how to cooperate

Applying for funding through an organisation with framework agreement

Sweden's support to civil society organisations in developing countries can be channelled through a Swedish CSO that has a framework agreement with Sida. By supporting the work of CSOs, we promote development of a dynamic and democratic civil society and strengthen local partner organisations.

A local civil society organisation in a developing country that wants to collaborate with Sida should contact one of our framework organisations. Funding for local or national CSOs in cooperation countries is channelled only through framework organisations and applications for local projects can be made to them.

Forum Syd is by far the largest Swedish organisation that has a framework agreement with Sida. It serves as an umbrella organisation for around 200 Swedish CSOs working with development co-operation.

The 15 Swedish civil society organisations that Sida currently has framework agreements with are:

  • Forum Syd
  • LO-TCO Secretariat of International Trade Union
  • Olof Palme International Center
  • PMU InterLife
  • MyRight (former SHIA- Swedish Organisations’ of Persons with Disabilities International Development Cooperation Association)
  • Swedish Mission Council
  • AGS – Africa Groups of Sweden
  • Diakonia
  • Swedish Cooperative Centre
  • Nature Conservation
  • Save the Children
  • Swedish Church
  • Plan Sweden
  • RFSU
  • World Wildlife Fund

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.
