Danida

Danida was established in 1962 as Denmark’s ODA framework and manages bilateral development and humanitarian assistance through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Denmark is consistently among the top ODA donors as a share of GNI, and Danida is known for flexible, principled humanitarian funding and strong civil society partnerships. It channels funding through Danish and international NGOs, UN agencies, and bilateral government programmes.

Denmark made a historic multi-year Ukraine commitment of DKK 75 billion (~€10 billion) over 2023–2028 — one of the largest per-capita pledges globally. Within this envelope, Danida manages humanitarian and development components covering emergency health, protection, mine action, governance, and long-term recovery. Danida’s Ukraine funding framework includes windows for NGO partnerships and is aligned with humanitarian principles, making it relevant for implementing partners such as CARE seeking multi-year and predictable funding streams in Ukraine.

Danida is Denmark’s international development cooperation programme, managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark. It funds humanitarian response, long-term development, democracy support, and climate action through bilateral and multilateral channels, including significant support to NGOs.
