In 2005 the governing body confirmed the strategy of a reasonable broad definition of activities/
courses (policy courses) to be financed by the central grant. This includes courses of topics within
Danida’s cross-cutting issues, topics which strengthen the democratic process in countries of specific
interest to Denmark, in addition to courses of innovative nature. Based on this definition DFC
concludes that the utilization in 2006 of the central grant has been meaningful.
Moreover in 2006 DFC has been involved in a number of shorter study tours on behalf of embassies
and country desks in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, e.g. the European Neighbourhood Programme.
The tasks include coordination and all logistics in connection with short study tours and the volume
is increasing, as there appears to be a demand for this at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The communication strategy of DFC which primarily is aimed at ensuring that DFC focuses on the
new target group (embassies and the persons responsible for programmes and projects) is now fully
implemented and an important aspect of the strategy is for DFC to become more visible.
Unfortunately DFC did not have sufficient human resources to carry out as many visits to the
programme countries as wanted. But DFC will intensify the travel activities in 2007 and has the
overall goal of visiting all the programme countries1 at least once every second year.
1.2. Organisation
Danida Fellowship Centre (DFC) is a self-governing institution which receives grants via the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The fellowship programme is financed both via the central fellowship
grant of annually DKK 40 mill. and via decentralized programme/project grants.
DFC’s management consists of a director and a governing body appointed for a three-year period by
the Head of the South Group, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The meetings of the governing body in
2006 took place on January 10 and April 6. The mandate of the governing body expired in September
2006 and a new body was appointed for another three-year period. The members of the governing
body and DFC’s constitution can be seen from appendix 1.
In 2004, DFC entered into a three-year outcome-based contract with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
A new three-year contract for the period 2007-2009 was signed in February 2007.

1.7. Tasks
DFC’s main assignments are:
In Denmark:
- to implement the fellowship assistance within the framework laid down in the
outcome-based contract entered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including
planning and evaluating the fellowship holders education.
- to advise co-operation partners, including programmes and projects, about training
possibilities.
- to attend to the fellowship holders’ social and cultural needs and bring about cultural
exchange between Danes and fellowship holders.
- to run a hostel for the fellowship holders.
Outside Denmark:
- to implement centrally funded fellowship assistance.
- to implement programme/project funded fellowships outside Denmark on request of
programmes and projects.
The mentioned tasks are carried out in co-operation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Danida
programmes/projects and in compliance with the guidelines laid down by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs for implementing centrally and programme/project funded fellowships. These guidelines
include that all fellowships funded by Danida must be administered by DFC in order to ensure the
homogeneity of the quality of the training and living conditions in Denmark.

1.8. Training Activities in Denmark
The activities in Denmark include planning, implementing and monitoring:
1) Danida policy prioritized capacity building (later termed policy courses) within the following
areas:
• Danida’s thematic areas and cross-cutting issues
- gender equality
- democracy, human rights, good governance
- environment
- HIV/AIDS
- strengthening the business climate
- anti-corruption
• other cross-cutting themes
- relieve and prevention of disasters
- assistance in the regions of origin
- strengthening the global climate.
2) Training activities of strategic importance (included under policy courses in the current annual
report), which strengthen the democratic process in countries of specific interest to Denmark.
3) Danida programmes’/projects’ capacity building, which primarily will be based on national
plans for capacity building within the individual sectors. The fellowship assistance is to be
integrated into Danida’s sector programmes and projects, NGO-projects and other activities
financed by Danida. Thus identification, planning and monitoring of the training needs will be
included in the planning and implementation of the programmes, similar to any other
competence development of the employees.
i. Cross-sectorial courses are courses conducted for participants from many different
countries and Danida programmes.
ii. Tailor-made courses are developed specifically to the programme’s/ project’s
needs and wishes, and financed by the programme/project/NGO grants. DFC
negotiates and enters into contract with the place of study on behalf of the
programme.
4) Master and PhD programmes at Danish universities.
