  • United Nations Secretary-General Appoints Gunilla Carlsson As
    United Nations Secretary-General appoints Gunilla Carlsson as Executive Director, a.i., of UNAIDS GENEVA, 13 May 2019—UNAIDS warmly welcomes the appointment by the United Nations Secretary-General of Gunilla Carlsson as Executive Director, a.i., of UNAIDS. Ms Carlsson joined UNAIDS in February 2018 as the Deputy Executive Director for Management and Governance and Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations. Ms Carlsson provides strategic direction to management functions and is leading UNAIDS’ work in promoting effective governance of the Joint Programme and ensuring that UNAIDS continues to serve as a pathfinder for United Nations reform. “It is a great honour for me to serve UNAIDS as acting Executive Director at such a pivotal time for the Joint Programme, the United Nations and global health. The AIDS response cannot afford to be at a standstill,” said Ms Carlsson. “Human rights, gender equality and diversity must be at the centre of all we do. I look forward to continuing to work hand in hand with communities, staff and partners around the globe to achieve the 2020 targets and ultimately end AIDS.” Prior to joining UNAIDS, Ms Carlsson served as an elected member of the Swedish Parliament and as the Minister for International Development Cooperation. She also served as an elected member of the European Parliament. Ms Carlsson was the Chair of the Swedish-initiated Commission on Climate Change and Development. She was appointed by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to a high-level panel for global sustainability ahead of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development and served on the United Nations High-Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda.

  • Fredrik Reinfeldt
    2014 Press release 03 June 2014 Prime Minister's Office REMINDER: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to Harpsund On Monday and Tuesday 9-10 June, Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt will host a high-level meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at Harpsund. The European Union needs to improve job creation and growth now that the EU is gradually recovering from the economic crisis. At the same time, the EU is facing institutional changes with a new European Parliament and a new European Commission taking office in the autumn. Sweden, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands are all reform and growth-oriented countries. As far as Sweden is concerned, it will be important to emphasise structural reforms to boost EU competitiveness, strengthen the Single Market, increase trade relations and promote free movement. These issues will be at the centre of the discussions at Harpsund. Germany, the UK and the Netherlands, like Sweden, are on the World Economic Forum's list of the world's ten most competitive countries. It is natural, therefore, for these countries to come together to compare experiences and discuss EU reform. Programme points: Monday 9 June 18.30 Chancellor Merkel, PM Cameron and PM Rutte arrive at Harpsund; outdoor photo opportunity/door step. Tuesday 10 June 10.30 Joint concluding press conference. Possible further photo opportunities will be announced later. Accreditation is required through the MFA International Press Centre. Applications close on 4 June at 18.00.

  • Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for International Development Cooperation Speech by Gunilla Carlsson at UN High-Level Meeting Check Against Delivery
    2010 Speech 21 September 2010 Gunilla Carlsson, Minister for International Development Cooperation Speech by Gunilla Carlsson at UN high-level meeting Check against delivery Mr President, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Related Press Release: Gunilla (Sweden aligns itself fully with the statement delivered by the European Union) Carlsson to New York for The Millennium Development Goals represent a common agenda to enhance and coordinate our efforts for UN high-level meeting poverty eradication and sustainable global development. The MDGs are about improving the lives of the world's poorest people; everyone's right to take an active part in shaping their own future and that of their families, communities and countries. They are about enabling people to move out of poverty and into lives of freedom and opportunities. Governments that pursue democratic development hand-in-hand with human rights stand a better chance of achieving the MDGs. The overall trend is positive. Infant and child mortality have dropped and more girls attend school. Evidence shows that the MDGs can be met if there is sufficient political will. However, despite progress we still face challenges. Millions of people suffer from hunger and lack access to safe drinking water. Climate change affects our living conditions. The poorest suffer the most. Africa is particularly hard-hit. Mr President, Sweden is deeply concerned that some MDGs are lagging behind. This is especially true of MDG5 on maternal health. It is unacceptable that hundreds of thousands of women die every year from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. The causes of maternal mortality are well known and, in most cases, preventable.

  • Ms Gunilla Carlsson Minister for International Development Cooperation Ministry for Foreign Affairs Government Offices of Sweden SE-103 39 Stockholm Sweden
    Ms Gunilla Carlsson Minister for International Development Cooperation Ministry for Foreign Affairs Government Offices of Sweden SE-103 39 Stockholm Sweden 15/03/2012 Dear Minister Carlsson Including progress on aid transparency within Sweden’s Open Government Partnership Action Plan As Sweden prepares to submit its Open Government Partnership (OGP) Action Plan for April 2012 we the undersigned civil society organisations are writing to encourage you to take this opportunity to build on both the aid transparency commitmentsi made at the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (HLF-4) in December 2011 and your progress within the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) process. As you know, the main challenge Sweden aims to address through its OGP Action Plan - to more effectively manage public resourcesii – can be appropriately applied to aid transparency. We therefore anticipate seeing more specific action points relating to aid transparency included within Sweden’s OGP Action Plan. Through the commitments already delivered by OGP founding members, including the U.K and U.S., the links between the OGP and IATI agenda’s have been made explicitiii, as has the potential for OGP participation to complement the IATI process and vice versa. Thus it might be appropriate to include the following intentions within Sweden’s OGP Action Plan: • Continuing to improve Sweden’s IATI data – particularly by publishing 2011 data; Setting a timetable for publication of development-related flows, including climate finance; • Implementing IATI fully by December 2015. We look forward to working with you and your officials in the future as Sweden continues to make progress in this important area.
