Partner Driven Cooperation

Our work with Partner Driven Cooperation is based on the partners own initiatives and mutual interest in cooperating. In a long run the cooperation leads to a positive development for people who lives in poverty.

Many links between Sweden and South Africa date back to the struggle against apartheid. In the late 1990s, two cities deepened their relations and commenced long-term cooperation with support from Sida. Today, Gothenburg and Nelson Mandela Bay enjoy a lively cooperation that benefits development on many different fronts in both cities.
