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.

And why has it been chosen to reduce nuclear support to the UN in a world filled with crises? These were some of the issues that were discussed during FUF's conversation with Diana janse, State Secretary to the Minister for Aid and Foreign Trade Johan Forssell (M).

Fact-based information is a prerequisite for people from different parts of society to be able to understand and get involved in issues related to sustainable development, for example by making sustainable choices in life. Monitoring sustainable development also puts pressure on politicians to act on these issues and holds them accountable to their promises. Do you want to do like Parul Sharma and support the development magazine's independent journalism on sustainable development?

We are now halfway through the implementation of Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. At the same time, we see that developments in the world are going in the wrong direction in many ways - climate change, a reduced democratic space and waves of misinformation and fake news are just a few examples of that. Now it is more important than ever that the public can take [...]
