Priorities for Danish Development Cooperation 2015
3
A responsible and active
development policy
For more than 50 years, Denmark has been engaged in the world’s poorest countries based
on principles of loyalty and solidarity. We have achieved remarkable results in areas such
as health and education, and the point of departure has been, and still is, to lift people out
of poverty and into a dignified and productive life. In the process, we have adjusted Danish
development cooperation in order to ensure that it always matches the needs and demands
of our priority countries.
Today, many developing countries are increasingly
demanding equality, cooperation and exchange of
experience. They need responsible investments in
emerging markets. They need knowledge, experience
and competences in health, water, energy, environment,
climate, agriculture, and food production. In other words,
they need Denmark. They need our knowledge and
our skills.
The Government’s draft finance act for 2015 therefore
focuses on the need to create sustainable growth and
jobs in the developing countries. A job is a way out
of poverty. The Government is opening up for new
opportunities to bring into play the competences and
know-how of Danish companies and authorities while
at the same time creating better coherence between
Danish development policy and other policy areas.
It is all about ensuring effectiveness and sustainability
based on the strategy for Denmark’s development
cooperation, The Right to a Better Life.
This draft finance act is also a strong manifestation
of Denmark’s leading position in the promotion of
human rights and humanitarian presence. In 2015,
the Government will make an extra effort to promote
education, health and the rights of women in develop-
ing countries and strengthen Denmark’s humanitarian
contribution to unstable and disaster-affected areas.
It is all about compassion locally and security globally.
Finally, the draft finance act also focuses on culture and
information. Culture can be a catalyst for democracy
and participation in developing countries. At home,
enhanced information activities can contribute to
giving Danish development cooperation stronger roots
in the community and promote popular engagement.
Danes should know more about Denmark’s efforts –
and we should all be proud of it! In this field, the efforts
by companies to run socially and environmentally
responsible businesses can also make a contribution.
Since coming to office, the Government has maintained
Danish development assistance at a high level. It will
continue this trend in 2015 when Danish development
assistance is maintained at 0.83 per cent of GNI and
will amount to DKK 16,893 million. This represents
an increase of DKK 620 million compared to 2014.
I look forward to a good and constructive collaboration
on transforming the priorities for Denmark’s
development cooperation into reality. To the benefit
of the world’s poor, global development and us all.

Minister for Trade and Development Cooperation

Priorities for Danish Development Cooperation 2015
Priorities for Danish
Development Cooperation 2015
The role which development cooperation is playing internationally is undergoing major
change. The face of poverty is changing significantly, and in the future, an increasing share
of the world’s poor will live in fragile states.
Former very poor countries are experiencing growth,
but it is not benefitting all, and a significant share of the
world’s poor will also in the future live in middle-income
countries and not only in the poorest low-income
countries. Global poverty trends have shifted and the
challenges have followed suit. Denmark’s development
cooperation and development instruments must be
adapted so that they correspond to the countries’
concrete needs, opportunities and challenges.
As countries grow, the share of development assistance
in the state budget decreases in many of the countries
with which Denmark has development cooperation.
In the future, the role of development cooperation will
therefore in many places gradually have to change
in order for it to be able to function to an even higher
degree as a catalyst for development and solutions
to global problems. In parallel, new partners such
as the private sector, global funds and global charitable
organisations will play an ever more important role
in development cooperation.
This year’s draft finance act opens up for new oppor-
tunities to develop and adapt Danish development
cooperation and e.g. bring the private sector and
Danish authorities more into play to ensure that
Danish competences, experience and knowledge
can contribute to responding to both global and local
development challenges.
With the draft finance act for 2015, the Government
will continue Danish efforts to fight poverty with human
rights and growth within the four priority areas of
the strategy for Denmark’s development cooperation,
The Right to a Better Life: Human rights and democracy,
green growth, social progress as well as stability and
protection. The total distribution of Danish develop-
ment assistance on the draft finance act can be found
in tables 1-4.

