SWEDO was founded 1991 in Stockholm, under the name Qandil – The Swedish humanitarian aid organization. SWEDO is a Swedish not-for-profit, non-governmental development aid organization. The aims of the organization are to provide humanitarian assistance, promote peace through development and rehabilitation projects, support economic and social development, improve human rights, assist in the improvement of local governance structures and improve the lives of vulnerable people, including local communities, internally displaced people (IDPs), refugees, and returnees of all ages and groups. Through this holistic programme, SWEDO aims to provide long-term and sustainable solutions to the challenges faced by communities, but also to enhance the capacity of all stakeholders, promoting local resilience as the key strategy for reducing the reliance on the international community. Currently, SWEDO is focused on activities in Iraq, Jordan, Palestine and Syria.