5) Study tours for different groups of participants (members of Parliament, municipalities and/or
members of county councils, civil servants etc.).
2) Business fellowships (advance pledge scheme), under which scheme Danish enterprises which
have won a contract (not Danida financed) in a developing country can receive a grant for
training people in Denmark for the partner in the developing country.
5) Trainees, under which scheme Danish enterprises can get travel and living expenses paid in
connection with a trainee period for a partner from a developing country.
6) Sino-Danish Scientific and Technological Co-operation, under which agreement Chinese
researchers are offered to come to Denmark for ten months, maximum 10 researchers per year.
7) PPP (Public-Private Partnerships) include formation of a fellowship fund for studies at Faculty
of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen (former RVAU). The fellowship fund is
administered by a governing board consisting of two representatives from Life Sciences and
one from DFC.
8) Emerging Leaders Scholarship Programme under which programme young professionals from
developing countries from 2007 may be granted a one-year full-time MBA at Copenhagen
Business School. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will match the Danish business enterprise’s
financing of a one-year fellowship. The Danida grant may be given to a candidate from the
Danish business enterprise’s local office or from the local network.
5
9) DFC administers study stays for Danida funded researchers:
a. Research students under Enreca/Council for Development Research (RUF)/
Consultative Research Committee for Development Research - projects granted by
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
b. PhD students and other researchers at DBL - Institute for Health Research and
Development
c. Researchers at Danish Seed Health Centre for Developing Countries (DSHC)
d. Participants at Danish Institute for Human Rights (DIHR)’s Partnership Research
Programme and other courses.
In addition, DFC carries out limited commercial services for the sake of capacity utilization.
1.9. Financing
The central fellowship grant:
Activities financed under the central grant are as follows:
- policy courses
- innovative course activities (e.g. courses conducted in Spanish/French), either cross-sectorial and
tailor-made courses
- topics related to preparation of human resource interventions in programmes/projects
(e.g. Training Need Analyses, Human Resource Development Plan)
- some participants in cross-sectorial courses, if the programme/project can come up with strong
reasons why there are no funds in their budgets
- business and trainee fellowships
- fellowships under the Sino-Danish Scientific and Technological Co-operation
- MBAs at Copenhagen Business School.
Programme/project grants:
- participation in cross-sectorial courses
- tailor-made courses
- masters and PhDs.
The Danida programmes/projects are invoiced the tuition fee according to the actual cost and fixed
list prices for accommodation, allowances and travel expenses.
Administration agreements:
The research programmes/institutions are invoiced fixed list prices for accommodation, allowances
and travel expenses. The relevant Ministry of Foreign Affairs office/Embassy is invoiced the
expenses for study tours.
The distribution of the received grants appears from the breakdown of the audited accounts in
appendix 16.

The number of fellowship months decreased by 11% in comparison with a 4% decrease in number of
fellows. In this way the average length of study continues to go down which is a consequence of the
deliberate reduction of the length of the ‘traditional’ cross-sectorial courses. The activities in 2006
included both more policy courses of three weeks duration and more study tours of a few days
duration.
Four tailor-made courses fully financed by programme funds were conducted in 2006. In addition to
this, 85 fellows’ participation in various courses/studies - policy and cross-sectorial, as well as
participation in Master of International (MIH), University of Copenhagen and Masters of Science at
the Faculty of Life Sciences (former RVAU), University of Copenhagen - was financed by
programme funds.
Other administration:
30 fellows, equal to 19 fellowship months, on short courses in Denmark
20 fellows, equal to 6 fellowship months, on study tours in Denmark.
Commercial services:
leasing of rooms equal to 19 months.
The overall activities are shown in appendices 2 and 3 and the distribution of fellows per developing
country is among other things shown in appendices 4 – 7.
The female share of fellows in Denmark has risen to 34.6% in 2006 from app. 30% the previous
years. The rise is among other things due to a study tour for 26 female Ugandan parliamentarians.
