Sammanfattning

In 2024, humanitarian needs reached record levels, driven by the growing frequency and intensity of armed conflicts and climate change-induced extreme weather events. Around 300 million people worldwide required humanitarian assistance and protection, including over 117 million displaced from their homes. Despite rising needs, severe underfunding worsened. Sida’s humanitarian funding enabled partners to reach nearly 116 million people
with protection and life-saving assistance during the year. Sida allocated SEK 4.900 million to humanitarian efforts, corresponding to about 19 per cent of the total disbursement by Sida. Through an approach based on the Humanitarian Principles Sida allocated funding as per severity of acute needs in the world’s largest and most complex humanitarian emergencies, such as Afghanistan, DRC, Ethiopia, Sudan and Yemen. In 2024, Sida worked with 17 strategic partners to deliver humanitarian assistance in 42 countries.

Sweden’s and Sida’s Partnership with the EU

Tematik: Humanitärt bistånd

The EU and its Member States are the world’s largest aid donor, accounting for around 42 per cent of Official Development Assistance (ODA) in 2024. EU aid aims to reduce global poverty and ensure sustainable economic, social and environmental development. In addition, the EU aims to promote democratization, gender equality, the rule of law, good governance and respect for human rights. The EU is an important channel for Swedish aid and a strategic partner to Sida, that provides global leverage for Sweden’s work to improve the living conditions of people living in poverty and oppression.