Fight poverty with sustainable
growth and decent jobs
– bringing Danish competences
even better into play
A permanent job is the best way out of poverty and more jobs are needed in developing
countries. This applies not least to the many millions of young people who are either out
of work or struggle to get by with occasional jobs.
More than ever, developing countries are demanding
increased trade, more investments and new technology
so they can develop their societies, economies and
companies and create growth and jobs. Developing
countries want solutions to challenges which private
companies, not least Danish companies, can supply in
areas like health, water, energy, environment, climate,
agriculture and food production.
In many developing countries, there is also a great need
to ensure that the rapid economic growth is sustainable
– both environmentally and socially. In this field, Danish
authorities have competences, knowledge and experi-
ence about framework conditions, policy development
and regulation which developing countries want to
learn from.
In 2015, the Government will therefore continue
working actively to improve the conditions for the
private sector in developing countries with a view to
creating growth and jobs. It will also make an extra
effort to meet the demands from developing countries
for competences which Danish authorities possess,
through strategic collaboration between Danish
authorities and authorities in developing countries.
Furthermore, the Government will work to strengthen
collaboration between governments, the private sector,
trade unions and civil society in order to improve the
dialogue between the labour market parties to the
benefit of job creation, labour rights and social protec-
tion.
Labour rights, social responsibility
and sustainable value chains
In 2015, the Government will strengthen efforts to
promote labour rights, corporate social responsibility
and sustainable value chains through national and
international partnerships with a total allocation
of DKK 142 million.
This includes DKK 80 million to continue framework
agreements with Danish organisations which support
work to establish trade unions in developing countries.
As a new initiative, DKK 20 million will be allocated to
efforts in developing countries that aim to strengthen
social dialogue between the labour market parties and
make use of Danish competences, knowledge and
experience on social dialogue. Another DKK 40 million
will be allocated to an international initiative which
promotes responsible and sustainable value chains
in the production process.

through growth and employment in developing
countries, will be financed from Danish development
assistance. The draft finance act allocates an additional
DKK 100 million to similar initiatives, resulting in a total
allocation from Danish development assistance of DKK
239 million to initiatives within this area.
The new initiatives include DKK 72 million to promote
collaboration between Danish authorities and authori-
ties in selected developing countries. This collaboration
will promote sustainable and responsible economic
growth by linking Danish knowledge, experience and
competences to opportunities and challenges in
developing countries.
In addition, DKK 7 million will be allocated to a pro-
gramme for high-potential projects which will identify
and promote Danish solutions to concrete challenges
in developing countries. DKK 5 million will be allocated
to Danida Business Explorer, which is a new project
development facility, which can support Danish
companies’ exploratory assessments of opportunities
for activities in developing countries that address
local development needs. Furthermore in 2015, DKK
20 million will be allocated to joint export promotion
activities in a number of selected developing countries
through Danida Business Delegations and DKK 1 million
to a joint online platform for the companies.
In order to contribute to the financing of profitable
and sustainable projects in the area of agriculture and
food processing, an agriculture investment fund will
be established with a contribution of DKK 89 million
in 2015.
The Government will continue its current support
of DKK 2 million to UN Global Compact, which works
to strengthen corporate social responsibility and
adherence to Global Compact’s principles on human
rights, labour rights, environment and anti-corruption.
Bringing into play Danish
competences and knowledge
As part of the Government’s growth package, a number
of new initiatives will be launched in 2015 with the
aim of promoting synergy between development
cooperation and commercial activities and of bringing
competences of Danish authorities into play. DKK 139

