Danida Fellowship Centre’s Strategy

Danida Fellowship Centre’s mission is to create and enable spaces for mutual learning and action. Our role is to connect knowledge and experience in Denmark with knowledge and experience in partner countries under Denmark’s development cooperation.

Transforming Knowledge into Action

Our mandate is to

  • Support development research and strengthen research capacity, including research engagement and outreach for uptake

  • Support partnerships between African and Danish higher education institutions through the Knowledge and Innovation and the Building Stronger Universities programmes

  • Design, manage and implement learning activities and support organisational and systemic change in countries collaborating with Denmark through Danish development cooperation

  • Support networks for alumni and partners, including the Danida Fellows Network

  • Share lessons learned from all our activities through our communication with stakeholders in Denmark and abroad.
Danida Fellowship Centre contributes to more sustainable solutions to global challenges as framed by the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Sustainability is therefore a crosscutting focus of the 2021-25 strategy  with special emphasis to durability, green solutions and inclusiveness.

Anti-corruption

The Anti-Corruption Code of Conduct is aligned with Danida’s Anti-Corruption Policy. You will find the policy and more information about Danida’s anti-corruption policy at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ website.
