Celebrating ten years of Danida Fellows Network with a song

Ten years ago, in 2016, we launched the Danida Fellows Network. It came in response to a strong and consistent request from the more than 1,000 fellows that annually attend our learning courses supporting the development programmes under Danida and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark.The request was echoed by the hundreds of Master’s and PhD students, and researchers from Danida partner countries working alongside their Danish colleagues in long-standing research collaborations.The closure of this year’s Danida Fellows Network Leaders Convening was celebrated with a song composed especially for the occasion by Danida fellow Prateek Kumawat from India. It is entitled ‘We are the Danida fellows’ and it is a fitting tribute to a network built on collaboration, creativity, and a shared ambition to make a positive and long-lasting difference.By Prateek Kumawat

Here is what she had to tell us.By Angie Gomez Pizarro

Why more women in health research matters

Why does it matter who does healthcare research – and who the research is about? The answer is that it affects what questions are asked and which health problems receive attention. In a new research paper, two Danida-funded researchers, Christina Anne Vinter and Ditte Søndergaard Linde together with their colleague Lone Kjeld Petersen show how gender gaps in leadership and research priorities still influence global health.
