For many years, so-called developing countries have
been associated with famine and poverty. Today, there
is a real sense of hope and widespread optimism, and
report after report tells of rapid economic growth. Po-
verty has declined and the combination of awareness
and knowledge has meant that all the more people are
starting to understand and demand their rights.
But the situation is a multifaceted one, and the of-
ten positive picture pales against the background of
sharply growing income dispari-
ties and widening divisions both
within and between nations.
In many countries when un-
democratic forces have taken root
and violence and conficts conti-
nue unabated, civil society is fn-
ding itself increasingly unable to
act and grow. Democratic growth
is not as fast as the economic, and
many of the countries reporting
high growth fgures are way down
the global democracy barometers
and lagging in their observance of
human rights. Ensuring that eco-
nomic growth benefts all of society, brings stability and
improves the lot of people living in poverty is an im-
mense challenge.
This is where civil society organisations (CSOs)
have much important work to do. We have to stay one
step ahead and fnd new ways of supporting of hu-
man rights and sustainable development in spite of
these anti-democratic forces. To do this, we need the
determination and ability to develop methods and ap-
proaches that keep pace with the changing world.
It is wonderful to see what hundreds of organisations
around the world can achieve in the face of adversity with
the support of Forum Syd. When we travelled to Kenya
and Tanzania recently, we met so many people whose li-
ves were changing for the better because they had banded
together to demand their rights. Equally importantly, the
local politicians we met were shouldering their respon-
sibilities to effect change and genuinely engaging with
the projects. We met women and men who spoke with
pride about the school that was built in the village a
right that they had collectively demanded and that
means that many of the local children can now
learn to read and write. In another village we met
people who made sure that the local autho-
rities repaired their water pump and
distributed the scarce resource fairly
something that, apart from being
an essential right, also means that
they can use their valuable time
for other important work. This
leads to sustainable rights-based
development and is what we re-
fer to as intelligent aid.
The world is changing

cracy barometers

Democracy and human rights, equality and the sustai-
nable use of natural resources form the bedrock of deve-
lopment and change. These rights are closely intertwined
and mutually impacting. Equality is needed for democracy
to fourish and for human rights to be respected and rea-
lised. People need access to fresh water and the ability to
work the land and use the Earths natural resources respon-
sibly in order to survive and take control of their lives. It is
from this awareness that Forum Syd draws the energy for all
the work we do around the world.
When people become aware of their fundamental
rights and are supported in their organisation, the solution
to their problems and the impetus to bring about change are
often found within themselves. These are the people whom
Forum Syd supports.
Either directly or through the resources it channels to
Swedish NGOs, Forum Syd works together with over 500
partner organisations the world over. These partnerships
create mutual learning and make it easier for us all to meet
the challenges facing us.
As people become more rights-aware, they start to de-
mand that their politicians and leaders guarantee and rea-
lise their civil rights. It is only when the powerholders act
responsibly in this way that sustainable, lasting results are
achieved, results that help to bring about permanent change
in society and for the people it comprises. This is what we
call intelligent aid.
Forum Syd supports projects in 68 countries, and has
offces in Colombia, Cambodia, Kenya, Tanzania and Ko-
sovo as well as an offce in Lithuania for our operations in
Belarus. We have also partnered with Swedish-Somali orga-
nisations to help the country rebuild itself and develop.
Forum Syd is proud of the many great achievements of
the organisations we support and their partners. Millions of
people around the world are organising and becoming incre-
asingly interested in their rights. Because of this, many more
have access to education and healthcare, enjoy freedom of
expression and the right to own and work the land. In Cam-
bodia, for example, local agitation has earned hundreds of
families the long-awaited legal right to own and use the land
on which they have lived for generations. In Kosovo, young
women and men are much more involved in decision-making
processes, which has given them greater infuence over muni-
cipal youth policy and, in the long run, their own futures.
Forum Syd empowers people to effect change.
The intelligent aid
To us its obvious: a lack of development is the same as a lack of
rights. When people join together to claim their rights and take control
of their lives, democracy grows and common resources are shared
more fairly, all of which helps to reduce poverty.

The aim of the project is to help more young women
and men become involved in their community by making
it possible for their voices to be heard in important deci-
sions. One of them is Selpha Akiny, who has taken part in
a leadership programme for young women. She says that
the training changed her life, and today she lives for her
dream to grow as a leader so that one day she can repre-
sent women in a way that will beneft the whole of society.
The project gave me the training I needed to develop
my skills, and the opportunity to help others.
Thanks to her involvement in the project, Selpha has
managed to encourage other young women to take part
in different local development programmes and helped to
improve the representation of women on decision-making
bodies and committees. As a result, growing numbers of
decision-makers are now aware of the skills and abilities the
women possess. Selpha says that they acknowledge women
more and invite their opinions on important issues, such as
how young people and women can become more strategi-
cally important and more involved in decision-making.
This wouldnt have been possible without the sup-
port I had from Forum Syd and Youth Alive! says Selpha.
Before that I used to have problems and couldnt claim
my rights on my own.
More young people want
to help make a diference
For many years, Forum Syd and its local partner organisations
have been running the Jua Jimbo (Know your country) project
in Kenyas Kakemega province.

