SI Ukraine Cooperation Programme

The Swedish Institute invites Swedish organisations and their partners in Ukraine to apply for funding to jointly implement projects aimed at supporting Ukraine's reconstruction, reform efforts, and EU integration. This call focuses on innovation ecosystems, transparency, and gender equality. The programme is aimed at actors in Sweden and their partners in Ukraine. Projects that are granted support are expected to contribute to strengthened capacity within organisations, as well as increased competence, including broadened networks and new knowledge for individuals. The programme is implemented within the framework of the government's Strategy for Sweden's reconstruction and reform cooperation with Ukraine 2023–2027. Projects should strengthen organisational capacity, foster new competencies, enable knowledge exchange, and build lasting partnerships between Sweden and Ukraine. Applicants can design their projects within three overarching focus areas: Innovation Ecosystems; Transparency, accountability and anti-corruption; or Gender equality. Two types of grants are available: Project preparation grants (SEK 100,000-200,000) for initiating cooperation, and Cooperation projects (SEK 1,000,000-2,000,000) for activating existing partnerships.
