    When new technology saves lives

    In Tanzania, maternal health care is free of charge but many women, particularly in rural areas, can’t even afford transportation to a hospital. Mobile phones are offering a solution. The United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA, supports a project that facilitates access to fistula treatment by transferring money through SMS to cover travel expenses to a clinic.

    Greener electricity for rural Tanzania

    Less than 2 per cent of Tanzania’s rural population has access to electricity. With support from Sida, Tanzania is working to connect rural areas to the national electricity network. The result is both a higher standard of living and a reduction in carbon-dioxide emissions.

International Training Programmes

As part of Sida's work with capacity and institutional development Sida offers international training programmes (ITP) for participants from low-and middle-income countries in priority areas. ITP's methodology takes account of the desire to develop and reform that the participants' organization have expressed in their application to the program.