7
1.11. Forecast
The forecast for 2007 is similar to 2005 and 2006 and is app. 800 fellows and 1600 fellowship months,
of which app. 200 fellows are under the administrative agreements. DFC foresees a possible drop in the
number of programme financed participants at cross-sectorial courses and the possible unfortunate
consequences for paying participants if planned courses have to be cancelled.
As the central fellowship grant has been stable for the last couple of years the number of policy courses
will remain at the present level. Several policy courses with new topics are planned, such as Anti-
Corruption and Environmental Mainstreaming and, if the capacity allows it, Aid Harmonization and
Donor Coordination and Communication and Information.
The proposed policy courses in 2007, apart from the new topics, include:
- The Role of Media in the Democratic Process
- Gender Mainstreaming (two courses, of which one course was conducted in French)
- Conflict Management
- HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming
- Integrating Human Rights in Development Programming
and the new cross-sectorial courses include Public Sector Leadership and Training Management and
Development.
Furthermore it is proposed to finance participations via the central grant at the Water and Sanitation in
Emergencies–course run by the University of Copenhagen and a limited number of seats at some of
DFC’s cross-sectorial courses.
DFC is expecting an increased involvement in arranging study tours on behalf of embassies and
different offices at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Business fellowships under the advance pledge scheme have per January 1, 2007, been altered to
include grants of fellowships to Danish enterprises, who have won a contract and not a pledge in
advance as previously.
DFC will continue to work on adapting the courses offered to the needs, including the needs of the
increasing number of programme countries speaking other languages than English. Therefore the
Gender Mainstreaming course again will be conducted in French in 2007. In addition there have been
requests for Organisational Change Management and The Role of Media in the Democratic Process
courses in French.
DFC will focus on continued information and presentation of possibilities for further education in
Denmark and their coordination. This is done by annual inquiries to the programmes and projects about
their needs for further education. Unfortunately until now this has had a very low response rate.
Therefore DFC will increase the number of trips and visits to the programme countries and the overall
goal is to visit the programme countries at least once every second year.
An Emerging Leaders Scholarship Programme is provided for in the Government Budget for 2007 by a
five-year grant within the limit of DKK 50 mill. (equal to DKK 10 mill. per year). The programme
includes one-year full-time MBAs at Copenhagen Business School and the objective is to support
development of leadership potential in emerging economies as well as build competence in the
international operations of Danish firms. The condition is that the Danish firm grant a fellowship to a
candidate from a developing country and Danida will match an equivalent amount for an additional
applicant who is also a citizen of the developing country and either an employee by the Danish firm or
from the network of the Danish firm. The programme is expected to comprise 6-10 candidates for the
academic year 2007/08.

2. REPORTING ON OUTCOME REQUIREMENTS
2.1. Training
2.1.1. Courses/Studies
Reporting:
The annual plan for 2006 was available at the board meeting January 10, 2006, and the annual
plan for 2007 was presented at the board meeting February 22, 2007, together with the budget
estimate for 2007. The annual plans are regularly updated.
Outcome requirements: DFC implements the courses, studies and other training activities
which are granted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Danida programmes/projects, and is
delivering the service and administration for the stay of the number of fellows corresponding to
the courses and studies granted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Danida programmes/
projects.
Reporting:
See appendix 8 for a full list of the fellowship activities in 2006, including course titles, places
of study, country representation, study periods, number of participants, female share etc.
Outcome requirements: Explanation on variations in DFC’s annual key figures for study fees is
available.
Reporting:
The average study fees in the graph below (and in appendix 9) show the real cost per fellowship
month of the categories of courses for which it is possible and relevant to compare fees of the
individual courses (cross-sectorial courses (C-S), tailor-made courses (T-M), business
fellowships (BUS), policy courses (POL)). All the average study fees have risen, which reflects
a non-stagnant fellowship programme. It is more expensive to conduct first time courses than to
repeat a course. In 2006 all the cross-sectorial courses had run previously and the average study
fee for that category of courses has not varied.

