Danida Fellows Networkers Grants – Call for applications

Danida fellows can now apply to the annual call for the Danida Fellows Networkers Grants to turn their knowledge into action. The grants support small-scale, fellow-led initiatives that spark dialogue and build bridges across disciplines, organisations and sectors. If you are motivated to connect, engage and make a difference, this opportunity may be for you.

Rethinking climate action as investment

Climate change is not just a challenge, it’s also an opportunity for investment. The programme coordinator of Kenya’s FLLoCA programme, Peter Odhengo, explains why building local expertise to deliver climate solutions is a smart investment, an investment that is supported by Danida Fellowship Centre’s learning activities.
