DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH
Providing grants for research activities and research capacity building is part of Denmark’s international development cooperation. Development research must contribute to enabling Denmark to continue to deliver development assistance that is first rate and effectively contributes to ensuring that globalisation becomes a matter of progress through partnership.
Like other elements of Danish development assistance, development research may contribute to making it possible for the developing countries to reap the benefits from globalisation. Promoting the UN Millennium Development Goals is an important element of the Danish Government’s development policy priorities and, consequently, of development research. In addition, it is a special feature of the research that it also aims to identify and solve some of the major development problems that will exist or arise after the year 2015. Development research must contribute to responding to the challenges of the Millennium Development Goals, but it must also be aware of challenges and problems that will appear in a longer perspective.
It is an overarching goal to achieve a strong sense of coherence between development research, the development assistance policy and practical assistance cooperation. Support for research is to be seen as an integral part of development assistance and is to contribute to achieving the key objectives of development policy that are set out in the Government’s development policy. This implies an emphasis on research that generates knowledge for promoting the general goal of development assistance regarding poverty reduction.
In 2010, the Danida grant for research is approximately DKK 193 million. The allocation covers three main targets: (i) support to research project including research capacity building in the developing countries, (ii) support to centres and networks (iii) support to international research. Furthermore, support will be provided in the form of travel grants for students working on Masters’ theses.
