FUF's Vision

Our vision is that the Swedish public has good knowledge of global development. With increased knowledge, more people act for a fair and sustainable world. Global development issues are noticed and debated in the media as well as in politics, culture and education. The debate is fact-based and provides room for a diversity of perspectives and voices. Swedish policy leads to social, environmental and economic sustainable development globally. Actors in politics, business, the public sector and civil society collaborate and attack our global challenges from a holistic perspective.
