Review of Sida Contribution to Performing Arts in Palestine through the Academy of Music and Drama at the University of Gothenb

The current programme is not a programme as per Sida’s definition, nor can it be described as a Programme-Based Approach (PBA). It is rather a collection of organizations active in the field of performing arts with projects supported by Sida through HSM. The Swedish contribution to culture in Palestine is small in terms of Sida funding, around 7.5 MSEK, out of which some 5 MSEK are distributedto the involved organizations. The funded organizations display a great variety of activities, from circusto symphony orchestra, dance school and theatre performances.
