Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), is a Danish organization inside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, setup to provide humanitarian help and assistance in developing countries. A considerable share of Denmark's bilateral assistance is channelled through Danish non-governmental organizations.

FUNDING

Single Projects are the main instrument of support for Danish civil society organisations which have not entered into Framework Agreements. In 2003, the Danish government decided to reallocate parts of the budget for Framework Organisations to the Single Projects scheme in order to support the development activities of a larger number of smaller NGOs. It is also possible for several NGOs to form alliances or networks within a specific thematic area and to apply for Single funds for these joint programmes.

The Mini-Project Fund supports small-scale projects of Danish NGOs in co-operation with local civil society partners in developing countries. The Project Counselling Service is responsible for administering this fund.

The Local Grant Authority (LGA) is a flexible and largely non-bureaucratic funding instrument available to local civil society organisations, authorities or enterprises in developing countries. The budget for the LGA is administered by Danish Embassies, which are authorized to approve grants without consulting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
