Danida Fellowship Centre’s main objective is to arrange courses and training for counterpart staff of Danida programmes and projects – in Denmark or in developing countries (nationally and regionally). The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs defines the framework for the training activities of the programmes and projects, while DFC is in charge of all educational, administrative and practical functions in connection with a fellow´s study in Denmark. The fellowship activities are financed by a central grant as well as funds from Danida programmes and projects. The target group is counterpart staff of Danida programmes/projects as well as NGOs and private institutions involved in activities supported by Danida

High impact at programme level is reported for 49 % of the fellows, which  also indicates a sizeable trickle-down effect. In addition, the latest survey shows that 79% of the fellows still stay with the host organisation 2,5 years after the training.
