Preparatory (pre-core) support Artemida 2019 Preparatory (pre-core) support Artemida 2019 Artemida is a non-governmental organization that manages a center (shelter) for victims of domestic violence. The pre-core support granted for organisation is a simplified contribution which aims at supporting the organization to develop its internal capacities and policies. 

During pre-core support phase Artemida will implement priority recommendations provided by the Nordic Consulting Group in the system-based audit report produced in 2018. Therefore, it will develop institutional capacities, internal routines, staff knowledge and skills to be able to implement core-support activities. Based on a follow-up report on pre-core activities to be conducted tentatively in December 2019, Sida may consider continuing with core-support with Artemida based on the Strategic Plan, RAF and strategic budget developed during pre-core support.

The intervention total budget is 324 000 SEK. Artemida är en enskild organisation som sköter ett center – ett skyddsboende för offer för våld i hemmet. Det förberedande kärnstödet för enskilda organisationer Artemida bereds som en förenklad insats. Syftet med det förberedande kärnstödet är att stärka organisationens kapacitet och utveckla deras interna regelverk.

Artemida kommer under denna första fas av stödet (innan kärnstöd) att genomföra de prioriterade rekommendationerna från Nordic Consulting Group presenterade i den systembaserade revisionsrapporten som gjordes 2018. Artemida utvecklar institutionell kapacitet, interna rutiner, personalkunskaper och andra färdigheter för att kunna genomföra kärnstödsaktiviteter. Baserat på en kommande uppföljningsrapport som avser aktiviteter under denna första fas (rapport tas preliminärt fram i december 2019) kan Sida sedan överväga att fortsätta med kärnstöd till Artemida baserat på en strategisk plan, resultatram och den strategiska budgeten som utvecklats inför kärnstödet. 

Insatsens totala budget uppgår till 324 000 SEK. As a result of the SBA, Artemida engaged in an organisational development process to implement the recommendations. To facilitate this process the Swedish Embassy entered into a pre-core support grant agreement with Artemida in May 2019, provided trainings and individual mentoring support during the autumn 2019 through a framework contract with Swedish Development Advisers (SDA).
During the pre-core support period Artemida has worked to implement the 16 key recommendations from the SBA. The work encompassed revision of Artemida’s Strategic plan for 2020 – 23, development of a RAF and a three-year strategic budget, development and revision of some internal policies and regulations, development of operative templates and an Annual Results Report for 2018. 
During the autumn 2019, the Artemida team participated in three training events organised by SDA in:
 1) Strategic planning, RAF and Results Based Management (RBM), 
2) Sida’s cross-cutting perspectives and 
3) Good governance, anti-corruption and audits. 
Artemida thereafter tried to apply the learnings gained in the process of implementing the recommendations. In addition, two rounds of mentoring were conducted during the same period, each one for 1,5 - 2 days.
