Sida's purpose is to implement the Swedish aid policy objective of creating prerequisites for better living conditions for people living in poverty and oppression. As a Swedish government agency, we are governed by government regulations, instructions, strategies and annual appropriations. We are guided by the 2030 Agenda in everything we do for a sustainable development on our planet. We create conditions for the poorest and most vulnerable to shape their existence and future. Our vision is every person's right and opportunity to live a decent life.