The Youth Advocacy Process (YAP) and the Youth
Forum (YF) are running a change project in Lebanon
with the support of LSU (the National Council of Swe-
dish Youth Organisations) and Forum Syd. Their aim is
for young people to have greater infuence and to be re-
spected as an important resource for society.
Since Lebanon is divided up between different po-
litical and religious groups, we have to work in the right
way, prioritise very carefully and take things one step at a
time, says Rania Sabaayou at YAP, adding that since the
youth organisations are considered religiously and politi-
cally neutral, their proposals can be discussed in society
without causing too much tension.
The very precarious political situation in the country
and the recent escalation of violence is a major challenge
to their work. Despite this, however, YAP and YF have
managed to convince the government to adopt a youth
policy with 136 recommendations on fve themes: demo-
graphy and migration; economy and labour; education
and culture; social integration and political participation;
and health.
Participants from almost 500 organisations from dif-
ferent sectors of society worked together for years to
draft the policy. The anchorage and quality this assured
was essential to the policy being respected.
We wouldnt have got the policy through without
it, says Rania Sabaayou. But its equally important, if
not more so, that there are now 45 different organisa-
tions working together in a youth council and that the
politicians now want to hear what we have to say. Before
this they never had time to talk to us.
Using the policy as a platform, the Lebanese Youth
Council produced a range of legislative proposals on job
creation and housing, as well as on reducing the voting
age. So far, it has managed to bring it down from 25 to
21. Another of the proposals focuses on improving the
quality of education by introducing new teaching met-
hods with more critical thinking and special programmes
for research and development linked to the university.
The youth council
has gained infuence
In Lebanon, young people have made the government adopt a
youth policy and reduce the voting age. They have also drafed
diferent laws to create more housing and better schooling and to
reduce youth unemployment.

The Swallows Association for Social Voluntary
Service in Latin America, one of the organisations
supported by Forum Syd, has been working with three
local partners on the Suma Thaki programme. Suma
Thaki means on the right track in Aymara, and is a
programme designed to improve the future prospects of
children and young people by providing school support,
teaching children about their rights and helping to im-
prove family relations.
The project has also involved courses for parents, and
the work has included teaching about sexual rights, sexual
health and family planning.
To improve conditions for school pupils of all ages,
the Suma Thaki programme has signed agreements with
eighteen schools so that they can have extra pedagogical
support and education on sexual health. The teachers have
also been trained in new teaching methods.
One of the local organisations is Chasqui, which runs
a youth centre in El Alto.
Mariela Portugal Rivas herself arrived at the centre as
a child, and is now one of its leaders.
We encourage the children to identify with their Ay-
mara roots and many are now aware of their rights, says
Mariela. Chasqui helps children to understand political
and social phenomena in society, and why discrimination
still exists.
When social and cultural patterns start to change,
the lives of children and their families improve. Children
and young people are more self-confdent and less afraid.
They are able to develop their skills and abilities and take
more responsibility for themselves and their studies. The
domestic situation has also changed, with less violence and
confict thanks to a more constructive dialogue between
children and their parents. Women also have more self-
esteem and men now take more responsibility for their
children, sexual health and family planning.
Violence is decreasing, bit by bit
In El Alto, a suburb of Las Paz in Bolivia, poverty is widespread,
with children and young people being particularly at risk. Vio-
lence at school and in the home is ofen all too real, and many
young people are in danger of ending up on the streets.

Womens rights and
sexual violence against
women and children are
priority issues for many
CSOs in Bolivia. Despite
having the support of the
government in recent
years and a new law on
violence in the home,
seven out of ten Bolivian
women say that they
have suffered violence at
the hands of their partners.

In Ihayabuyaga, a popularly elected review committee
has been formed that, by producing the relevant data and ar-
ranging meetings and Q&A sessions with those responsible,
made politicians and authorities realise that healthcare in the
area was so poor that it was in breach of the law.The resour-
ces available were meagre and the 10,000 or so residents only
had access to a single rudimentary clinic with a handful of
beds, and to reach the closest hospital the sick and pregnant
had to travel long distances. This caused a great deal of suf-
fering and many infant deaths. Now a new health centre has
been built and healthcare has improved thanks to the efforts
of the locals, who tackled the problem and demanded better
healthcare of the decision-makers responsible.
Anythings possible if the need and will are there, and
now we dont have to walk long distances any more, says
Joseph Kayanda, one of those involved in the project.
Knowledge of rights
improves healthcare
In Tanzania, Forum Syd works with rights awareness so that
people can infuence decisions and monitor how politicians
and authorities implement decisions on essential social services.

India is just one country where disabled children and
their parents can be discriminated against and treated as
outcasts. In the state of Odisha the Adoption Centre and
its partner OLS (Open Learning System) have created so-
cial networks for such children and their parents through
parent groups and teams that provide support and advice.
They also work with attitude change out in the vil-
lages so that children and young people can be integrated
into society and have their rights respected. So far, 140
disabled children are able to attend school just like other
children.
The partnership has also led to the creation of several
parent networks that focus on spreading information and
advocating decision-makers on childrens rights to educa-
tion and other rights. Over 600 children now receive bene-
fts and scholarships.
Education for all children
With its partner organisations in several countries and support
from Forum Syd, the Adoption Centre works to reduce discrimi-
nation against orphaned children or children who are at risk of
becoming parentless. It is especially important to strengthen the
rights of children living with HIV or a disability.

