DEVELOPMENT
DANIDA stands for Danish International Development Assistance.
The Government has ensured that Denmark’s development assistance does not fall under 0.8 per cent of the gross national income (GNI). In 2008, this percentage is expected to correspond to a total development assistance amounting to approx. DKK 14.4 billion.
The overall objective of Danish development assistance is to promote sustainable development through poverty-oriented economic growth. Danish development assistance focuses on assisting the poor through critical investments in the social sectors, development of infrastructure and the private sector.
Three priority areas in particular are crucial for ensuring sustainable development in the developing countries – both in the short term and the long term:
- Climate change, energy and environment
- Migration and development
- Stability and democracy
Danish Development assistance is based on partnership with the receiving country and it is understood that the partner will do its utmost to combat corruption if that is an issue.
Africa remains at the heart of Danish development policy, because this is where the challenges are greatest. Furthermore, the Government will further strengthen the effort to enchance women’s rights and opportunities in 2008 and in the years ahead with new, targeted activities.
