Danida Fellowship Centre supports Denmark's development cooperation by strengthening knowledge and capacity in partner countries.
With funding from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, we offer learning activities, support development research, foster university partnerships, and promote local and international knowledge sharing. Participation is limited to partners in Danida financed projects and programmes and professionals from eligible institutions who meet the application requirements of our programmes.
We design, manage, and deliver learning activities aimed at strengthening individual competencies, enhancing institutional capacity, and supporting organisational change in countries that partner with Denmark through Danida partner countries.
We administer grants to development research, support collaborative research partnerships that generate new knowledge, strengthen academic capacity, and inform policy and practice – all with the goal of advancing sustainable development in Danida partner countries.
The two major university cooperation programmes, the Knowledge and Innovation Programme and Building Stronger Universities, managed by Danida Fellowship Centre focus on strengthening partnerships, capacity building, networks, and collaborative lerning in higher education an universities