Transform solidarity into
action – help people in need
and promote the MDGs:
Women, education and health
Next year, it has been 15 years since the world’s leaders with the adoption of the
UN Millennium Declaration committed to some of the most ambitious goals for global
development ever conceived – the UN’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The aim was among others to eradicate poverty and hunger in the world, achieve
universal primary education for all, promote gender equality and strengthen the health
and rights of women and children.
The MDGs have had a significant effect on investments
in a number of developing countries and 700 million
people have been lifted out of poverty. But the job is
not done. Several goals have not yet been reached and
progress is unevenly distributed.
In 2015, the Government will focus on those areas
where extra efforts are needed in order to reach the
MDGs. Access to health and education is a central
element in the MDGs. Denmark will therefore work
to promote girls’ education and the sexual and
reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women
and girls.
Enhanced efforts to promote
the sexual and reproductive health
and rights of women and girls
In 2015, Denmark’s contribution to the UN Population
Fund (UNFPA), which works to promote the sexual and
reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women and
girls, will be increased by DKK 10 million. This means
that the total allocation to the UNFPA will amount to
DKK 252 million.
Furthermore, DKK 85 million will be allocated to other
interventions in this area, including DKK 75 million to
a new multi-donor pool, which will support the work
of civil society aimed at enhancing the rights of women
and youth to decide over their own bodies, have access
to contraception and to safe and legal abortion.
DKK 375 million will be allocated to a new phase of the
health programme in Kenya. The programme focuses
on people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights
and on improving the access of mothers to reproductive
health services.

Priorities for Danish Development Cooperation 2015
Better education
in developing countries
In line with Denmark’s active engagement in promoting
quality education, the contribution to the Global
Partnership for Education will be increased by DKK
100 million to a total of DKK 400 million. The Global
Partnership for Education works to promote quality
education for all children, remove gender-based
discrimination in education, ensure education for
the most marginalised and enhance efforts for
education, not least in fragile states.
DKK 345 million will be allocated to continue Danish
support to education in Afghanistan, which will
build on the good results already achieved in close
collaboration with the Afghan authorities and local
community.
Help people in need and bridge
the gap to lasting development
Security and stability is needed if development is to
take root. This is why the Government in 2015 will
continue to focus on efforts in fragile states, where an
increasing part of the world’s poor are living and which
are furthest away from reaching the MDGs.
Denmark will continue to help people in need and help
bridge the gap to lasting development. In light of the
flow of refugees, humanitarian crises, wars and failed
states, there is a strong need to help these countries’
transition from conflict to peace and security. Denmark
will be ready to step in and show solidarity when
countries and people in need ask for help.
In 2015, the Government intends to increase support to
humanitarian interventions by DKK 250 million in order
for Denmark to continue to be able to respond quickly
and efficiently to new humanitarian crises. This means
that a total of DKK 1,775 million will be allocated to
humanitarian interventions, which is a significant
increase in Danish support to this area in the wake
of the major international crises in the past years.
While humanitarian interventions can meet immediate
needs, efforts to stabilise and build sustainable states
are also required. Therefore, an additional DKK 95
million will be allocated to the Government’s Peace
and Stabilisation Fund in 2015 making the total amount
allocated to the fund DKK 295 million. The funds will
be used for interventions in some of the most fragile
and conflict-affected states in the world. For instance,
DKK 80 million from the fund and DKK 20 million from
the Danish-Arab Partnership Programme will be
allocated to a state-building and reconstruction
programme in Syria.