DFC is using two different models when developing new courses. For the first model a consultant
in ongoing dialogue with DFC is developing the course and later implementing it. This model was
previously used for the Conflict Management course and in 2006 also for Integrating Human
Rights in Development Programming. For the other model a consultant is preparing the tender
documents and normally three places of study are invited to tender. This model was used for the
Training Management and Development, HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming and Public Sector Leadership
courses. The course topic and availability of capable places of study are factors taken into
consideration when choosing the model.
Outcome requirements: Maximum 5% of the fellows express dissatisfaction with the training
/studies in their final individual evaluation.
Reporting:
The response rate of ‘Course Assessment’ of the final individual evaluation (end-of-study-
questionnaire) was 85%, equal to 350 responses.
The questions are related to actual teaching and therefore the questions are irrelevant for study
tours, which therefore are excluded.
DFC’s measurements of course effect are primarily directed towards measuring changes in the job
behaviour. Measurement of the overall effect in relation to the programme/project activities ought
to be made by the authority responsible for the original need analysis. This is only to a limited
extent covered by DFC’s follow-up-questionnaire which is forwarded to the requesting officers
from Danida’s programmes and projects approximately 18 months after the fellows’ return to
their home country. The aim of the questionnaire is primarily to get an overall quantitative picture
of the effect of the fellowship programme.
Outcome requirements: The effect measurements based on the responses from requesting
officers must show a minimum of 80% of the responses in the two highest categories for effect
on the personal level (”substantial increase” and ”some increase”) and on programme/project
level (”much progress” and ”some progress”), respectively.
Reporting:
In the beginning of 2005 DFC sent out questionnaires on the training impact to Requesting
Officers for all fellows, who participated in cross-sectorial and tailor-made courses in Denmark
in 2002 and 2003. The survey included 744 fellow, who on average had been back at in their
home 1.5 years after completion of the training. The response rate was in total 67 % for the two
years.
2
Overall the survey showed a satisfactory impact at job level and programme/project/
organizational level.
In addition the latest survey shows that 75 % of the fellows still stay with the host organization
2.5 years after the training.
Measurement of the training impact for courses conducted in 2004 and 2005 will be carried out at
the beginning of 2007 and will for the first time be via an electronic questionnaire.
Outcome requirements: Maximum 5% of the fellows express dissatisfaction with their stay in
Denmark in their final individual evaluation.
Reporting:
None of the responses had comments of a very negative nature, but several of the responses
included minor discontentment and/or included proposals for improvements:
- a larger variety of food (not only Danish and cold) when lunch is provided
- English tags on the food in the canteens
- longer periods of study than three weeks
- time for cultural excursions or similar
- more visible DFC (among other things at the fellows’ visits to DFC, DFC personnel’s
participation in evening activities etc.)
- paid and pre-arranged transport to the airport at departure
- better technical support for PC use and internet access.
DFC is continuously evaluating the incoming comments and acting on them if relevant, during
revisions of the programme and the activities.
End-of Study-Questionnaires are not handed over to participants for short study tours. It is a
challenge to DFC to fit in the new target group (e.g. Ministers and high-ranking civil servants)
under DFC’s fundamental principle of uniform treatment and same conditions for all fellows. It
has proved to be vital to ensure that expectations are matching the actual conditions.
2.2.1. Accommodation
As much as possible accommodation is provided at student hostels. In Greater Copenhagen
accommodation is primarily provided in DFC's student hostel on Hostrupsvej with 71 one-room
apartments. In addition DFC has rented 17 apartments at the Øresund Student Hostel on Amager
and 27 rooms at Diakonissestiftelsen in Frederiksberg. At the Diakonissestiftelsen (block C and
D) all rooms have shared kitchen facilities and 17 of the rooms have shared bathroom facilities
(block C).
For courses conducted outside Greater Copenhagen the place of study is always responsible for
providing accommodation and it is primarily provided in student hostels attached to the places of
study.
