SIDA FUNDING OF ISP DRASTICALLY REDUCED!

From the agreed 35 million SEK/year to 15 million SEK in 2023, 10 million in 2024 and 7 million in 2025.

This will severely affect already awarded grants to groups and networks. It’s an immense challenge for us all.

[Johanna Teague @SweAmbRwanda]

Fantastic to celebrate the many women of the @URSwedenProgram.