Inform, involve and
engage Danes in Denmark’s
development cooperation
Denmark’s development cooperation rests on solid support from the Danish population. Danes
have a strong feeling of solidarity and want to help people in need. Denmark’s development
cooperation belongs to all Danes and they should be involved and engaged in it.
The Government will therefore strengthen information
about and the involvement of Danes in Denmark’s
development cooperation and work to increase public
commitment to Danish development efforts. It will
do so based on a close and continuous dialogue with
the Danish people about the significant progress that
the world is witnessing and on targeted information
about the many results that development cooperation
is delivering as well as the challenges and opportunities
which also exist in developing countries.
Information activities about Denmark’s development
cooperation will seek to promote new and innovative
ways to communicate about development cooperation
and global development issues. Efforts will also be made
to involve new partners and to promote an even wider
dissemination of information activities.
In 2014, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs started collabo-
rating with the Ministry of Education on improving
education about developing countries in Danish
schools. This collaboration will now be expanded
to include upper secondary education.
Communication and information interventions
Information activities
Volunteer programme
DKK 70 mill.
DKK 20 mill.
Involving Danes
in information activities
Danish NGOs play an important role in development
information activities. The Government will strengthen
this role and will therefore increase the part of the
budget in projects and programmes which can be
used for project-related information activities from
2 to 3 per cent, corresponding to approximately DKK
10 million annually.
Valuable lessons have been learned about the role of
volunteers in information activities through the volun-
teer programmes which Danish NGOs carry out. In order
to enhance the opportunities for Danes to participate
in and inform about development cooperation, DKK
20 million will be allocated annually for this purpose
to enable Danish volunteers to undertake short-term
travel and take part in development activities.
Additional information efforts
In 2015, an additional DKK 20 million will be allocated
to strengthen development information activities,
which means that the total amount allocated to these
activities will increase from DKK 50 to DKK 70 million.
This increase should contribute to ensuring that
information about Denmark’s development cooperation
reaches a broader target audience through e.g. the use
of mass media and by involving Danish companies
more in the information activities.
The increased priority given to development informa-
tion activities will among other things be used to
increase the focus on the international efforts to
identify the goals which in 2105 will replace the MDGs
and promote a closer dialogue with the Danes on these.

* The distribution of the climate envelope between the poverty-oriented framework and the global framework is only guiding
The main purpose of the Danish development cooper-
ation is to fight poverty. This does not imply, however,
that the cooperation only takes place in the poorest
countries, nor that the activities are focused exclusively
on the poorest people.
The classical understanding of development cooper-
ation is most clearly visible in the Danish priority
countries that are experiencing a relatively stable
development and where the donor community is
engaged in long-term dialogue as well as institution
and capacity building especially with the national
authorities and civil society. The development involve-
ment takes a more stabilizing role in the fragile states,
which need backing and support from the international
community to develop and build peaceful states to
create the foundation for long-term development.
Finally, the development aid plays a catalysing role
in the developing countries that experience growth
and have an increasingly strong private sector and a
dawning middle class which in the medium-long term
can lift the country beyond aid dependence. In these
situations a broader range of development instruments
are being used in both Danish priority countries as well
as other countries classified by the OECD as developing
countries and with a Danish presence.
The Danish development cooperation with priority
countries as well as other countries consists of multiple
instruments which can be adapted to the specific
context, just as the cooperation will evolve over time.
The poverty-oriented framework includes the cooper-
ation with countries in the groups of low and lower-
middle income. A few exceptions can occur if the
cooperation involves especially vulnerable groups of the
population or indigenous people. The activities under
the global framework can be undertaken in all countries
on the OECD’s list of countries eligible for Official
Development Assistance. In some countries, initiatives
from both frameworks are being used, for instance in
Afghanistan, where the development programmes are
placed under the poverty-oriented framework whereas
the contributions from the Peace and Stabilisation Fund
are placed under the global framework.

to fight poverty with human rights and growth
within the strategy’s four priority areas: Human
rights and democracy, green growth, social
progress and stability and protection.
In 2015, the Government will give significantly
more priority to initiatives which can promote
growth and job creation in developing countries.
A job is the best way out of poverty and more jobs
are needed in developing countries.
Developing countries are demanding trade,
investments and technology, so they can develop
their societies, economies and companies and
create growth and jobs. Danish companies and
authorities have competences within health,
water, energy, environment, climate, agriculture
and food production which are in demand in
developing countries. The Government aims to
put these competences into play to the benefit
of developing countries.
The Government will in 2015 turn solidarity into
action and increase support to people in need and
to the efforts to bridge the gap from crises to last-
ing development. Furthermore, the Government
will enhance its support for girls’ education and
for the promotion of the sexual and reproductive
health and rights of women and girls.
Denmark’s development cooperation rests
on solid support from the Danish population.
Denmark’s development cooperation belongs to
all Danes. The Government therefore intends to
strengthen the communication about Denmark’s
development cooperation and the involvement
of Danes in development cooperation to increase
public commitment to Denmark’s development
efforts.
