Expected long-term results The programme as a whole will contribute to global sustainable development. The scholarship holders are expected to use their knowledge, insights, tools and networks in the work for sustainable development where they are. In this way, organizations/institutions have an improved access to skilled labor in specific areas – which leads to an increased capacity in low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda. Within 1-3 years, the programme is expected to contribute to organisations in partner countries having improved access to a skilled and equal workforce in relevant areas. Within 3-5 years, the programme is expected to contribute to an increased capacity of low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda and thus contribute to global sustainable development Expected immediate results The performance-related effects are that these change agents, through a university education and participation in NFGP, gain knowledge, insights, tools and a larger network. That they gain contacts and exchange experiences with other change agents and that they are strengthened in their leadership skills. The immediate/performance-related effects are as follows: • Awarded scholarship holders undergo and complete their studies at advanced level in Sweden. • Individuals are given tools to better contribute to global development • Individuals gain contacts and exchange of experience with other change agents.
