The two primary aims of the journal Currents are to provide current information on rural development activities, mainly those supported by Swedish aid, and to highlight current issues in Swedish and international rural development cooperation.
Our intended readers are former, present and future individuals and organizations involved in Swedish rural development cooperation. Hopefully, counterparts and members of the general public interested in rural development should also find Currents worthwhile to read.
Currents was financed by Sida, published three times per year and distributed in nearly 4000 copies. Back copies can be obtained on request.
