Culture as a catalyst for increased democracy

Of: Stone Rylander

At the same time as the development of democracy continues to be one of the most priority areas for development assistance, cultural support continues to decline. The reduced cultural assistance risks undermining the Swedish contribution to democratic development. That is the opinion of Sten Rylander, Forum Syd.

Important investments in the development assistance budget

Of: Annica Sohlström and Stone Rylander

Sweden is, after Switzerland, the country within the OECD that erodes aid the most. It is unfortunate that the new government is now signaling that the erosion will continue. Other budget solutions exist and should be discussed, write Sten Rylander and Annica Solhström from Forum Syd.

Today at 11 am we will be doing a live here on Instagram with an Today at 11 am we will be running a live here on Instagram on the occasion of the Swedish government's decision to discontinue bilateral development cooperation with Tanzania. This is happening at a time when Tanzania is developing in an increasingly authoritarian direction. What has characterized Sweden's and Tanzania's 60-year development cooperation? How has the country developed during this period? What consequences could Sweden's decision to discontinue bilateral aid have? We will explore these questions together with Jonas Ewald, lecturer in peace and development studies at Linnaeus University and Tanzania expert. Welcome to stop by and ask your questions!

Hello! My name is Signe Andersson and I am one of the autumn Hi! My name is Signe Andersson and I am one of this fall's FUF correspondents. I am currently doing an internship in Brussels, where I work on foreign and security policy issues. It is incredibly exciting to follow the EU's work up close, on issues related to peace, development and global relations. The internship is part of my master's degree in political science at Lund University, and I already have a bachelor's degree in development studies. My interest in development issues took shape in 2020, when I had the opportunity to do fieldwork in Guatemala and volunteer at a school. Since then, I have continued to travel to developing countries to better understand the social and political challenges that characterize them, but also because I find it incredibly rewarding and fun to meet new people and cultures. I am passionate about refugees and minority rights, something that often characterizes my writing. My latest text highlighted Palestinian refugees and their role in the peace process in Gaza. I look forward to writing about the EU's relationship and responsibility for conflict-affected areas and low-income countries, but also to sharing my journey with you! 1: Me 2: Brussels, Belgium 3: A roadside market in Kimana, Kenya 4: The family home I lived in in San Juan La Laguna, Guatemala 5: The European Parliament in Brussels 6: Video from the lunch break at the school I volunteered at in Antigua, Guatemala 7: Kiberia, Kenya #fufkorrespondents