Global fnancial structures facilitate capital and tax
fight from poor countries, and add to the obstacles pre-
venting countries from escaping poverty. The capital fight
from poor countries amounts to ten times total global aid.
Land and natural resources in poor countries have be-
come increasingly attractive for multinational companies,
amongst others, and the lack of rights to land and water
make it diffcult for people to subsist. Environmental de-
gradation and climate change, which are largely caused by
the wealthier countries, affect the poorest people the most.
Inequality means that many women and young people
around the world are oppressed, which retards their
countys development.
These important issues, which are a matter of life and
death for people in poor countries, are affected by the po-
licies pursued in Sweden and the EU in several different
policy felds.
Consequently, Forum Syd works to raise the level
of knowledge and engagement as regards these issues,
and to advocate the powerholders in Sweden and the
EU on these crucial challenges. It is very much the re-
sponsibility of the rich countries to create a sustaina-
ble and fairer world in which everyone is able to live a
decent life.
Advocacy
Forum Syds advocacy work draws energy from what our
partners and their members consider vital issues, creating
space for the exchange of experience and for active part-
nerships, and giving them a voice in arenas to which they
might never have had access before.
Raising knowledge and involvement in
Sweden and the EU
In order to raise the level of knowledge and involvement,
Forum Syd arranges seminars and open meetings with the
participation of our partners, member organisations, poli-
ticians and experts.
Landgrabbing is one of the issues that Forum Syd
brought to the forefront in 2013. When large companies
exploit land that people have been cultivating for genera-
tions, people who are already living in poverty are denied
their only means of subsistence and sink deeper into po-
verty. This is the result of irresponsible conduct; while en-
terprise is an important driver of development, it must be
pursued responsibly. During the year we held several se-
minars and wrote numerous articles on landgrabbing with
the close cooperation of our country offce in Cambodia,
and had the issue raised in the EU in connection with its
handling of trade agreements.
Smarter channels become a tool for
greater global democracy
The way we communicate is changing rapidly in the new
digital society, and it is possible now to spread informa-
tion and integrate with others with unprecedented ease.
These developments open up new ways of working suc-
cessfully with advocacy around the world.
In Kenya, Forum Syds text-messaging service in Ki-
kou Simu municipality has been voted one of the best IT
solutions of the year for helping those normally unable
to exert infuence or acquire civic information to gain ac-
cess to the facts and fgures they need to discuss vital is-
sues. In this way, Forum Syd helps entitle people to know
their rights and to act on their own behalf. Forum Syd
has the power to effect change.
Forum Syd advocates for
a just and sustainable world
More than anyone, people living in poverty are afected by and
at risk from the global challenges we all face, challenges that
demand change in the policies being pursued in Sweden, the EU
and other wealthy countries.

For developing countries with weak economies, com-
bating tax fight is a question of survival, as tax revenue is
needed for vital investments in key areas such as healthcare,
infrastructure, and agriculture.
In recent years, an increasing number of countries
have realised the scale of the problem, and in 2013 the
issue of tax and capital fight was given more priority by
the G20 group and the EU. Forum Syds part in this has
been to push the demands and perspectives of developing
countries onto the agenda.
During the autumn, Forum Syd joined twelve other or-
ganisations from as many EU countries to launch the Tax
Solidarity Week campaign, which is an annual event to draw
attention to tax fight. The campaign was run on social media,
and included the launch of a flm titled Jakten p den fr-
svunna skatten.

The report Giving with one hand and ta-
king with the other: Europes role in tax-related capital fight
from developing countries 2013 was also given considerable
media attention. As a result of the campaign, the issue was
discussed at the Swedish parliaments question time and at a
seminar arranged by the parliamentary tax committee.
In Kenya, Forum Syd has been working with other
organisations to urge the government to put a stop to tax
fight, and in 2013 it mounted its frst successful prosecu-
tion against a multinational company, Karuturi Ltd, for ex-
tensive tax theft.
The worlds poorest
sufer most from tax fight
Every year, developing countries lose at least 1,200 billion
dollars in total capital fight, most of which is tax from businesses.
For every krona of aid that enters these countries, almost ten
disappears in tax and capital fight. During the autumn,
Forum Syd joined twelve
other organisations from
as many EU countries to
launch the Tax Solidarity
Week campaign, which is
an annual event to draw
attention to tax flight.

Forum Syd has operated Globalportalen ever since it
was launched in the early 2000s, and welcomes other orga-
nisations to help it reach a younger audience with a wide va-
riety of issues related to aid and global development. Over
the years, Globalportalen has kept pace with digital develop-
ments and the greater need for new, customised methods of
appealing to the young target audience, who today can fnd
a broad selection of articles and information material not
only on the portal but also on Facebook and Twitter .
In the past three years, the number of visits has risen
by almost sixty percent and the portal continues to grow.
With a new target group analysis behind it, Globalporta-
len is now taking another step forward to align itself with
todays young digital generation and the latest technology.
Globalportalen will be even better at showing that many
organisations are pursuing issues with which young people
wish to engage, and that there are simple ways of beco-
ming active without it costing a penny.
Globalportalen is an important forum for appealing
to young target groups with information thats selected
and adapted just for them, says Noomi Lind from PMU,
one of Globalportalens 54 member organisations. It en-
hances young peoples interest in and knowledge of issues
to do with justice and development.
Globalportalen
educates the young
Young people are crying out for news and information that gives
new, diferent perspectives on aid and global development.
Globalportalen is the go-to website for them and for teachers
also wanting comprehensive and up-to-date information
about these issues.
Globalportalen is ope-
rated by Forum Syd and
is a means by which its
member organisations
can appeal to a younger
audience with issues
related to aid and global
development:

Forum Syd is a platform organisation that strengthens
and complements the activities of its member organisa-
tions, and a forum for exchanging experiences of develop-
ment cooperation methods. Forum Syd is also a platform
for advocacy on aid and global development.
In its dialogue with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs,
public authorities and other powerholders, Forum Syd gi-
ves a voice to its member organisations and their partners
around the world. Membership also means that smaller
organisations can have their voices heard and put forward
issues to the government via letters of comment and par-
ticipation in meetings in which Forum Syd participates.
Forum Syd in partnership and dialogue
with its members
In 2013, Forum Syd arranged numerous seminars and
wrote articles with its member organisations on landgrab-
bing as well as the climate, food supply and alcohol as an
obstacle to development.
In Colombia, we ran an advocacy campaign with Dia-
konia, Peaceworks and other organisations to urge power-
holders at a local and international level to reach a peaceful
resolution to the confict in the country.
In Sweden, Forum Syd is a member of the Swedish
Platform for Colombia along with a dozen other organisa-
tions. The aim of the Swedish Platform for Colombia is to
promote sustainable peace in Columbia by strengthening
democracy, respect for human rights and social justice. We
work to infuence the attitude of the Swedish government
and the EU to human rights and to supporting peacebuil-
ding efforts in Colombia. In 2013 we lobbied together to
ensure that Colombia and Guatemala retained their status
as aid recipients.
Together we have the power to effect change!
A platform for Swedish
aid organisations
Forum Syd has 159 member organisations with a total of 1.6 milli-
on members in Sweden. Together we work for a just and sustaina-
ble world in which all people are empowered to efect change.
Together we are a powerful force, and we know that our work
makes a diference.

