This study maps how Swedish aid to agriculture was distributed in the period 2005 to 2020. It identifies existing trends in terms of amounts and target countries, and the character and classification of Swedish aid to agriculture, as well as how Swedish trends compare with trends in international aid to agriculture.
Swedish development aid is focused on supporting poverty alleviation and sustainable development in low-income countries. Agricultural development is one of the most powerful tools for ending extreme poverty, boosting shared prosperity and feeding a projected 9.7 billion people by 2050. Support for agricultural development in the Global South is crucial to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030 Agenda, and in particular SDG 1 on ending poverty and SDG 2 on zero hunger. Sweden has provided aid to the agriculture sector since the 1960s but there have been few overviews of Sweden’s global agriculture support.
This study maps how Swedish aid to agriculture was distributed in the period 2005 to 2020. It identifies existing trends in terms of amounts and target countries, and the character and classification of Swedish aid to agriculture, as well as whether such trends follow international development and agricultural aid support trends.
The study focuses on five research questions:
Past event / Discover the potential of agroforestry in Ukraine's post-war recovery with SIANI and experts, including SEI's Matthew Fielding.
Journal article / Researchers develop a method to indicate where countries are headed for SDG progress if historical patterns of interaction between the goals continue.
