The Swedish Development Aid Organization (SWEDO)

SWEDO was founded in Stockholm, in 1991 as a Swedish not-for-profit, non-governmental humanitarian aid organization. As of 2022, SWEDO works in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine, with plans to expand to other areas to support people in need. The aims of the organization are to provide humanitarian assistance, promote peace through developmental and rehabilitation projects, support economic and social development, improve human rights and assist in the improvement of local governance structures. Through this holistic programme, SWEDO aims to provide long-term and sustainable solutions to the challenges faced by communities, but also to enhance the capacity of all stakeholders, promoting local resilience as the key strategy for reducing the reliance on the international community.
