Sida 2 refers to the second phase of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency's (Sida) work in international development. Like the first phase, Sida 2 aimed to provide support to developing countries to improve their social and economic conditions. The main focus of Sida 2 was on HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, as well as other global health issues.

Sida 2 was characterized by a greater focus on results and a more results-oriented approach, with clear objectives and indicators for measuring success. The agency also emphasized building capacity and working with local partners to achieve its goals. Sida 2 included a number of key components, including increased support for HIV/AIDS efforts and a focus on health systems strengthening.

Sida 2 built on the lessons learned from the first phase and aimed to address new challenges and priorities in international development. The effort involved collaboration with a range of partners, including other countries, international organizations, and civil society groups. The partnership included the aim to strengthen capacity and exchange lessons learned to accelerate progress in development.

The initiative also prioritized areas of need to scale-up successful activities from other Sida programs. By focusing on HIV/AIDS and other health and system wide development issues, Sida 2 aligned itself with the UN's Millennium Development Goals and the subsequent Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. Overall, Sida 2 solidified the goal of achieving more and giving every human being the chance to a long and healthy life.
