Development Cooperation

On December 13, 2017, the Swedish government adopted a new Strategy for Development Cooperation with Sudan. Sweden will strengthen its support for economic development and sustainable peace in Sudan, and reinforce cooperation on human rights. Under the new strategy, Sweden will also launch projects in the area of environment and climate change.

Sweden’s new Strategy for Development Cooperation with Sudan comprises 1 200 million Swedish kronor (circa 140 million U.S. dollars), over the next five years. The strategy includes three areas of cooperation: (i) sustainable peace; (ii) human rights, democracy and the rule of law; and (iii) environment, climate change, agriculture and energy.

 – Sweden has a longstanding commitment to support peace and sustainable development in Sudan, through our political dialogue and development cooperation. We want to create opportunities for people living in poverty to improve their lives, says Ms Isabella Lövin, Minister for International Development Cooperation and Climate.
