Denmark’s development policy aims to contribute to reducing global poverty and helping people to take charge of their own destiny.
Danish development assistance goes to some of the poorest countries in the world and is mainly focused on 26 partner countries.
Danish development assistance programmes achieved their goals in 88 per cent of cases in 2010. Every goal that is achieved is a small step on the way to creating development in some of the poorest countries of the world.
The developing countries need an enabling environment for the private sector to create economic growth, one of the preconditions for effective poverty alleviation.
Since 1987 Danida has published all evaluations with a view to informing the general public and political decision-makers about the results and processes of Danish development cooperation.
Danida issues a number of publications every year: annual reports, books, films, teaching material, newsletters and booklets.
