SLU’s involvement

SLU participates in several capacity development projects aiming to enhance the human, scientific, technological, institutional and resource capabilities of our partners in different parts of the world. Such projects are financed by several funding organisations including the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the European Union (EU), the Swedish Research Council Formas, the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet), the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) institutes, and others.

Sida is the predominant source of funding of capacity development projects and SLU's participation is mainly through cooperation projects within bilateral programmes with partners in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and South East Asia.
