NORSAD-Fund This project is a finalisation of the Danish engagement in the NORSAD Fund, which was established in 1990 by Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the SADC-countries. The purpose of NORSAD was to support economic growth through lending to small and medium-sized enterprises in Southern Africa.

At the end of 2011, NORSAD was privatised and transformed into a limited liability shareholding company, Norsad Finance Ltd., which was launched in March 2012 and is now owned by the development finance institutions of the participating countries. As part of this privatisation, Denmark has handed over its shares to the Danish Investment Fund for Developing Countries (IFU). 

With establishment as a private company, a capital injection of about USD 35 million was required to secure financial sustainability, as Norsad Finance Ltd. became tax liable and additional capital was needed to introduce new financial products demanded by the market. Denmark supported the capital injection with DKK 57 million to purchase preferential shares.The new preferential shares have also been handed over to IFU.

Throughout its more than 20 years of existence, NORSAD has delivered results under changing and at times difficult circumstances. NORSAD has contributed to the establishment of more than 46.000 jobs in almost 500 companies, of which about half have been created in rural areas and about 25% for women. 

Norsad Finance Ltd. continues the original purpose of NORSAD - contributing to the improvement of living conditions in Southern Africa, particularly in the rural areas, through financial services to SMEs.

PlanBørnefonden - Strategic Partnership 2022-2025 This project forms part of the Strategic Partnership 2022-2025 between MFA and the Danish civil society organisations. 

It aims to implement the priorities from the Danish development strategy, “The World We Share,” through dynamic and mutually reinforcing partnerships with independent Danish organisations on shared priorities, namely democratic values and human rights, fragile contexts and displacement, and climate and green solutions.

Strategic Partnerships receive one grant with funding for both development assistance and for humanitarian emergencies (listed here as separate engagements).

Due to the strategic focus of the partnerships, results are reported at an aggregated level across countries and themes to show contributions to changes through case studies and crosscutting indicators. Three strategic priorities permeate across all strategic partnerships in the period. Democratic values and human rights, fragile context and displacement, and climate and green solutions are present through different approaches and varying emphasis in line with the technical capacity and the partner’s core competencies.

Analysis and modelling of Geological Basins in Vietnam Projektet har til formål at styrke Vietnams mulighed for at vurdere landets olie- og gasressourcer. De vietnamesiske forskeres og institutioners færdigheder i at kunne analysere og modellere deres geologiske bassiner er blevet forbedret på en integreret og grundig måde, og dermed er der skabt en god geovidenskabelig baggrund for beslutninger af politisk og teknisk art vedrørende kulbrinteefterforskning og -udnyttelse. Kapacitetsopbygningen startet i de første faser er udbygget og forskningsarbejdet er udvidet til nye områder. Ni vietnamesiske forskere fra tre organisationer har gennemgået M.Sc./Ph.d.-programmer med fælles vietnamesisk-danske vejledere. Der er afholdt korte kurser i Danmark og Vietnam. Vietnamesiske forskere er trænet i at udføre videnskabelige undersøgelser og undervisning på internationalt niveau og i at publicere deres resultater i peer-review tidsskrifter. Der er gennemført den første geologiske ekspedition nogensinde til Nam Du Islands i det Sydkinesiske Hav, hvor vietnamesiske og danske Ph.d.-studerende foretog geologiske undersøgelser sammen med deres vejledere. Resultatet af disse studier har givet uvurderlig viden om den geologiske opbygning af det sydvestlige Vietnam. De geologiske og geofysiske databaser er yderligere konsolideret og udvidet som et resultat af nye dataindsamlinger, der blandt andet omfattede geologiske prøver indsamlet i Vietnam og Cambodja, og analyser i laboratorier i Australien, Danmark og Vietnam. Analyserne af de geologiske prøver fra Phu Quoc øen er fortsat. Boredata brugtes også i undervisningen, hvor studenter har arbejdet med borekernerne i en serie af kurser. Anden fase udløb med 2009. En videre fase (2009-2012) blev bevilget i 2007, og den blev forlænget til medio 2015 til færdiggørelse af de sidste Ph.d.-stipendiater. Projektet har produceret i alt 42 videnskabelige artikler. Slutrapport afleveret i februar 2016. Projektet fortsætter med vietnamesiske midler i regi af den vietnamesiske partnerinstitution.
Denmark’s support to  MSI Reproductive Choices 2023-2026 This programme document outlines the background, rationale, justification, objectives, and management arrangements for the support to MSI Reproductive Choices (MSI) from 2023-26, in total DKK 100 mil. (DKK 25 mil. annually). Denmark has supported MSI since 2010, and the programme document covers a new phase of Danish support over a four-year period. The programme document is an annex to the legal bilateral agreement with MSI and constitutes an integral part hereof together with the annexes. 

The overall objective for Denmark’s engagement with MSI is to expand access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) globally, especially for women and adolescent girls most in need.

