SAIIA core support 2021-2025 SAIIA kärnstöd 2021-2025 The South African Institute for International Affairs (SAIIA) is a nongovernmental
research-focused think tank established in 1934 with the mandate to encourage wider
and informed awareness, debate and analysis on international affairs. Its overarching
goal is to contribute to “a well-governed, peaceful, economically sustainable and globally
engaged Africa”.
To achieve this, the Institute conducts evidence-based policy research and engages
national, regional and international policymakers on policy formulation. It also builds
capacity of national, regional, continental and non-state actors to engage with respective
governments and African governance institutions.
Sida has since 2005 been a partner to the SAIIA. Sida continued its collaboration with
SAIIA by providing core support during the strategy period 2016-2021. The most recent
core agreement will come to an end in December 2021.

The overall goal of SAIIA is to contribute towards a well-governed, peaceful,
economically sustainable and globally engaged Africa.
Under this overall goal are four key result areas (KRA), each with their own expected
outcomes, as follows:
KRA 1. Contribute to strengthening governance, stability and accountability in
Africa within the framework of key African and global governance mechanisms
and initiatives with a specific focus on the APRM.
KRA 2. Contribute towards enhanced climate change resilience and green
economic development in Africa in a manner that enables a just transition.
KRA 3. Contribute to sustainable and inclusive economic growth and resilience in
Africa by pursuing greater economic integration through processes such as the
AfCFTA and harnessing the opportunities offered by the Digital Economy in
support of greater social inclusion.
KRA 4. Contribute to building more effective African agency on new geopolitical
and normative challenges in regional and multilateral fora, including the G20,
as well as its external partnerships.
The primary target group of SAIIA’s research outputs and engagements are African
policymakers at the national, regional and continental levels. Other target groups include
policy makers responsible for policymaking with an impact on Africa in international
organisations such as the European Union, various UN bodies, the OECD, BRICS, the
WTO and the G20. SAIIA also actively engages foreign governments that are involved
in Africa such as European states, China, Brazil, the US, Russia and India. Finally,
SAIIA targets the African media both as a dissemination channel of its research findings
but also to build its capacity in areas within SAIIA's expertise. South African Institute for International Affairs (SAIIA) är en icke-statlig researchfokuserad tankesmedja som grundades 1934 med uppdraget att uppmuntra bredare och informerad medvetenhet, debatt och analys om internationella angelägenheter. Dess övergripande mål är att bidra till "ett välstyrt, fredligt, ekonomiskt hållbart och globalt engagerat Afrika".

För att uppnå detta bedriver institutet evidensbaserad policyforskning och engagerar
nationella, regionala och internationella beslutsfattare i policyutformning. Institutet bygger också kapacitet hos nationella, regionala, kontinentala och icke-statliga
aktörer för att de ska kunna engagera sig med respektive regeringar och afrikanska
styrelseinstitutioner.

SAIIA har varit en Sida-partner sedan 2005. Sida fortsatte sitt samarbete med SAIIA genom att ge kärnstöd under strategiperioden
2016-2021. Det senaste kärnavtalet löper ut i december 2021. SAIIA har ansökt om fortsatt kärnstöd om totalt 37 miljoner kronor för att under perioden 2021-2025 genomföra sin verksamhet. Det ansökta årliga beloppet är
9.25 miljoner kronor. SAIIAs föreslagna program ligger väl i linje med Sveriges strategi
för regionalt utvecklingssamarbete med Afrika söder om Sahara. Bidraget till denna insats bedöms strategiskt då det stärker pågående arbete med forskning på frågor som är aktuella förr den afrikanska kontinenten med syfte att informera och påverka beslutsfattare och på sikt bidra till ett Afrika präglat av god samhällsstyrning, fred och ekonomisk hållbarhet. Initiativet uppfyller Sidas bedömningskriterier. The overall goal of SAIIA is to contribute towards a well-governed, peaceful, economically sustainable and globally engaged Africa.
