The search for allowances reduces the effectiveness of aid

Of: Annie Sturinge (f. Sturesson)

No workshops but per diem. The fact that aid money is used for the allowances for civil servants not only leads to costs that are difficult to defend, it also creates the wrong incentives. Aid actors need to reflect more self-critically on how they contribute to distorted reward systems, writes Annie Sturesson.

In September 2026, there will be elections to the Riksdag, regional In September 2026, there will be elections to the Riksdag, regional and municipal councils and the election campaign is underway. Parties and politicians are positioning themselves, often at the expense of their opponents. The tone is high, facts and consequences weigh lightly in the debate. Hate and threats are silencing many voices. It is unacceptable. That is why we at FUF, together with 23 trade unions, civil society and human rights organizations, are participating in a call for democracy. We urge all political representatives to contribute to a democratic social climate and to provide the conditions for voters to make well-founded decisions. Democracy needs champions, it needs to be defended every day and we must do that together regardless of political affiliation. We want a democratic conversation in the election campaign! Do you want it too? Share this post.
