Our partners
Sida works with a wide range of partners from different sectors of society. We continuously learn from experiences with our cooperation partners and evaluate our partner portfolio to deliver the best possible assistance in each context.
For civil society organisations
A significant part of Sweden’s development assistance is carried out in cooperation with civil society organisations in our partner countries. Sida also has a number of strategic partners.
For researchers and universities
Sida supports research in and by low-income countries to reduce poverty and build sustainable societies. Our partners are bilateral, regional and global research institutions and research-supporting organisations.
For private sector
Sida is partnering with companies and private sector organisations that contribute to economic, social and environmental sustainable development.
For public sector
Swedish public agencies are an important and in-demand actor in development cooperation. There are many opportunities for Swedish public agencies to get involved and contribute to strengthening their counterparts in a partner country.
For multilateral organisations
Through multilateral cooperation Sida contributes to reducing poverty within Sweden’s priority thematic areas. Multilateral cooperation also makes it possible for Sweden to contribute to development in countries without bilateral cooperation.
For humanitarian partners
Sida has multi-year agreements with humanitarian organisations, from civil society, the UN and the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. In 2025, the Swedish government will adopt a new strategy for Sweden’s humanitarian aid through Sida. The humanitarian partnership process for the upcoming strategy is ongoing.
Methods and materials
Sida continuously develops tools and methodological materials to guide our staff. They can also be useful for Sida partners and other stakeholders. See our toolboxes for poverty, gender, environment and peace and conflict.
