Letter of appropriation for 2013
For 2013, the allocated appropriation channeled through Sida is 28 billion SEK. Of this amount, 11 billion are funds for which Sida handles payments and certain follow-up but where decisions and performance monitoring is done by the Government Offices. We also have an appropriation of 1 billion SEK designated for reform cooperation with Eastern Europe and 971 million SEK for administration.
We have a mandate to develop the analysis and assessment of results, ensure the quality of statistics and accounting, focus in particular on the commitments from the high-level meeting in Busan on aid effectiveness ie results, transparency and the role of business in development cooperation.
Nineteen proposals for new strategies within the bilateral country destinated development cooperation should be developed, as well as a regional approach. In cooperation with Burkina Faso Sida is to develop a plan for phasing out the bilateral cooperation by the end of 2016. A strategy for South Sudan is a new mission to prepare.
