Support to developing a comprehensive Danish Approach to Food and Agriculture development Assistance

With the development strategy “The World We Share” food and agriculture is back as a major priority in Danish Development Policy as part of the climate, poverty, and health agendas. The development of the global food situation is becoming graver with regard to Russia’s invasion and war in Ukraine, climate change and economic pressure as a result of the COVID pandemic. On this background, work has started to develop a stronger concerted “whole of government” approach to the Danish international engagement on food and agriculture. The purpose of the assignment is to assist the Department for Green Diplomacy and Climate (GDK) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in developing a comprehensive approach to food and agriculture in development assistance aligned with the “whole of government” approach. The methods include the development of background overviews, the facilitation of consultations and dialogues, analyses and more. The main outputs include an inception report and a how-to note describing a comprehensive Danish approach to development assistance in food and agriculture.
