Of: The Chancellery

2024 is coming to an end and it has been a different FUF year. As a result of the government's reduced support for non-governmental organizations, both FUF's operations and office shrank, and we closed our premises on Ehrensvärdsgatan, which many of you have visited for training, seminars and networking over the years.  However, our determination to work to increase knowledge, debate and commitment to global issues has remained strong!

Her ability to convey important knowledge about global issues, and her innovative ideas, have inspired Swedish actors to take responsibility in their international engagements. Josephine is a role model not least for young people who want to make a difference in the world.

EU + elections = EU elections

Of: The Chancellery

Only every sixth voter knows that there are EU elections in June - despite the fact that the EU works on important issues such as democracy, climate, peace and security and is the world's largest donor of aid.

FUF is shrinking as a result of the aid cuts

Of: The Chancellery

Unfortunately, the clouds have darkened for FUF in the run-up to 2024. The appropriations which via ForumCiv, Sida and FBA for many years have financed the lion's share of our projects and programs have been closed. We have therefore worked hard to find completely new funding routes - both within and outside the country's borders - and although we are still waiting for a couple of announcements, we have had to make several painful decisions before 2024. In order for us to be able to continue our business in the future, we need all the help we can get.
