How is Swedish international aid distributed and what results does it achieve? Openaid publishes information from government agencies and ministries about Swedish development cooperation in accordance with the transparency guarantee.
Openaid is a website on which you can find information about the Swedish development cooperation. The website contains data on when, to whom and with what purpose Swedish international aid is paid and the results that it achieves.
While Sida is tasked to manage Openaid on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the website is not limited to data on Sida’s activities. The data presented in Openaid is based on statistics and disbursements from all Swedish government agencies and ministries that handle funds within Expenditure Area 7: International Development Cooperation.
A transparency guarantee was introduced to Swedish development assistance in 2010. This guarantee means that public documentation and public information about Swedish aid are actively made available on the website openaid.se.
The purpose of Openaid is to provide greater insight into Swedish aid. This is achieved by gathering data from diverse sources on a single website.
There are several benefits to transparent development cooperation. Sweden is a leading donor with a long tradition of openness. Democracy and human rights are unequivocal priorities of Swedish development cooperation. The objective of transparent development cooperation is to combat poverty as effectively as possible. This objective can be achieved by opening aid to public scrutiny.
