Global Focus is committed to strengthening Danish development cooperation by cultivating a robust, diverse, and forward-thinking civil society that is both effective and resilient. We achieve this through knowledge gathering, building capacity, analysis, advocacy work, fostering networks and alliances, and facilitating cross-sector collaboration.
Our strength lies in our members and the collective voice that we together represent, and our work centers around their shared interests, which are integral to development cooperation and to achieving our vision of a just, equal, and sustainable world.
To learn more about our areas of work and working groups, as well as how you and your organization can participate, please read more below.
CIVIC SPACE
Civic space is increasingly under pressure across the world. At Global Focus, we work actively with our members to create responses to this negative trend and threats to fundamental freedom rights.
A STRONG FUTURE FIT CIVIL SOCIETY
Our aim is to promote a dynamic, resilient, and innovative civil society, which is both visionary and inclusive. We strive to empower civil society to be a leading force in driving change and transformation.
CLIMATE JUSTICE AND SUSTAINABLE TRANSITION
We support our members' climate policy work in relation to development and humanitarian efforts, and we stand in solidarity with global movements fighting for climate justice.
DANISH DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND COOPERATION
We contribute to Danish development policy by insisting on a strong focus on human rights and democracy and by connecting long-term development, peace-building, and humanitarian efforts.
Our thematic working groups are at the heart of our work. Our role is to facilitate, coordinate, and plan activities, and support and promote collaboration within and between the working groups.