3
In 2007 DFC will be included in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ hotel price agreement, which
will not have a major influence on DFC’s choice of hotel or the overall cost. DFC is the largest
unit in the agreement with regard to number of bed-nights, why DFC has had a substantial say in
the included hotels and the agreed conditions.
Reporting:
The fellows’ comments for 2006 show that they are highly satisfied with DFC’s own hostel and
Øresund Student Hostel. The comments repeated by numerous fellows can be split into physical
conditions and the level of service.
Physical conditions:
- sharing of kitchen facilities (Diakonissestiftelsen)
- sharing of bathroom facilities (Diakonissestiftelsen)
- poor maintenance of the bathroom facilities (Diakonissestiftelsen)
- one kitchen sink to be shared by ten people (Diakonissestiftelsen)
- narrow beds.
Level of service:
- no telephone in the individual rooms (DFC)
- lack of telephone communication between the rooms (DFC)
- not sufficient supply of kitchen utensils (DFC).
Diakonissestiftelsen:
To improve the facilities DFC has a continuous dialogue with the maintenance department at
Diakonissestiftelsen. In addition the kitchens have been re-organised in 2006 so the fellows
have got their own personal utensils. A microwave oven has been purchased for
Dronningensvej 4 (block D). DFC has introduced kitchen meetings where the residents can
meet on a regular basis and discuss common rules and problems. In 2007 DFC will avoid
accommodating individuals in block D as much as possible and instead primarily use it for
groups like in block C.
DFC:
In the beginning of 2006 wireless Internet connection was installed at the DFC hostel. In
addition the fellows can access Skype in the computer room in order to make their
communication with their home country cheaper and easier. DFC expects that the potentials of
4
the internet in the long term will eliminate the need for both telephone and TV in the individual
rooms.
In 2006 DFC applied for more rooms at Øresund Student Hostel. The governing board of
Øresund Student Hostel will meet in April 2007. The request is based on the fact that the
conditions at Diakonissestiftelsen are far from optimal and that DFC in certain periods has
more fellows than can be accommodated at DFC and Øresund Student Hostel.
DFC endeavours to inform the newly arrived about the facilities and level of service in order
for the expectations to match the realitity.
Outcome requirements: DFC has a minimum of 72% effective utilization of DFC’s student
hostel and Øresund Student Hostel, and only use of hotel accommodation to a larger extent
when this effective utilization has been exceeded
Reporting:
115 hostel rooms are at DFC’s disposal. As the rooms at Diakonissestiftelsen do not all have
individual bathrooms and all have shared kitchen facilities Diakonissestiftelsen is only used in
case of full utilization of DFC’s own hostel and Øresund Student Hostel. Hotel accommodation
is only used when it is not possible to accommodate the whole group at one of the hostels or
Diakonissestiftelsen. The effective utilization of all rooms was 68.6%, and of the two hostels
with full satisfactory quality 74.3%. Overall there was a fall in fellowship months in Denmark,
but it is for study stays outside Greater Copenhagen only and there has actually been a small
rise in fellowship months for Greater Copenhagen. There was therefore a rise in bed-nights
concurrently with an increase in the effective utilization of the DFC hostel and Øresund Student
Hostel.
Outcome requirements: Explanation on variations in DFC’s annual key figures for the
accommodation is available.
Reporting:
The key figure for the monthly cost of accommodation has increased by 15% in relation to
2005 in spite of the fact that the effective utilization was increased a little and the rise in bed-
nights was limited to 4%. The increase of the average cost may be explained by the fact that the
fall in overall fellowship months included stays outside Greater Copenhagen where normally
cheaper hostel accommodation is being used. In addition the time for cleaning and getting the
rooms ready will have a larger impact for short stays, and there was a small fall in the average
study length from 1.9 to 1.8 fellowship months from 2005 to 2006.
Further information about the accommodation situation can be seen from appendix 10.
5
DFC is preparing a monthly activity programme for
the fellows living in Greater Copenhagen which will
typically consist of two or three activities during the
weekend (excursions or the like) in addition to
activities in the café during the week.
