Tailor-made Courses

Tailor-made courses are specifically designed according to the need of a Danida programme/project, and typically last from 2 weeks to 2 months. These courses are to be financed by the programme or project. A tailor-made course can take place in Denmark as well as in the home country.

"I used to be a backbencher at work. Now colleagues come to ask my advice on all types of matters.
My opinion is valued."
                                                                             Mr Ayubu Makiwa, Tanzania

Tailor-made courses are well suited to cover specific needs of programmes/ projects e.g. within Danida priority areas such as:

  • AGRICULTURE
  • EDUCATION
  • GENDER ASPECTS
  • HEALTH
  • HUMAN RIGHTS
  • INFRASTRUCTURE
  • ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
  • WATER AND SANITATION
  • TRANSPORT
  • GOOD GOVERNANCE
  • HUMAN RIGHTS

In principle, DFC can be used to organise training within any area and in any country.


Procedures for the implementation of tailor-made courses
It has been resolved that when training activities (both financed by the central and by programme/project funds) are to be carried out in Denmark, Danida Fellowship Centre shall be involved to ensure the homogeneity and quality of training and living conditions in Denmark. The following procedure applies for programme/ project funded tailor-made courses in Denmark. For course in the home country, please contact DFC directly.

The Danida programme/project must forward a detailed description of the course requirements to Danida Fellowship Centre on the DFC-request form. The form is available at the Embassy or as a download under Forms.

Upon the Danida programme's approval of the proposed study programme, Danida Fellowship Centre will prepare a course outline in co-operation with a suitable place of study. The course outline and course budget will be forwarded to the programme/project for final approval, before a period of study is agreed upon. The cost of the course covers reimbursable expenses only: study fee, allowances, travel expenses, and accommodation. Danida Fellowship Centre will forward a pro-forma invoice to the Danida programme at the start of the course.
