The Government's Priorities for Danish Development Cooperation: overview of the develpment cooperation budget 2016 - 2019
Resumo
Denmark has a world-class development cooperation. We live up to the UN target of giving 0.7 per cent of GNI
to the poorest people of the world.
We are one of only five countries that live up to this target, and we will continue to do so. In the draft Finance Act for 2016, the government allocates DKK 14.8 billion to development assistance. Concurrently, the government will work to encourage other rich countries, not least in the EU, to live up to their international obligations as well.
The Heads of State and Government of the world have recently adopted a new UN agenda for combating poverty and sustainable development. The agenda consists of 17 new Global Goals that must be reached before 2030.
They are broad and ambitious, and require a focused, coordinated and joint effort. The Global Goals set the frame for the Danish development cooperation, and Denmark is ready to take on its share of the responsibility.
The Danish development cooperation must evolve concurrently with the global changes and must respond to current challenges. With input from the review of Denmark’s foreign and security policy and through dialogue with Danish stakeholders, including representatives from civil society and the private sector,
the government will formulate a new strategy for development policy in 2016.
At the same time, the government wishes to strengthen the coherence between the humanitarian initiatives and the long-term development work, and will thus prepare a new strategy for the humanitarian engagement.
