Priority areas of the partnership
Health is a thematic priority of Sweden’s framework for development cooperation. Sweden prioritizes health promotion and preventive health programs, sustainable health care systems and early warning systems for communicable diseases.
The Swedish government renewed its support for and cooperation with the Global Fund with an updated strategy for 2019-2023. The strategy entails cooperation on achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, equal health, and sexual and reproductive health and rights. The shared objective is to stop the epidemics, contribute to more sustainable health systems in countries and ensure that all people enjoy their basic human rights and gender equality.
The Global Fund plays an important strategic role in Sweden's contribution to 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
