Fair and sustainable development
Diakonia’s goal is a fair and sustainable development in which living standards for the most vulnerable people are improved, and democracy, human rights and gender equality are respected. The starting point for this is the gospel with Jesus as the role model and, based on this, our policy.
Diakonia’s strength
Diakonia does not carry out any projects of its own, but supports local partners. As these organisations are already present and well established, the long term development work becomes more effective. Diakonia’s strength is our partner organisations. They work tirelessly according to their beliefs, through actions for a worthy future.

Funding

Diakonia also has funding from the EU, embassies and other international organisations for specific projects.
Our Swedish support base

Members of these congregations still form Diakonia’s support base. The support base also includes local and regional Diakonia representatives, groups of young volonteers, activists and many individuals. They work with spreading information and carrying out campaigns for Diakonia as well as doing fund raising activities.
