Entries Open for The Swedish Institute Creative Partnerships Programme for civil society, culture and media organizations

The Swedish Institute (SI) Creative Partnerships Programme provides funding to Swedish organizations and their international partners in civil society, culture, and the media. This program aims to support projects that promote democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression.

Creative Partnerships is a new initiative that replaces the Creative Force program. It is open to Swedish organizations and their project partners in our target countries. The funded projects should contribute to creating better conditions for democratic development and respect for human rights and freedom of expression in the countries covered by the program.

Eligibility

To be eligible for funding, the main applicant must be a Swedish organization from civil society or the public or private sectors. You must apply with a project partner in one or more of the target countries. Your organization must be registered as a legal entity in Sweden and have been registered for at least two years. Your project partner(s) can be formal or informal cultural actors, networks of journalists, or other types of media organizations in the target country. They can also be found in civil society or the public or private sectors.

Target groups

The target group of your project should be agents of change, opinion makers, and drivers of democratic development in the target country. These can be influential leaders in civil society, the business sector, education, culture, the media, and public administration. They should specifically be individuals who have the ability to bring about change in the organizations or sectors they work in.

You can find your project’s target group in your project partner organization(s) in the target country(s) or in other organizations/networks in the target country(s) that participate in the project.