The centre also has various recreational facilities: table tennis, billiards, outdoor badminton and
volleyball, a variety of games (chess, scrabble etc.), TV, video cassette player, DVD player, library,
exercise room, and computers with access to the Internet. In 2006 DFC bought a projector in order to
show films and special TV broadcast/sports on a big screen.
The various social and cultural activities are further presented in appendix 11.
Outcome requirement: Minimum 80% of all first arrivals are offered orientation on Denmark.
Reporting:
369 fellows out of 616 first arrivals, equivalent to 60%, were attending orientation courses on
Denmark in 2006, distributed on seven three-day courses (Thursday to Saturday), six one-day
courses and three mini-evening courses. The mini courses are held for participants at short
training courses where the majority of the information about Denmark is already included in the
curriculum of the training course.
With the changed composition of the fellows it is impossible to maintain the offer of orientation
about Denmark to a minimum of 80% of all first arrivals. Among other things there is an
increasing number of fellows who are taught in another language than English. In 2006 60
fellows were studying in Spanish and French, and one business fellowship course with Chinese
participants was held with a Chinese interpretor. Furthermore there were several study tours of
one week’s duration or less, equal to 71 fellows. Of the English speaking fellows who were in
Denmark longer than one week 76% were attending orientation courses. The remaining fellows
not attending any orientation courses were in Denmark on very short study periods, primarily
business fellowships where it was not possible to fit in the orientation on Denmark to the
training programme.
DFC’s counselling services are from the end of 2006 carried out by both a male and a female
counsellor, among other things to comply with the need for counselling in case of sex related
illnesses and crises.
There was a relatively low number of severe illnesses in 2006. Several fellows consulted eye and
ear specialists, and a number of fellows was diagnosed with malaria and type 1 or 2 diabetes. One
fellow suffered from a serious personal crisis which resulted in termination of the study in
6
Denmark. Two fellows were involved in a serious and long conflict with another fellow from the
same country. The conflict was solved.
A number of female fellows were pregnant on arrival to Denmark but the pregnancy did not affect
their ability to participate in the training and all returned to their home country before giving birth.
A few have requested and received assistance on contraception.
In accordance with DFC’s family policy for fellows staying in Denmark longer than 12
consecutive months the spouses of three fellows were visiting Denmark in 2007 and one fellow
chose a home visit.
2.2.5. Insurance
Fellows are provided with insurance covering accidents, legal aid, household effects, and baggage
with TRYG during their whole stay in Denmark. If they are in Denmark for more than three
months, they are registered at the national registration office and thus covered by the public health
insurance. Those who stay less than three months are covered by TRYG’s health and home
transport insurance. Household effects, baggage and health and home transport insurances are
administrative arrangements. The other insurances are covered by a fixed premium per fellow per
week in Denmark.
Breakdown of the insurance expenditure is presented in appendix 13.
2.3. Communication
Outcome requirement: Number of “visitors” from developing countries to DFC’s web site is
increasing.
Reporting:
Unfortunately it is not possible to differentiate in relation to the visitors’ home country. The
statistics below therefore include all visitors. There is a distinct increase in relation to 2005,
where the average was around 2300 visits per month.

Reporting:
Following countries were visited during 2006:
Education Adviser Morten Nielsen was in Mozambique in February 2006 in connection with
negotiations of MSc at the Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen
Education Adviser Jytte Bertelsen participated in the Danida Health Seminar in November
2006 for all Danida health sector advisers in Arusha and thereafter visited the embassies in
Tanzania and Uganda
The objective of the visits is to brief about DFC’s activities and mission, including information
about the possibilities of the fellowship programme and enhancement of the dialogue between
DFC and the customers/givers of assignments (embassies, programmes/projects).
Reporting:
In the beginning of 2006 one of the academic trained employees retired, and a replacement was
employed by April 15, 2006. In addition to this minor redeployments with relation to the
distribution of responsibilities were carried out and a new employee got the combined position
as accommodation and administrative officer.