MSI is a leading SRHR organisation and one of the world’s largest providers of high-quality contraception, safe abortion and other SRH services, with a strong focus on global and national advocacy for women and girls’ right to access safe abortion. While MSI undertakes some income generating activities, MSI is a not-for-profit entity and registered as a Charity Organisation in the UK, employing more than 9,000 people across 37 countries.  Of these, 32 are on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list as Official Development Assistance (ODA) eligible recipients and the majority are fragile countries. 

The Danish funds for this project will exclusively be allocated to MSI’s non-profit work in countries on the OECD DAC list of eligible countries for ODA and will be earmarked within two pillars of MSI’s work: 
1)	Access Pillar ‘Leave No-one Behind’: supporting delivery of SRH services to the poorest and most marginalised communities in countries on the OECD DAC list of eligible countries for ODA
2)	Enabling Pillar ‘Partnership and Advocacy’: creating an enabling environment at policy, partner, and community level which supports people to realise their SRHR.

European Development Fund (EDF) 2022 Created in 1957 by the Treaty of Rome and launched in 1959, the European Development Fund (EDF) is the EU's main instrument for providing development aid to African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries and to overseas countries and territories (OCTs). The EDF is established within the framework of an international agreement between the EU and its partner countries. The current ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, the `Cotonou Agreement´, was concluded in 2000. The 11th European Development Fund entered into force on the 1st March 2015 and the total financial resources amount to 30.5 billion euro for the period till 2020. The EDF is financed outside the EU budget by direct contributions from EU Member States.  The EU's aid efforts are particularly focused on the following areas: Trade, regional integration, environment, infrastructure, transportation, water & energy, food security, support for economic & institutional reforms, conflict prevention, human rights, and democracy & good governance.

The Danish strategic priorities for the participation in development cooperation through the EU focus on three areas:
1.The EU as a global force for human rights (HR). The EU must incorporate HR in all its relations and policies with developing countries through a human rights-based approach to development.
2.The EU as a stable partner in fragile states. The EU must unfold its full potential in terms of preventing conflicts, creating security and building stable and legitimate states. The EU's involvement must be strengthened and the synergies between EU policies must be utilized to an even greater degree.
3.The EU as a driver of green growth and employment. The EU must prioritize green growth and employment as a key to prosperity and as a precondition for sustainable development. The EU must use its influence in international negotiations to ensure that development, environment and climate are addressed in a coherent way.

UNHCR Regional Response Plan for Syria, 2022 This allocation of 25 million DKK to UNHCR contributes to meeting the objectives of the Regional Response Plan for Syria for 2022. 
Across the five host countries in the 3RP the number of people in need has approximately doubled since before the COVID-19 pandemic due to the socio-economic impact and increasing vulnerabilities. To help address these challenges, the 3RP requires some USD 6.1 billion in 2022 to meet the growing and urgent needs of approximately 12 million refugees and host community members across the region.

This allocation contributes to meeting the objectives of UNHCR’s initiatives in the five countries under the Regional Refugee and Resilience plan (3RP) - Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt. The host countries continue to face varying degrees of socio-economic crises, and in some cases, coupled with a political crisis. In 2022, 3RP partners will therefore address not only growing humanitarian needs, but also strengthen its efforts on resilience with attention to social cohesion/stability.

Due to its nature as a response to a humanitarian appeal operational results are general and highly aggregated and the MFA contribution is thus reflected in the overall results reporting by the partner.  Please refer to the hyperlink below.

Preparation Building Stronger Universities (BSU) phase 4 The new development cooperation strategy “The World We Share” constitutes a basis on which to renew and strengthen development research. It focuses Danish international development cooperation on the promotion of democracy and human rights (of girls and women in particular), on the struggles against poverty and inequality (including conflicts, “irregular migration” and “fragility”) and on the need to tackle the causes and consequences of global warming in the context of improved environmental management and enhanced biodiversity. Wide-ranging partnerships underpin the plans for 2021-25, including with research institutions.

In addition to the more traditional research collaboration projects funding by Danida, a new program providing support for capacity development and research with selected African universities will be designed. The three phases of the BSU program have shown that there is considerable interest amongst Danish researchers and Danish Universities for partnerships with African higher education institutions. Furthermore, the outcomes of the program have been rated highly, both in the 2019-20 evaluation and in the 2021 mid-term review of BSU III, and it appears to have resulted in improved quality education and research at the targeted universities. The BSU program has been unique compared to most other international cooperation aiming at better and more research, because of its consistent focus on developing the capacity of the universities to carry out research-based teaching, do research, and reach out to societal actors. Most other programs focus either on research proper, or on offering PhD or master degrees to individuals. The BSU focus on both research administrative and support aspects, curricula development that embeds research in postgraduate teaching, and on building up research organisations at institutional level which can act as models beyond the chosen scientific theme, and which has outreach built into the approaches to research, must be continued in the new program.

Design of the new capacity development program will be carried out in 2022 with a view to approval of a grant in early 2023 for the period 2023-26. A partnership mapping process will be undertaken, focusing on universities in Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya and Somaliland. Climate change, environment and health will be the thematic focus areas included in the new program
