The vision for Denmark’s development cooperation is: A more secure and
sustainable world free from poverty, based on international binding cooperation
as well as just and resilient societies that fight inequality and create hope
and future opportunities for the individual, with the UN Sustainable Development
Goals and the Paris Agreement as beacons.
Denmark’s
development cooperation is in the international top league, both quantitatively
and qualitatively. Furthermore, 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.
In line with Denmark’s strategy for development cooperation,“The World We Share”, Denmark’s development policy is informed by three guiding principles:
·
Democratic
values and human rights as a foundation for our development cooperation;
·
Creating
hope and helping more people better where it is hardest; and
·
Leading
the fight to stop climate change and restoring balance to the planet.