7 voices on Forum Syd
Jakaya Kikwete,
President of Tanzania:
Your approach is very po-
sitive, and encourages the
government and citizens
to influence policy, which
is a benefit to society. Well
done, Forum Syd!
Muharrem Asllani,
Project manager of
Health for All-HFA:
Forum Syds Kosovo pro-
gramme is one of a kind. It
has helped to develop ca-
pacity in our organisations,
unlike other organisations
that have supported
this matter on paper but
never done anything
practical about it
Anna Ryott,
Managing director,
Swedfund International:
I cant emphasis enough
the value of the constructi-
ve dialogue we have with
our owners and politicians,
business partners and
aid organisations in civil
society. Swedfund is de-
lighted that Forum Syd has
also been willing recently
to engage in a dialogue,
which demonstrates a
mutual understanding of
each others roles. The
same approach we have
to tax, whereby we now
report country-by-country,
is testimony to the use-
fulness of continuing this
value-creating dialogue.
Ann Svensn,
Secretary General, the
Swedish Organisation for
Individual Relief (IM):
As a new framework
organisation, IM fits right
in to the Forum Syd family.
We believe that Forum Syd
has an important role to
play in gathering together
civil society in Sweden on
issues related to human
rights and resource-sharing
in Swedish development
cooperation and global
policy. This year, many

The Board and Secretary General of Forum Syd hereby submit the following annual report. Organisation identity (ID) number | 802400-7620
Administrative Report
Forum Syd is a non-proft, religiously and politically unafliated umbrella organisation. The
members of Forum Syd are Swedish organisations whose work involves just and sustainable
global development. Forum Syd conducts development cooperation from a rights perspec-
tive. Strong rights and organisation enable local populations to demand change from deci-
sion makers and escape poverty.
Forum Syds vision is:
A just and sustainable world where all people have the power to efect change.
Forum Syds purpose is to:
Strengthen marginalised people around the world who organise to claim their rights
Advocate changes that contribute to a just and sustainable world.
Governance and management
Forum Syds supreme governing body is its annual general
meeting (AGM), where each member organisation has one
vote. The AGM elects the Board, Nomination Committee
and auditors, which are nominated by the member orga-
nisations. The composition of the Board broadly refects
the composition of the member organisations, both in
terms of category and size. The governance and manage-
ment of Forum Syds activities are based on frameworks
established by the AGM in its Plan for Operations. The
organisations operating activities are managed by a Secre-
tary General who reports directly to the Board.
The Board held 10 (8) meetings during the year, of
which minutes were kept. The Board appointed a working
committee (AU) from within its ranks that held 12 (9)
meetings, of which minutes were kept. Board members
will also attend AGMs, member meetings, workshops and
planning days for the operational period 2015 to 2017.
Sample of decisions in 2013: new policy: Alcohol as a
hindrance to development; three revised policies: Forum
Syds Investment Policy, Ethical Policy for Fundraising
and Anti-corruption Policy; update of Responsibility and
Delegation Rules; internal management and control; a code
report in accordance with FRIIs quality code; development
of lottery concept; application to Sida Civsam for 2014 to
2016; application to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs for a
new sub granting programme for diaspora groups.
Member organisations
The AGM had 65 participants from 47 organisations with
38 proxies in total (54 from 43 organisations, 43 proxies).
Four observers were elected as full members, fve were gi-
ven observer status and nine resigned. No organisations
were expelled. There were 159 (163) members (including
new observers) following the AGM.
Decisions made included amendments to the statutes.
One motion was submitted and the AGM resolved in fa-
vour of the party proposing the motion. The AGM adop-
ted a statement urging the Swedish Government to amend
the rules for Sidas Information Grant. The AGM elected
a new Chair: Sten Rylander.
The membership trend has been falling in recent
years: from 205 members in 2008 to 159 in 2013. The
AGM mandated the Board to review the membership cri-
teria together with fee levels and benefts for 2014.

