News - 2020-01-30
The Civil Society Programme changes its name to the Swedish Partnership Programme. In addition to the name change, the change involves an internal change in ownership.

On January 1, 2020, a new unit was created at Forum Syd; Swedish Partnership Programme Unit, which will be responsible for running the Swedish Partnership Programme, formerly called the Civil Society Programme.

The new unit will be responsible for leading, coordinating and developing the programme, while management will continue to take place at Forum Syd's hubs in Belarus, Colombia, Kenya and Sweden.

The new name reflects the central partnership between Forum Syd, Swedish civil society organisations and local organisations.

A new position will be added shortly with, among other things, a focus on communication with appliying organisations.
