Swedfund’s goal: A world without poverty

As a development finance institution, our mission is to help reduce poverty by making sustainable investments in developing countries. This means that we contribute to the creation of more jobs with decent working conditions and improve access to socially important products and services, such as renewable energy and health. This is our contribution to building vital communities.

The pandemic which swept across the world in 2020 has led to an increase in poverty in many countries. A multidimensional crisis requires a  multidimensional response. Development finance institutions have become increasingly relevant and our work is pivotal in the efforts being made to accelerate a sustainable recovery and inclusive growth. If you would like to find out what this work involves, you will find the answer here in our Integrated Report 2020.
