sipu md oveR the yeaRs

w wr pr p!Thus ar you have seen examples o what SIPUdoes, in Sweden and worldwide; and sometimeshow we do it. But its a well-known act that

things dont get done by themselves. A widerange o people have been involved in SIPUsactivities over the last 20 years.

This section will switch ocus, and not onlylook at the things SIPU has done; but also high-light some o the people that through their hardwork made them happen. We can but give youa ew snapshots, but we wish anyway to pre-sent some o the individuals that have helped tomake SIPU what it is today.

SIPU International 1992 2012

Two seeminglycontradicting

developmentshave characterised my watch asManaging Director. On the onehand, SIPU International hasbecome more international thanever beore by becoming parto an international company

group, and also less dependenton Sida as a client as we havesuccessully oered our servicesto other donors. During thesame time period, we have be-come more Swedish, or at leastmore visible in Sweden thanwe have ever been beore, withthe acquisition o the Swedish

training business in 2010 and aconscious eort to win contractsor Swedish public agencies. Iam very happy with this devel-opment and we will continueto use our Swedish experiencestrengthen our internationalbusiness and vice versa.

As it happens, I have now

the opportunity to have boththe frst and the last word inthis years annual report. I hopethat you as a reader has enjoyedit and learnt something newabout SIPU. I look orward tohear rom you, i you have anyquestions or comments on thecontents, or just to have a chat.

Anders Olinmanagingdirector2008 today

When Lei Wisn one o theounders o SIPU International passed away in 2008 welost our oremost ideologi-cal partner, a person with avery personal involvement inapplying SIPU principles inprojects to meet developmentchallenges.

Good Governance includeshard and sot elements. Thehard elements like RBM,steering or results, systemsdevelopment such aspects

are the ocus o the skilledtechnocrats. For them,good is qualiying i instru-ments and systemsare o good/ high quality.

For Lei, the ocus was onmaking good and beinggood. Such an approachtouches on values, ethics,and standards or servicedelivery that improve the liveso the poor. Hence, what isthe meaning o Good and

what are the means to im-prove goodness, what doesit mean in various projectsand or dierent people?Lei was people oriented andhe was our main proponentor working with people,through people a leadingprinciple or SIPU and or Leiwhen he took on his dier-ent projects.To work withpeople it isessential tobe interested

and engagedin people. Thiscame naturalto him.

To defnewhat is goodin the specifcproject sense requires thatall involved share a visiono where to go and whatto change and what ittakes to change. Lei hada basket o methodologies

and approaches to drivesuch a change process. HisSIPU room was stackedwith books and pamphlets.But methodologies are notenough i the change teamsdo not believe that the en-gagement is sincere; this wasperhaps Leis most importantcontribution. People believedin his sincere engagement to

strive or what isbetter than todayand to engagepeople in the

projects to makechange happen.Change or thebetter needs truecommitment.

One must be agood person to

be recognised to sincerelywork or the good. Lei wasa good person and this is hisheritage and contribution tothe SIPU values.
