Benjamin Dousa announced that the Swedish government is drastically overhauling its foreign aid strategy by cutting aid to some African countries and reallocating funds to Ukraine.Swedish embassies in Bolivia, Liberia, and Zimbabwe will close, phasing out their aid by August 31 next year, while aid to Tanzania and Mozambique will also decrease, lowering Sweden's total aid budget to 53 billion SEK in 2026.This shift aims to streamline aid efforts despite criticism from organizations like Save the Children, which warn the cuts threaten vital health and education services in Africa and could increase influence from Russia and China.
