Objectives
Expected results 2024: The programme as a whole will contribute to global sustainable development. The scholarship holders are expected to use their knowledge, insights, tools and networks in the work for sustainable development where they are. In this way, organizations/institutions have an improved access to skilled labor in specific areas – which leads to an increased capacity in low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda. Within 1-3 years, the programme is expected to contribute to organisations in partner countries having improved access to a skilled and equal workforce in relevant areas. Within 3-5 years, the programme is expected to contribute to an increased capacity of low- and middle-income countries to implement the 2030 Agenda and thus contribute to global sustainable development Expected immediate results The performance-related effects are that these change agents, through a university education and participation in NFGP, gain knowledge, insights, tools and a larger network. That they gain contacts and exchange experiences with other change agents and that they are strengthened in their leadership skills. The immediate/performance-related effects are as follows: • Awarded scholarship holders undergo and complete their studies at advanced level in Sweden. • Individuals are given tools to better contribute to global development • Individuals gain contacts and exchange of experience with other change agents. Expected results 2025: The Swedish Institute scholarship programme should according to the governing Strategy for innovation, partnership and capacity development 2024–2028 strengthen the capacity of relevant actors who can contribute to sustainable development in development countries through education. A prerequisite for this is that the selected scholarship holders are qualified to carry out and complete qualitative education on master’s level at Swedish universities. After completed master’s studies in Sweden, the scholarship holders are expected to have strengthened their abilities and capacity to contribute to sustainable development. This through employment in key positions in the private sector, public sector, academia or civil society in their home countries and that they use the knowledge and competences they gained through studies in Sweden to address societal challenges through innovative and effective measures.
Förväntade resultat 2024: Programmet i stort ska bidra till en global hållbar utveckling. Stipendiaterna förväntas använda sina kunskaper, insikter, verktyg och nätverk i arbetet för en hållbar utveckling där de befinner sig. På så sätt har organisationer/institutioner en förbättrad tillgång till kvalificerad arbetskraft inom särskilda områden – vilket leder till en ökad kapacitet i låg- och medel-inkomstländer att genomföra Agenda 2030. Inom 1–3 år förväntas programmet bidra till att organisationer i partnerländerna har förbättrad tillgång till kvalificerad och jämställd arbetskraft inom relevanta områden. Inom 3–5 år förväntas programmet bidra till en ökad kapacitet hos låg- och medelinkomstländer att genomföra Agenda 2030 och därmed bidra till en globalt hållbar utveckling Förväntade omedelbara resultat De prestationsnära effekterna är att dessa förändringsaktörer, genom en högskoleutbildning och deltagande i NFGP, får kunskaper, insikter, verktyg och ett större nätverk. Att de får kontakter och erfarenhetsutbyten med andra förändringsaktörer samt att de stärks i sin ledarskapsförmåga. De omedelbara/prestationsnära effekterna är följande: •Beviljade stipendiater genomgår och slutför sina studier på avancerad nivå i Sverige. •Individerna får verktyg för att bättre kunna bidra till en global utveckling •Individerna får kontakter och erfarenhetsutbyten med andra förändringsaktörer. Förväntade resultat 2025: Svenska institutets stipendieprogram ska enligt Strategin för Innovation, Partnerskap och Kapacitetsutveckling (2024-2028) stärka kompetensen hos relevanta aktörer som genom utbildning kan bidra till en hållbar utveckling i utvecklingsländer. En grundförutsättning för att uppnå detta är att stipendiaterna som väljs ut i programmet är kvalificerade att genomföra och slutföra kvalitativ utbildning på mastersnivå vid svenska universitet. Vidare förväntas stipendiaterna efter genomförd masterutbildning i Sverige få stärkt förmåga och kompetens att bidra till hållbar utveckling. Detta genom anställning inom näringsliv, offentlig sektor, akademi eller civilsamhälle i sina hemländer samt att de använder kunskapen för att ta sig an samhällsutmaningar genom effektiva och innovativa metoder.
