Africa
Danish development activities in Africa are aimed at
preventing and fighting inequality and poverty, conflict, fragility,
displacement and irregular migration and on strengthening resilience to climate
change.
Denmark
has been involved in development cooperation with African countries for more
than 50 years. Denmark is one of the few countries in the world that meets the
UN target with the aim of contributing 0.7 percent of GNI to development
assistance.
The
strategy for Denmark’s development cooperation ‘The World We Share’ sets the
direction for the Danish development activities in Africa. The strategy was
adopted in June 2021 by a broad political majority in the Danish Parliament and
is valid until July 2025. Read more about the strategy here.
Danish
development cooperation is carried out with our African partner countries,
multilateral organizations as well as the EU and other EU member states.
Our
bilateral partnerships with African countries can be found here.
