What is a Strategic Partner Organisation (SPO)?

The cooperation between Sida and its Strategic Partner Organisations (SPO) is long-term. Sida has agreements with 15 SPO:s through the Strategy for support to Swedish organisations in the civil Society 2016-2022. The Strategic Partner Organisations are responsible for channelling Sida's support to civil society development in cooperation countries.

Should you wish to seek funding, applying for it with one of our Strategic Partner Organisations is the primary way to do so. One of the largest actors is ForumCiv, which serves as an umbrella organisation for some 160 Swedish CSOs working with development cooperation across a wide range of issues. Should they not be able to assist you and/or you wish to apply at another one of the Strategic Partner Organisations, you will find their contact information below.

You can also use Sidas CSO database to seek information about the projects and partners supported by the Strategic Partner Organisations.
