Of 25 organisations that Sida shortlisted in January to become humanitarian partners, 11 are nearing the finish line. Problematic issues were flagged in reviews of Save the Children, Oxfam, and World Vision, which were not selected. Islamic Relief is still under review, but Sida has held back SEK 50 million of a previously planned disbursement.