den in 2013: Kenya, Tanzania, Cambodia, Colombia, Ko-
sovo and Belarus (offce located in Lithuania).
Forum Syd has granted a new three-year sub-granting
programme for grants for Swedish organisations coopera-
tion with civil society organisation (CSOs) in Belarus and
direct grants for Belarusian organisations. There will also
be offcers at the offce in Lithuania.
In 2013, 37% (39%) of employees were men and 63%
(61%) were women. Due to there being no improvement
in the gender breakdown in 2013, a survey will be conduc-
ted in 2014 within the framework of the work to promote
equal treatment, such as working conditions, parenthood,
sexual harassment and recruitment. An analysis of the sur-
vey will then form the basis of an equal treatment plan,
including promotional and preventative activities.
Forum Syd has collective bargaining agreements in
Sweden and several HR-related policies covering the entire
organisation (HR Policy, Pay Policy and Gender Equality
Policy) that were decided by Forum Syds Board.
Internal environmental work
Members of staff are required to log in from and inclu-
ding 2013 in order to print out documents. Paper usage at
the Head Offce reduced from 350,000 sheets to 250,000
between 2012 and 2013. Forum Syd has travel guidelines
where the environmental aspect is emphasised. It is sta-
ted in Forum Syds purchasing conditions that Suppliers
must take into account environmentally sustainable deve-
lopment within their assignments. Forum Syds electricity
contracts carry the Good Environmental Choice label.
Financing
Forum Syds activities are fnanced by grants from Sida,
the EU, other Swedish and foreign public authorities, pri-
vate organisations, sales, other fundraising and member-
ship fees from our members. Forum Syd has a fundrai-
sing account registered with Swedish Fundraising Control,
known as a 90-account (PlusGiro 90 01 44-7)
Work of Forum Syd
Forum Syd sub-grants funds to Swedish organisations,
pursues development cooperation through support to
local organisations in the six countries where Forum Syd
have local offces and also provides information and con-
ducts advocacy work relating to global development issues.
SEK 156.0 m (SEK 164.3) was paid out for 206 (243)
development and information projects that were granted
to 130 (147) Swedish organisations. 57 (74) of the organi-
sations (44% (50%)) were members of Forum Syd. The
sub-granting of funds was fnanced by Sida Civsam and
Sida Konfikt (Somalia).
Programmes are governed by the result model appro-
ved by Sida Civsam and Forum Syds previously applica-
ble Central Development Issues (up to and including May
2013). Democracy issues from a rights perspective as well
as gender and the sustainable use of natural resources for-
med part of the work of all of the projects granted.
Fifty-four trainee placement grants were sub-granted
in 2013. These were fnanced by the Swedish Council for
Higher Education.
Forum Syds country offces ran twelve programmes
in 2013. The programmes were mainly fnanced by Sida
and/or the EU, but also by foreign public authorities or
embassies and other organisations. Programmes are go-
verned by Forum Syds country strategies. The work of all
of the programmes involves democracy and rights, gender
and environment and a sustainable use of natural resour-
ces. This is done by supporting local organisations.
Information work is conducted by sub-granting SEK
13.9 million to 39 projects. This sub-granting is fnanced
by Sida and governed by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs
Strategy for Information and Communication Activities
2010-2014 and Forum Syds Communication Strategy.
Forum Syd disseminates information and conducts ad-
vocacy work within the framework of its general external
communication and through special programmes such as the
Global Portalen and Global Development Issues. The latter
two are fnanced by Sida. The work is governed by Forum
Syds Plan for Information Work. The work is conducted via
the Internet, work with the press, social media, participation
in networks, seminars, lob-
bying activities and reports.
The internal work
of Forum Syd involves
operational planning and
follow-up in accordance
with a model that involves
everyone, from member
organisations to individual
employees. The Board and
management group, inclu-
ding country managers,
work each year to produce proposals for an overall plan
for operations for adoption by the AGM. Risk analyses and
internal control plans form part of the planning and follow-
up, although this work was delayed in 2013. In contrast to
the departments in Sweden, the country offces did not have
their own plans for operations within the system; work on
this will start in 2014.
Measuring and reporting results
Sub-grants for Swedish organisations are followed up
using the Dira case management system. Forum Syds re-
sult model is used to aggregate the results; this measures
and follows up the goals achieved by projects in relation
to Forum Syds overall goals for development cooperation:
Strengthen marginalised people living in poverty to achieve
democratic infuence and access to rights. These results are
reported to fnanciers in accordance with the agreed model.
The follow up and reporting of Forum Syds own
programmes implemented by Forum Syds country offces
have so far been reported to each donor and through four-
monthly internal reports, where the achievement of each
country strategy is evaluated. Results will be aggregated in
Dira in the future.
Forum Syd has not had a satisfactory model to aggregate
and report results from all development cooperation. One
project was run in 2013 with a view to improving this and
increasing the capacity to demonstrate how Forum Syds
purpose were promoted over the year.
The Overall Plan for Operations, and similarly department
plans, are reported and followed up using Sopal, an IT-
based tool. The achievement of goals using indicators was
frst measured in 2013. These are
followed up three times a year and
reported to the Board.

