The following questions shall guide the study:

  • To what extent and how have Swedish aid made a clear difference in relation to Sweden’s objective to strengthen capacity and service delivery of state institutions in fragile and conflict affected countries?
  • Which factors, circumstances or mechanisms explain goal fulfilment or failure?
