17 September, focusing on the topic of “The Health crisis: what consequences for the future of Geneva’s associative sector?” Due to the pandemic, this event was held online with the participation of Christina Kitsos, Administrative Councillor, Thierry Apothéloz, State Councillor, Ueli Leuenberger, President of the Fondation pour l’Expression Associative, and Sandro Cattacin, professor at UNIGE. 

Draft budget 2021: services maintained and political priorities implemented despite a considerable deficit

Accompanied by serious economic and social repercussions, the health crisis and the fiscal reform (RFFA) have weighed heavily in the preparation of the draft budget 2021. The expected fall in tax revenue has had a significant negative impact on the overall result, which is reflected in the deficit of 49.3 million francs. In order to implement a proactive policy aimed at supporting the local economy, the Administrative Council has increased the annual investments budget to 180 million francs.

The ceremony dedicated to perinatal bereavement will be held on 19 September

Due to the pandemic, the ceremony dedicated to perinatal bereavement initially scheduled for May was postponed until September. Once again, the City of Geneva wishes to pay homage to children who died before they were born by means of a contemplation ceremony including the creation of a transient work of art consisting of 49 chimes, designed by the artist Carmen Perrin. This collective secular commemoration will be held on Saturday 19 September 2020 at 11 a.m. in the Saint-Georges Cemetery, in partnership with the Association Kaly.