Donor perception index: what do
donors think about Forum Syd in
relation to how Forum Syd wants to
be perceived?
9 9
There are fve operational goals in the Plan for Operations. Several of the indi-
cators for goals are measured as an index, whereby the measurement results
are converted into a fgure between 0 and 100, where 0 is very poor and 100
very good. However, the span of the donor perception index is from 0 to 11.
Goal 1. Quality. Forum Syds operations deliver good results and are cost-
efective. Forum Syd is perceived by both donors and partners to be a reliable,
competent and straightforward organisation to deal with.
Results | The result report for Sida Civsam for 2010 to
2012, compiled in 2013, indicates many results where local
civil society has been strengthened. The results are shown
at an individual, organisational and societal level. The re-
port was greatly appreciated by Sida, which wrote in the
minutes of its annual meeting with Forum Syd:
A very well-written and structured report providing
a balanced picture of their activities. Weaknesses and
diffculties are reported and analysed in a transparent
way. The result studies and evaluations made within
project activities, programme activities and the capacity
development programme are very much welcome. The
implementation of these studies has strengthened the
conclusions and result reporting.
The framework criteria assessment carried out on the
assignment of Sida Civsam in 2013 considered that Fo-
rum Syds activities are relevant and have a clear focus on
strengthening civil society in the south and east through
collaboration with member organisations and Swedish ci-
vil society. Forum Syds improvement work within internal
control has produced positive results.
Two new internal control systems were commissioned
in 2013: Sopal and Dira. These increase the transparency
and effciency of Forum Syds planning and follow up of
activities. A new, simplifed fnancial administration model
was drawn up and implemented for the Head Offce and
country offces.
There have been very positive results from the investiga-
tion of applicant organisations regarding how satisfed they
are with the processing of their applications. This is proba-
bly a manifestation of the improvement and simplifcation
work that was being carried out in 2013. A questionnaire
with eleven questions for all of Forum Syds institutional
donors (16, of which 13 replied) indicates that Forum Syd
is considered to achieve the results expected and be relevant
and reliable in terms of the programmes/projects conduc-
ted. According to the respondents, improvements could be
made in respect of cost effciency and the communication
of results. This questionnaire was anonymous.
Events that afected the result
The year was largely characterised by the reporting of re-
sults for 2010 to 2012 and applications for 2014 to 2016
for Sida Civsam. Many evaluations have been conducted
within the framework of this work that resulted in ana-
lyses and proposed adjustments to some of the activities.
Delays in the new result strategies for Swedish bilateral
development cooperation during the year affected the opp-
ortunity to be informed about the continuation of ongoing
programmes in, for example, Tanzania and about new pro-
grammes that had been discussed. The six-month revision of
the Ministry for Foreign Affairs CSO strategy was delayed,
which also had an impact on Forum Syds strategic planning.
Assessment of goal achievement
The indicators show good goal achievement. However,
Forum Syd will continue to focus strongly on increasing
cost effciency, on making things easier for applicants and
partner organisations and also on being able to commu-
nicate aggregated results for all of Forum Syds activitie
29.
Indicator Goal Outcome
Attitude survey of target groups
journalists and opinion-formers
(index), a survey to measure
existing knowledge about Forum
Syd in target groups; questions
shall be asked relating to credibility,
freedom from political influence
and also results.
- -
Goal 2. Profle. Forum Syd is conceived of as being profled in democracy and rights as
well as gender, environment and climate from a rights perspective. This profle shapes
all our development cooperation, capacity development and advocacy activities.
This survey was not conducted as planned in 2013, but will be
conducted in 2014.
Results | The work to clarify and operationalise Forum
Syds three profle areas continued in 2013. Working groups
that included offcers from both the Head Offce and coun-
try offces have developed defnitions and working methods
based on Forum Syds programme of concepts and Over-
all Plan for Operations. This work will form the basis of
applications, internal competence development, external
communication and capacity building. Individually tailored
courses have been held within the profle areas in Sweden
and Somaliland.
All of the country offces have prepared country strate-
gies based on the profle areas. These form the basis of the
purpose and overall goal of the programmes implemented
at the country offces.
A tool (Community Tool) for working on issues invol-
ving the sustainable use of natural resources from a rights
perspective at a local level has been developed and tested in
the feld.
The programmes and projects supported by sub-gran-
ting funds to Swedish organisations focus entirely on de-
mocracy and rights. The importance of gender issues has
been strengthened over the past three years and is now pro-
minent in projects. Attention has still not been drawn to en-
vironment and climate issues to the same extent. Gender
represents the main focus for two of the country offces
programmes (Colombia and Kenya) and the environment
and climate for another two (Belarus and Cambodia). The
focus on democracy and rights is fundamental to all of the
programmes implemented by the country offces.
A new, clearer and more modern website has been laun-
ched: www.forumsyd.org. This site was visited by 16,152
people (unique) during the period 1 September to 31 De-
cember. Forum Syd was mentioned in the Swedish press
137 times and Forum Syds press releases have been opened
27,104 times on Newsdesk. Forum Syds Facebook page had
2,021 (1,585) followers and Twitter 1,802 (850) followers.
Forum Syds Globalportalen programme had over
255,000 (208,000) visits to its website. The number of follo-
wers on Globalportalens Facebook page increased by 65%
over the year to 6,040; 65% of these followers are between
the ages of 13 and 34 (56%).
Events that afected the results
Systematic work started during the year to work with ad-
vocacy in a more goal-oriented way. The profle of certain
communication services has changed. The Board and ma-
nagement produced specifc subject areas that are to per-
meate Forum Syds external communication and advocacy
work. The resources for working within these goals are very
limited, which is partly due to the existing restrictions appli-
cable to Sidas Information Grant.
The indicator for this goal will be measured in 2014. Forum
Syd demonstrates positive results in terms of reaching out
to the media, including social media. However, more focus
and resources need to be allocated to profling the organisa-
tion and communicating Forum Syds message.
Development cooperation results indicate that signif-
cant focus is placed on democracy and rights and also on
gender issues, but still not as clearly on environment and
climate issues.

Goal 3. Member organisation. Our members say that we provide a meaningful,
stimulating forum, both in Sweden and in the countries where we have ofces,
and that we contribute to mutual and continual competence development.
Results | In addition to the courses and seminars arrang-
ed by Forum Syd, which were attended by 93 (82) member
organisations, just over ten courses and seminars were ar-
ranged jointly with members, most of which dealt with
land grabbing. Most of these seminars also had speakers
from the country in question. The other seminars have
included themes relating to the climate, food, taxfight,
alcohol as a hindrance to development (together with
IOGT-NTO) and also what sex has to do with reducing
poverty (jointly with the National Association for Sexu-
ality Education RFSU). There were 36 exhibitors at the
Schysst Jul 2013 (A Fair Christmas 2013) market, thirteen
of whom were members (44 exhibitors of whom 18 were
members). Four out of a total of ten tailor-made courses
were held for member organisations.
A survey was conducted in the autumn of 2013 re-
garding how members perceived their membership of
Forum Syd. 74 to 86% feel that Forum Syd reaches out
and communicates the matters with which it is concerned,
comprises a meeting place for its members in Sweden
and contributes to mutual learning. On the other hand,
responses show that more focus needs to be directed at
making Forum Syds country offces a meeting place for
members. The response rate was quite low (40%).
Three out of Forum Syds six country offces have had
some form of cooperation over the year with one or more
member organisations.
A monthly membership letter started to be sent to all
member organisations during the autumn of 2013. This
letter had just over 280 recipients by December. The pur-
pose of the letter is to add value to the members mem-
bership, to distribute information about what is happening
centrally within the organisation and to keep members up-
to-date about events within aid policy.
The fall in the number of members has contributed to a
reduction in the resources available to facilitate the work
towards developing the member organisation as a mee-
ting place. Uncertainty about fnancing for country offces
represented a fundamental reason for why it was not pos-
sible for them to develop into the meeting place for mem-
bers and local organisations that was desired.
Two of the three indicators do not achieve the goals set.
However, members explained through the member survey
that Forum Syd is a meaningful and active meeting place
in Sweden and that Forum Syd contributes to mutual and
continual competence development.
The part of the goal stating that Forum Syd should
be a meaningful and active meeting place in those countri-
es where Forum Syd have offces needs to be developed
further. The country offces included possible activities
with member organisations in their country strategies. The
Board appointed a special working group during the year
mandated to work on how to increase member value at
Forum Syd.

