Swedish Partnership Programme
All partnerships financed by the Swedish Partnership Programme have departed from a rights-based perspective, have been relevant for the programme’s theory of change, and have contributed to the Swedish Government’s Strategy for Sweden’s Development Cooperation with Civil Society (CSO Strategy). The expected outcome of the grants has been strengthening the capacity of civil society actors and the civic space.
The Swedish Partnership Programme will cease to exist
The Swedish Partnership Programme will cease to exist as per the end of March 2026. Therefore, the programme does not accept any new applications. Please refer to Sida’s website for more information about Sida’s cooperation with civil society and financing opportunities within the new strategy.
