| Profile: |
The Swedish
International Development Co-operation Agency (Sida) is based
in Stockholm, Sweden, and has been supporting development research
since 1975. This support is administered through the Department
for Research Co-operation (SAREC). The objective of the Department
is to ensure research cooperation and other forms of cooperation
interact in order to achieve an optimum effect. It is responsible
for support to research and also acts as a resource in programmes
of development co-operation run by other Departments of Sida
in which there is a focus on research. Sida's coverage is worldwide. |
| Approach: |
SAREC
allocates almost one third of its appropriation for research
co-operation to bilateral co-operation with developing countries,
primarily to develop national research capacity. Another third
is allocated to regional support and special programmes. SAREC
also supports special research programmes and initiatives, international
research programmes and to development research in Sweden and
the EU research programmes. Assistance is targeted primarily
at institutions and institution-building. This is in order
to improve capacity in developing countries to run research
programmes of their own and to provide support to research which
can contribute to the solution of important development problems. |
| Finance: |
Sida/SAREC
is funded by the Swedish Government. For the budget year 2000,
SEK 570 million was allocated to research co-operation through
Sida. |