Goal 4. Internal cooperation. Our colleagues in the country ofces and in the
head ofce feel part of ONE organisation in which staf cooperate between
departments and regions and take advantage of each others experiences.
Results |An employee survey indicated that much has im-
proved since 2011. The employee satisfaction index achie-
ved 78 (73). However, there is still work to do in respect of
internal communication, feedback and stress.
The communication index measures how communi-
cation functions within Forum Syd and between its de-
partments and country offces. The outcome was 64 in
2011, representing a slight improvement for 2013. Com-
munication has improved between departments in Swe-
den and between country offces, while improvements
can be made in respect of communication between Head
Offce and country offces. Intranet use reduced during
the period.
The internal service at Head Offce was measured in
terms of service, key systems and processes. The internal
service within these areas is generally perceived to function
in a satisfactory way. Some key systems have a low utilisation
level, and the use of these systems needs to increase.
An old-fashioned intranet with a lot of information
although only in Swedish has reduced the usability of
the intranet for internal communications. The operational
planning and follow-up system introduced in 2012 and
2013 has made Forum Syds vision, purpose and goals
clearer while also increasing participation in the planning
and follow-up process
The indicators do not achieve the goals set despite going
in the right direction since 2011.
It is highly likely that the new intranet in English prepa-
red during the autumn and launched in January 2014 will
improve communication between the different offces th-
roughout the world. Likewise, steering documents are now
written in English.
Cooperation between the departments has been deve-
loped through, among other things, the profle groups. The
Project Support Department and International Programme
Department initiated the work to produce a method of
working with sub-granting funds to Swedish organisations.
Sub-granting is now found within more programmes than
just those fnanced by Sida Civsam. Furthermore, more
country offces than the Kenya offce will have staff whose
work involves sub-granting to Swedish organisations.
Further work will be conducted in intergroups to ena-
ble everyone to use the intranet and to improve the tech-
nology for digital meeting rooms and virtual meetings.
The Employee Satisfaction Index which is not an
overall indicator indicates very good results.

Goal 5. Financing. Diversifed fnancing makes us less vulnerable so that we
and our partners can more easily prioritise our various operational initiatives.
Results |The application to Sida Civsam for the period
2014 to 2016 was submitted during the autumn and Fo-
rum Syd was, just before Christmas, granted the entire
amount sought, for the south and east.
The country offces and Head Offce submitted 16
applications to various donors during the period; the goal
was 18. Two new programmes were granted at the end
of the year: one for Belarus and one at the Head Offce
relating to sustainable development. Nine applications
received funding and decisions were still awaited for the
remaining fve at year end.
Financing, which comprises of own, fundraising
efforts in Sweden, has not achieved its goal. The focus
within fundraising last year was to initiate a lottery direc-
ted at Forum Syds members, where Forum Syd and its
member organisations would be a benefciary. Although a
satisfactory concept was produced interest among mem-
bers was too low to be able to launch this initiative.
The positive outcome for the Sida Civsam application
represented one aspect of several years of improvement
work conducted at Forum Syd. The results of this work
were described in external evaluations from Forum Syd
and in the internal evaluations conducted by granted pro-
jects prior to the results report to Sida Civsam for the pe-
riod 2010 to 2012.
Forum Syds application for an extension of the FOS
fund in Colombia was not granted by the Embassy of
Sweden. This was the subject of a strict procurement, and
a private consultancy frm won the contract. Forum Syd
was awarded higher points in respect of implementation
but proposed a slightly higher budget.
The indicators do not achieve the goals set, but are mo-
ving in the right direction. A large proportion of applica-
tions submitted received funding despite the number of
donors exceeding the goal of 27%. There has been a slight
reduction in the dependence on the principal fnancier
from 68% in 2012 to 65% in 2013 and an increase in the
funding from other donors, primarily the EU.
*This represents an indicator for measuring how dependent we
are on our principal donor.
Forum Syd received information in February 2014 about Sidas Information Grant application for 2014 to
2016. Forum Syd applied for SEK 20.8 m per year for three years but was granted SEK 18 million per year.
As a result of the low interest shown by members, Forum Syds management decided to formally termi-
nate any further work with the Solidarity Lottery and instead focus on alternative fundraising activities
in 2014,
Forum Syd was asked by the Ministry for Foreign Afairs to submit a three-year application on 9 January
2014 for a new sub-granting programme: Diaspora groups within civil society as bridge-builders to the
home country. The scope of the programme is SEK 15 million for the period 2014 to 2016.

