The strategy will complement and strengthen other components of development assistance in conflict countries and areas with a high risk of conflict. Particular emphasis will be placed on coherence with bilateral and regional strategies related to contexts of conflict. Interventions guided by the strategy will be coordinated with relevant missions abroad and contribute to overall Swedish development cooperation in prioritised countries. In addition, the strategy will make it possible to promote the Government’s priorities in peace promotion, security and stabilisation in countries or situations where engagement is politically motivated but where there is no applicable country strategy.
Update
The strategy was updated on 28 May 2026 in connection with the Government’s decision to amend certain strategies within the development cooperation. The update was made in light of the decision on a new strategy for the Folke Bernadotte Academy’s (FBA) work on peace and security promotion for the period 2026–2031. As a result, FBA’s mandate under the Strategy no longer applied.
