About SI Alumni Network Zimbabwe
About the Swedish Institute
We are alumni of the Swedish Institute Scholarship and Leadership programs. Our Network was established in 2017 and we arrange activities that promote sustainable development goals and Swedish culture.
There are over 50 Sweden Alumni networks around the world and we were proud recipients of the Alumni Network of the Year 2020 award from the Swedish Institute.
The Swedish Institute is a public agency that builds interest and trust in Sweden around the world.
The Swedish Institute works with Sweden promotion, cooperation in the Baltic Sea region and global development.