Forum Syds income (excluding fnancial items) amounted to SEK 284.9 m
(295.0 m) in 2013, representing a reduction of SEK 10.1 m or 3.4% compa-
red with the previous year. Grants from Sida amounted to SEK 264.3 m (
282.4 m) and comprise the main proportion of Forum Syds income, 92.8%
(95.7%) in total. Framework grants from CIVSAM comprised most of the in-
come from Sida at SEK 189.5 m ( 201.6 m). This represents a reduction of SEK
12.1 m or 6.0% compared with last year. The rest of the Sida grants amoun-
ted to SEK 74.8 m ( 80.8 m), representing a reduction of SEK 6.0 m or 7.4%.
Other grants increased from SEK 10.6 m to SEK 18.7 m.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised at the fair value of the considera-
tion received or receivable. Donations and grants are ge-
nerally recognised as revenue when the donation has been
effectuated in terms of property law.
Membership fees
Forum Syds annual general meeting (AGM) determines
the membership fee for the coming year. Recognised in-
come comprises fees invoiced for the current year.
Grants from SIDA and similar authorities
All grants from Sida and similar authorities are reported in
accordance with BFNAR 2002:11 concerning funds from
public bodies. This means that they are only recognised
as income if it can be assessed to be highly likely that the
support will not be reclaimed, i.e. that the organisation
had expenditure for the purpose. Conditional grants are
recognised as a liability until the expenses that those con-
tributions are intended to cover are incurred.
Project costs
Project costs are such costs that are related to the
organisations mandate according to its Articles of Asso-
ciation. The cost of advocacy work also forms part of the
project costs in those cases where advocacy and informa-
tion activities form an integral part of the organisations
specifc mandate; for example, thematic campaigns run by
the organisation.
Project costs also include common costs allocated to
the project costs (joint costs). Project costs include admi-
nistrative costs arising as a direct consequence of an acti-
vity/project with the project. Examples of such costs are
an organisations foreign offce. Please note that managing
a project within the framework of the project often inclu-
des costs associated with applying for grants, as the grant
often represents a precondition for implementing the pro-
ject. Consequently, this separable cost for grant applica-
tions, which is often very small, is also referable to project
costs. This also includes following up and reporting both
in respect of the actual project and also in relation to, for
instance, a party providing funding.
Administration costs
Administration costs means costs for central adminis-
tration in Sweden (management and administration fun-
ctions, fnance, IT, HR and planning) that do not comprise
project costs, fundraising expenses and costs for member
organisations (AGMs and member meetings).
Accounting for grants
Grants for NGOs both within and outside Sweden are
carried as a cost in conjunction with payment. Contracts
for grants that run for several years are not included as lia-
bilities in the balance sheet. Nor is corresponding income
from fnanciers included as receivables.
Receivables
Receivables are stated at the amount that is expected to be
paid following individual assessment.
Forum Syds accounting policies and valuation principles comply with
the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Accounting Standard
Boards general recommendations for non-proft associations and the
Swedish Fundraising Councils (FRII) governing guidelines for annual
accounting. Assets and liabilities are valued at cost unless stated
otherwise below.
36.
Foreign currency
Receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies are transla-
ted at the closing day rate.
Fixed assets
Property, plant, equipment and intangible assets are valued
at historical cost and depreciated systematically over the
assessed life if the value in use exceeds three years and
the cost exceeds SEK 20,000. Shares and participating in-
terests are recorded as fnancial assets and assessed at the
lower of cost and fair value (market value). When making
a comparison between cost and fair value, this is done for
the entire securities portfolio (portfolio valuation).
The following depreciation/
amortisation schedule applies:
Capitalised expenditure for software 5 years
Offce equipment 5 years
Computer equipment 3 years
Vehicles 5 years
Work at leased property 5 years
Capital investment
Financial investments are made in accordance Forum
Syds Investment Policy.
Cash-fow statement
The cash fow statement is prepared in accordance with
the indirect method, i.e. based on results of operations.
The recorded cash fow only covers transactions involving
cash receipts or payments. Only cash and bank balances
are classifed as cash and cash equivalents.
Amounts are in SEK thousands unless otherwise stated Notes

Report on the annual accounts
We have audited the annual accounts of Forum Syd for the year 2013.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Secretary-
General for the annual accounts
The Board of Directors and the Secretary-General are responsible
for the preparation and fair presentation of these annual accounts
in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, and for such internal
control as the Board of Directors and the Secretary-General deter-
mine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual ac-
counts based on our audit. The audit was conducted in accor-
dance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The
authorized public accountant conducted his or hers audit in ac-
cordance with International Standards on Auditing.
Those standards require that the authorized public accoun-
tant complies with ethical requirements and plans and performs
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual
accounts are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts. The
procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the an-
nual accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those
risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant
to the companys preparation and fair presentation of the annual
accounts in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accoun-
ting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by the Board of Directors and the Secretary-General, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual accounts.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffcient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in ac-
cordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all
material respects, the fnancial position of Forum Syd as of 31
December 2013 and of its fnancial performance and its cash
fows for the year then ended in accordance with the Annual Ac-
counts Act. The statutory administration report is consistent with
the other parts of the annual accounts.
We recommend to the annual meeting to adopt the income state-
ment and balance sheet.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In addition to our audit of the annual accounts, we have also
audited the proposed appropriations of the companys proft or
loss and the administration of the Board of Directors and the
Secretary-General of Forum Syd for the year 2013.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Secretary-General
The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for appro-
priations of the companys proft or loss, and the Board of Direc-
tors and the Secretary-General are responsible for administration
under the Companies Act.
Auditors responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion with reasonable assu-
rance on the proposed appropriations of the companys proft or
loss and on the administration based on our audit. We conducted
the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
in Sweden. As basis for our opinion concerning discharge from
liability, in addition to our audit of the annual accounts, we exa-
mined signifcant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of
the company in order to determine whether any member of the
Board of Directors or the Secretary-General is liable to the com-
pany. We also examined whether any member of the Board of
Directors or the Secretary-General has, in any other way, acted
in contravention of the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of
Association. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is suffcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.
Opinion
We recommend to the annual meeting that the members of the
Board of Directors and the Secretary-General be discharged from
liability for the fnancial year.
