Background & Purpose

The government wanted to move money used for security enhancements for civil society organizations from one budget area to another. Parliament found that there was not enough background information provided to justify changing where the money is accounted for.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament rejected the government's proposal to shift money between budget areas, meaning the funding stays where it has been since the grant was introduced.

Does this affect you?

  • Civil society organizations: Organizations receiving state grants for security measures will continue to have their funding administered through the existing budget area without any disruption.
  • Government agencies: Must keep tracking the security grant funds under the original budget category instead of updating their systems for a new area.

In Practice

  • Funding for civil society security measures remains under its current budget category.
  • No administrative changes are made to how the state budget tracks these specific organizational grants.
  • Organizations receiving the security grants will notice no difference in how their funding is categorized.
