Sweden"s government announced on December 5, 2025, that it will gradually phase out development aid to five countries: Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Mozambique, Liberia, and Bolivia. This decision will redirect over 2 billion kronor (approximately $212 million) in aid funds to support Ukraine"s reconstruction efforts.
The reallocation of funds aims to bolster Sweden"s financial assistance to Ukraine, increasing its support to $1.06 billion by 2026. The Swedish government has prioritized this funding in light of Ukraine"s ongoing needs following recent conflicts.
This shift in foreign aid reflects Sweden"s commitment to addressing international humanitarian crises, particularly in Ukraine. The decision comes amid broader discussions regarding international aid and support for nations facing significant challenges.
