Norwegian People's Aid rejects millions from the US
Norwegian People's Aid says no to hundreds of millions of Norwegian kroner in aid from the US.
This means a reduction of around 1,700 positions globally.
The reason the Norwegian organization is rejecting the money is the conditions set by the US State Department.
“The US is trying to dictate that we stop working for equality and diversity. Not just in the programs they themselves fund, but in everything we do, including projects supported by other donors. We say no to that. We follow Norwegian law and Norwegian policy and do not exchange value for money,” says Raymond Johansen, Secretary General of Norwegian People’s Aid, in a press release.
By refusing US aid, annual income will be reduced by almost 400 million Norwegian kroner, equivalent to just over 410 million Swedish kronor.
