Example of cooperation in Serbia:

Sida supports environmental project in Serbia

Millions of people are dependent on the Danube – Europe’s second-longest river – in one way or another. But the river is becoming increasingly polluted. In Serbia, Sida is supporting the Danube River Enterprise Pollution Reduction Project (DREPR) to help keep the river clean.

Our work in Serbia

Serbia’s public administration needs to become more efficient. Bombs and pollution have had disastrous consequences for the environment. We are supporting administrational reforms, as well as gender equality and human rights. The target is for Serbia to join the EU.

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.

Champika started her own business

For a poor and disabled Sri Lankan woman there is little chance to support oneself. But with the help of the Rehab Lanka project Champika Subashini, 24, from Sri Lanka was able not only to train as a seamstress but also to borrow money for her own sewing machine and start her own business.
