5. GOALS
Poverty must be fought with human rights and economic growth. This
is the strong message in the strategy for Denmark’s development
cooperation, “The Right to a Better Life”.
Four strategic priorities
Denmark will concentrate its development cooperation on four strategic
priority areas which are interconnected and which will enable Denmark to make
its contribution to combating poverty and promote human rights.
Human rights and democracy
Green growth
Social progress
Stability and protection
6. GOAL :Human rights and democracy
Denmark will lead the fight for
human rights
democracy
good governance
through the commitment to multilateralism and in
the countries Denmark engage in.
7. Goal: Green Growth
Economic growth is necessary to eradicate poverty.
Due to increasing pressure on natural resources and higher
demand for food, energy and water, growth needs to be
green.
Denmark will contribute to paving the way for global and
local solutions to these challenges, and put pressure on the
multilateral system to strengthen their efforts to support
developing countries to promote and stimulate green growth.
8. Goal: Social Progress
Social progress is needed if people are ever to fight their way
out of poverty and practice their rights in society.
Today, many poor people have obtained access to
• health
• education
• water and sanitation
But, there is still much to be done in many countries.
Denmark will therefore place allocation and rights in social
sectors higher on the agenda in Danish development
cooperation, with special focus on women and gender
equality.
9. Goal: Stability and protection
Fragile states are characterized by
weak state structures
weak internal cohesion and
object inequality.
Fragility and conflicts hinder
development and poverty reduction
create or worsen humanitarian crises and
are breathing grounds for instability and migration.
10. Activities
The aim of Denmark’s development cooperation is
to reduce poverty through the promotion of human
rights and economic growth. It is focused on some of
the poorest countries in the world.
11. Results
Danish development assistance programmes
achieved their goals in 83 per cent of cases in 2013.
Every goal that is achieved is a small step on the
way to creating development in some of the poorest
countries of the world.
12. The long-term significance of development
cooperation
The long-term objective of development cooperation is to reduce
poverty and create development in some of the poorest countries in the
world.
Development takes time. It is a result of many people’s work.
Sustainable development requires, among other things:
Growth and jobs,
Peace and stability,
Equal opportunities for men and women,
Consideration for the environment and natural resources,
Freedom,
gender equality,
democracy and rights
so that everyone can grow and contribute to the development of the country.

deeper poverty
depleted soils
deforested hills
polluted water and
disease.
