That's the way! A new crossroads for Swedish aid.

On the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty on October 17, 2011 Sida hosted a conference on the future of Swedish aid. The discussions were focused on how the Swedish development cooperation can contribute to a better global development. Several international guests participated.

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.

Innovations against poverty, IAP

Innovations Against Poverty attracted well over 230 companies when the second application round came to a close end of November. Through the programme, companies can get financial support and advice on inclusive business models.
