Democracy and Human Rights

Sammanfattning

Democratic change and improved respect for human rights are essential for people living in poverty and under oppression, by enabling them to influence their living conditions and hold governments accountable. Only one third of the world’s population is today living under such conditions. In recent years a trend towards more authoritarian forms of governance has been seen globally. Sida contributes to the protection of democracy and continued democratisation through its programmes and projects in the thematic area of Democracy and Human Rights, which amounted to SEK 6.4 billion in 2023. This makes democracy and human rights Sida’s largest thematic area, equivalent to approximately 26 percent of Sida’s total disbursements.
