There is a general call for more interdisciplinary collaboration between academia, business, government and civil society. Soeren Jeppesen, Associate Professor, Copenhagen Business School sees Danida Alumni as a strategic instrument in Denmark's cross-sector cooperation with the global South.

Danida Alumni Network is a unique global community of current and former Danida fellows, who have been granted a study stay in Denmark at Master's and PhD level, or have completed qualifying courses for professionals of higher and further education. The potential of a global network of this kind is extraordinary; for the individual alumni, for Danish institutes of higher and further education and for Danish diplomacy and business.

Over the years, Ghana and Denmark’s relationship and collaboration has taken different forms. The latest addition is Danida Ghana Alumni. It’s a renewed relationship between the two countries, writes Chairperson Enoch Yeboah Agyepong

Tove Degnbol, Danish Ambassador in Ghana supported the Danida Alumni Network right from the drawing board. The alumni are obvious ambassadors and facilitators in relations between Danes and our business and development cooperation partners, she says.
