The global geopolitical landscape is becoming increasingly precarious: the interests of the great powers are more and more at odds, there are more armed conflicts and greater humanitarian need. In times such as this, evaluation and time for learning are important aids to getting our bearings.
Like the EBA’s other activities, the 2026 Aid Review is intended to help improve and develop Swedish aid by guiding future strategies and priorities. During the past year, among other things EBA has published studies of effective long-term solutions to protracted refugee situations, how Swedish bilateral aid has helped to strengthen healthcare systems, synergies between climate finance and trade, and China’s role as a global development actor. The EBA Aid Review 2026 provides a summary of these and other contributions to the knowledge base.
The EBA Aid Review 2026 is available in two different formats: as an accessible PDF and as a printed magazine. Both formats are available in both Swedish and English.
If you would like to order the report as a printed magazine, please email your order to ud.eba@gov.se
