Strategic Partnership 2022-2025

The Danish Family Planning Association receives an annual grant of 22 million DKK for efforts relating to civil society development in Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia, as well as a Global Entity unit. Thematic partnership - Democracy and human rights. This agreement has a vision of consolidation and expansion of interventions in Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia. Firstly, this proposal will allow DFPA to substantially expand interventions related to young people, as well as to unfold the climate change adaptation work in all three countries. Secondly, a clear priority is to further strengthen data-collection systems, evidence collection and research with the objective of further strengthening programming and advocacy. Finally, despite the very distressing political conflict going on in Ethiopia, DFPA is expanding the country programme to also include programmes related to young people, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and sex workers. Support in these areas is dire. DFPA has no organisational country set-up and works solely through and with local partners in countries. DFPA therefore maintains direct and regular exchanges as well as add value to the work of the partners, when required and requested. DFPA works hard to develop respectful and equal partnerships. This said, DFPA will continue to learn and strengthen its approach to increase leadership among partners in the Global South.
