They specify the budgets, the countries with which Sweden - and thereby Sida - is to work with, and the focus of Swedish international development cooperation. The Director General is the head of Sida and has the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the decisions of Parliament and the Government are executed. The Director General also makes decisions at the overall level in respect of Sida's organisation, including the appointment of managers at Sida and counsellors for development cooperation at the embassies.

The Nordic Africa Institute (Nordiska Afrikainstitutet) is a center for research, documentation and information on modern Africa in the Nordic region. Based in Uppsala, Sweden, the Institute is dedicated to providing timely, critical and alternative research and analysis of Africa in the Nordic countries and to co-operation between African and Nordic researchers. As a hub and a meeting place in the Nordic region for a growing field of research and analysis the Institute strives to put knowledge of African issues within reach for scholars, policy makers, politicians, media, students and the general public. The Institute is financed jointly by the Nordic countries Finland, Iceland and Sweden.

The Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES) is a research institute at Stockholm University. Founded in 1962, it has become one of the leading institutions in Europe in advanced research in economics, broadly defined. The mission of the IIES condenses the three broad goals of Stockholm University at a top level: to train PhD economists, conduct cutting-edge research, and actively engage in high-level public policy discussions in Sweden and beyond. The three aims of the IIES are tightly interconnected. For the training of future PhDs and for ensuring that any policy advice is updated and based on sound empirical and theoretical grounds, an ongoing close engagement with the international research frontier is necessary. To this end, the IIES researchers themselves engage in research projects aimed at broad international impact. The PhD students based at the IIES are an integral part of its research environment. A defining feature of the PhD training, which is part of a Stockholm-wide program involving other institutions, is to encourage the students to take on ambitious and challenging questions of broad value to society. Upon graduation, IIES’s students go on to tenure-track jobs at academic universities worldwide or positions in government and other organizations. The list of leading Swedish decision makers with an IIES background is long. The IIES has a global aim with its research. However, its international profile is broader than that. A significant fraction of the faculty as well as PhD students, along with visiting seminar speakers and researchers, come from a wide variety of countries. The working language at the IIES is English.

STINT, the Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education, was set up in 1994 by an act of the Swedish Parliament. Its mission is to promote internationalization of Swedish higher education and research. The Foundation offers a range of funding and scholarship programmes in support of strategic internationalization at higher education institutions. It is also an actor with competence and knowledge relating to international academic collaboration. STINT's aims are to: - enhance the competitiveness of higher education institutions; - assist Swedish higher education institutions in developing into attractive scholarly environments for Swedish and foreign researchers, teaching staff and students; - stimulate change through new or alternative means of international collaboration. STINT regards international contacts and real experience of working in foreign academia as a natural and necessary part of research and higher education.

Founded in Geneva in September 1996,the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD) operated until December 2018, with the aim to influence the international trade system such that it advanced the goal of sustainable development. As an independent, non-profit, and non-governmental organization, ICTSD engaged a broad range of actors in ongoing dialogue on trade and sustainable development policy. In advancing its mission, the Centre became a leading broker of knowledge and information on trade policy and sustainable development. With a global network of governmental, non-governmental, and inter-governmental partners, ICTSD played a unique, systemic role as a provider of original, non-partisan reporting and facilitation services. ICTSD advanced trade policy that supports sustainable development by structuring interaction between policy-makers and key influencers often excluded from policymaking processes. ICTSD helped parties better understand the technical and political contexts that underlie their interests and the interests of those with whom they interact on policy issues. In this way, ICTSD builded bridges between groups with seemingly disparate agendas, enabling them to identify and progress on issues where their interests and priorities coincide.
