Migration and displacement

During 2023 seven out of 45 of Sida’s strategies for long-term cooperation included specific development
goals on migration. The majority of strategy objectives are focused on improving and
protecting the human rights of migrants and of forcibly displaced persons. Funding credited to the
OECD/DAC migration sector code amounts to SEK 154 million in 2023, which equals 0.6 percent of
Sida’s total disbursement.
The content of the portfolio is broad and covers many sub-areas, such as migration statistics,
income generation for refugees, social services for internally displaced, and labor migrants rights.
As such, the portfolio is also relevant to the Swedish implementation of sub-goals in the Global Refugee
Framework and the Global Compact on Migration. Including migration and forced displacement
in development cooperation means addressing poverty and rights, and applying a systems
perspective, to enable inclusive development which results in long-term outcomes for all.
