Research is very important for our understanding of the sector we are aiming to improve, says Thomas Raahauge Norup, Sector Counsellor at the Danish Embassy in Ghana.
Since 2017, Danida has supported development research linked to the strategic sector cooperation between Denmark and countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Over the past five years, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark has granted 55 research collaboration projects between Danish researchers and researchers in 15 countries with strategic sector cooperation with Denmark.
Here we present the stories of four Sector Counsellors. They explain in their own words how Danida supported research benefits the strategic sector cooperation Denmark has with Bangladesh on workers’ health and safety, with Ghana on maritime development, with India on sustainable urban water management and with South Africa on smart and sustainable cities.
These stories are part of a series in which we explore the benefits of Danida supported research from different angles. See also In the words of researchers within the thematic area of conflict from 2021.
