The development cooperation strategies govern Swedish development cooperation.
There are strategies covering both countries and regions as well as cooperation with multilateral organisations, CSOs and thematic development cooperation.
Organisations responsible for carrying out the strategies report back yearly. Those reports can be found when selecting countries, regions and sectors on Openaid.se.
Unfortunately some strategies are only available in Swedish – switch to Swedish to see the full list.
