Sida’s Multi-bi Support

In 2024, Sida disbursed SEK 7.6 billion to United Nations (UN) organisations for development cooperation and humanitarian assistance. This constitutes almost 30 per cent of Sida’s overall portfolio. The support to Ukraine has had a steep increase. Sida’s main UN partners are UNDP, UNICEF, UNOCHA, WFP, UNFPA, UN MPTFO, UN Women, UNHCR, UNESCO and FAO.

Health is one of the six top priorities for the Swedish Government and Sida, where health system strengthening and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are priorities. Investments in health are critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to fulfilling the global commitments of Agenda 2030, in particular SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Many global health challenges such as SRHR are linked to inequalities between men and women but there are also large inequities between and within countries. In 2024, Sida disbursed approximately SEK 1.8 billion on health, including SRHR, which represents about seven percent of Sida’s total development assistance.
