The DANIDA Fellowship Centre (DFC) is a Denmark-based organisation supporting research, learning, and capacity development through international partnerships. DFC plays an important role in advancing research collaborations that address sustainable development challenges.
DFC provides funding for the five-year Pastoral Resilience and Sense of Place in Karamoja, Uganda (PReSense) project, which brings together Gulu University Constituent College – Moroto, University College Copenhagen, the University of Copenhagen, and Karamoja Herders of the Horn (KHH).
The project focuses on understanding pastoral resilience, climate change adaptation, and sustainable livelihoods among communities in Karamoja. Through collaborative research, it seeks to generate knowledge that reflects local experiences and informs practical approaches to addressing environmental and socioeconomic challenges.
The initiative also contributes to academic capacity development through the training of three PhD students, strengthening research expertise and institutional collaboration.
DFC’s support demonstrates the importance of international development partnerships in advancing research, building institutional capacity, and promoting evidence-based solutions for sustainable community development in Karamoja.
