The Danish International Development Agency (Danida) acts as the development cooperation agency of the Government of Denmark under the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Danida is committed to supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in the context of sustainable economic growth. Multi-stakeholder cooperation, including the public and the private sector, and NGO cooperation, is an important principle for Danida.

One of the new flagship approaches is the

“Partnership for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030” (P4G), which aims to develop partnerships that contribute to sustainable and responsible growth in developing countries and globally. The Partnership was launched in September 2017. Denmark will host the first annual P4G summit in October 2018. Participants will include the business sector, civil society, trade unions, and institutional investors. More information can be found online.
