Sida implements unprecedented 87% cut in information support to Swedish NGOs

From an expected level of SEK 155 million in funding for Sida’s information activities, the Swedish government has allocated just SEK 20 million for this year and nothing for 2024. Sida has a plan to phase out agreements with 19 non-government organisations over the course of the year. The aid agency warns that an aim of the information funding has been to combat “growing democratic exclusion” in Sweden.
