Sida - The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency
Sida is a Swedish government agency for development cooperation, working on behalf of the Swedish Parliament and Government to implement Swedish development policy. Sida works to reduce the world's poverty by providing resources and knowledge that make a difference to people in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. This is done in collaboration with actors from civil society and universities as well as the public and private sector. Sida’s activities are funded through Swedish tax revenue.
Sida does not implement the aid interventions, but works in partnership with other actors. Sida allocates financial resources and develops knowledge and competence, while the partners manage and execute the projects. Each country is responsible for its own development, and local partners always have the best solutions for local problems.
Types of funding
Opportunities for collaboration for researchers and universities as well as other information for existing and potential partners can be found on Sida's English partner pages.
Co-funding
Sida covers for full costs according to appropriation direction unless otherwise stated in the call text.
