SWEDISH COOPERATIVE CENTRE

The Swedish Cooperative Centre, SCC, was created by the Swedish Cooperative Movement in 1958. Through long-term development work and “help to self-help” we equip poor people with the tools needed to fight poverty themselves. Through advocacy work we strive to convince more people to take stand for a world free from poverty and injustice. Our projects are financed through fundraising and by Sida, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.
