Despite being a member of the European Union, Denmark does not utilize the European Refugee Fund, due to its opting out of the Maastricht Treaty and the areas concerned with Justice and Home Affairs. However, the primary resettlement program, the Danish Refugee Council, receives its funding from the Danish development agency, Danida, and the UK Department for International Development.[1] [1] “Funding Overview.” Danish Refugee Council.
