Background & Purpose

Riksrevisionen audited how the government, Sida, and EBA follow up and evaluate the results of Swedish international aid to ensure money is spent effectively.

Proposals & Debate

The government agreed with the audit's findings, acknowledging that while evaluations work well in parts, reporting to parliament needs to be clearer and more transparent.

The Decision

Parliament took note of the government's report and closed the matter without introducing any new laws or rules.

Does this affect you?

  • Politicians and parliamentarians: They rely on clear reports to oversee how international aid funds are used.
  • Aid organizations and authorities: They must adapt to ongoing demands for better transparency and result tracking.

In Practice

  • Parliament receives the government's report on how aid evaluations are handled
  • The government continues its ongoing work to fix identified shortcomings in reporting
  • No immediate law changes or new requirements are introduced for the public
