A Ministra da Cooperacao Internacional da Suecia Gunilla Carlsson, nomeou Anders Nordstrom para o cargo de director da Agencia Suenca para Desenvolvimento. Anders foi funcionario senior da Organizacao Mundial da Saude, da ASDI e da Cruz Vermelha Internacional, tendo trabalhado em varios paises como Zambia, Irao, Cambodja. A nomeacao de Anders decorre numa altura crucial em que o novo governo do Centro-Direita na Suecia esta num processo de reformulacao da sua politica externa, com vista a uma melhor racionalizacao dos seus recursos. No processo de racionalizacao paises como a Nicaragua e Angola ficaram comos seus pacotes de ajuda internacional seriamente reduzidos enquanto que Mocambique suplantou a Tanzania, acabando por ser o pais que mais ajuda externa Sueca recebe.
Aquando das ultimas vistas que efectuei a Suecia o ano transacto notei a azafama dos funcionarios ligados quer ao Ministerio dos Negocios Estrangeiros quer da ASDI no sentido de compreender na integra e interiorizar o sentido das novas mudancas. Notei tambem alguma insatisfacao por parte de sectores importantes da sociedade civil Sueca em relacao a nova politica, pois na sua optica tal politica 'resumia-se' na diminuicao dos pacotes da ajuda aos paises em desenvolvimento, enquanto que oficiais superiores ligados a nova administracao defendiam que as mudancas eram necessarias pois a Suecia estava a dispender muitos recursos sem criterios rigorisos para medir o seu impacto, dai anecesidade de mudancas radicais na forma como era concebida e era gerida a politica de ajuda.
Penso que a experiencia que Anders vai razer ao posto ira fortalecer e profissionalisar as mudancas imprimidas pela nova politica de cooperacao internacional da Suecia.
E espero que os nossos jovens quer na Embaixada em Estocolmo,Suecia, quer no MINEC em Maputo, sabiam capitalizar este momento impar de redefinacao da politica de cooperacao Sueca.
Um abraco,
Manuel de Araujo

Anders Nordström has previously worked for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Geneva, for Sida in Stockholm and Zambia, and for the Red Cross in Cambodia and Iran. Anders has also worked as a medical practitioner.
The appointment came after a very thorough recruitment process, in which the Government advertised for a new head and Director-General of Sida. The advertisement appeared in five daily newspapers. A total of 55 applications were received for the position before the closing date. In conjunction with the advertising process, the Government Offices worked with a recruitment agency, which ran a parallel search using the person specification that had been drawn up.