The position as counsellor was split into two part-time positions and the newly appointed
counsellor also got the overall responsibility for the social and cultural activities so this position
is no longer on repeated two-year contracts.
DFC was in 2006 hit by three long absences due to illness of three, two and four months,
respectively. In the first case the employee is back at work on full time, in the second case the
employee is still on reduced time and in the last case the employee chose to give notice of
resignation at the end of the absence. Average number of days lost through illness deducted the
long absences (absences longer than 30 days) is 5.5 for DFC and 5.4 for the Public Sector.

The caretaker’s apartment has been assigned to a Danish student, who functions as an ”on-call”
guard, whom the fellows can call upon in case of emergencies.
Outcome requirement: DFC’s energy consumption is at the same level or less in relation to the
previous year, calculated separately for the secretariat and per occupied room.
Reporting:
The energy consumption has increased slightly for heating and has decreased for electricity.
The last 3 years consumption of heating, electricity and water can be seen from appendix 15.
2.4.3. Economy
DFC presents separate accounts for operational expenses and the fellowship administration.
The budget for DFC’s operational expenses as well as the budget estimate for the fellowship
administration, both for 2007 were approved by DFC’s governing body at the board meeting on
February 22, 2007.
DFC’s ”list prices”, which are the prices DFC invoices the Danida programmes and projects, are
for 2007 fixed at DKK 1,650/week for allowances and DKK 1,000/week for accommodation. This
contributes a minor increase for accommodation, but allowances are unchanged in relation to the
list prices for 2005.

DFC’s financial management tool is an Excel-file (”Øko-listen”) to which data are exported
directly from DFC’s database. The file is updated on a daily basis.
Outcome requirement: Explanation for variations in the DFC annual key figures for study fees is
prepared.
Reporting:
The key figures in appendix 17 are based on the audited accounts. There is a large increase in the
key figure for study fees in relation to 2005, which was very low due to periodized payments. In
relation to 2004 there is an increase of 9% which may be explained by generally shorter courses.
The average length of studies has fallen by 22% from 2004 to 2006.
Outcome requirement: The increase in the annual key figure for travels is equal or less than the
index increase of Statistics Denmark’s “Passenger Transport by Airplanes”.
Reporting:
The key figure for travels seen from appendix 17 is similar to 2005, but in comparison the index
figure of “Passenger Transport by Airplanes” from Statistics Denmark has decreased with 7.1 %.
DFC has revised the procedure for registration of journeys and the number of journeys is
therefore changed for 2005. There is an overall decrease of 11.6 % over the last four years in
relation to the index decrease of 3.2 %

The business fellowship courses are relatively expensive due to short courses and few participants per course. No profit
is included when the firms are conducting the course themselves. In 2006 this was the situation for more than 80 % of
the courses.

Øresund Student Hostel is used to house fellows studying for longer periods, e.g. research fellows and fellows
returning to Denmark for the second study phase, and who previously have been staying at the DFC student hostel.
Capacity Utilization:
DFC regards 72 percent effective utilization as optimal with consideration to cleaning, maintenance and periodized
study dates (commercial suppliers indicate 60-70 percent as satisfactory). Even though all the long leases fulfil
DFC’s standard for hostel accommodation it is only DFC’s own hostel and Øresund Student Hostel, which have an
overall high satisfactory quality.
The café was open every evening all year round, except for one weekly closing day during the month of July.
x Visits to museums, among other places the Resistance Museum, Experimentarium, the Open Air Museum,

x Guided tours, among other places to Rosenborg Castle, Lejre Experimental Centre, a radio station, a farm,
Denmark’s Aquarium, Christiania and Carlsberg Breweries.
x Activities in town, such as carnival, the Night of Culture, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Ghanaian Blues in

x Physical activities, among others DHL-relay race with participation of fellows and DFC staff, ice skating,
various jogging and other sports activities. In addition badminton once a month.
x Day trips to flee markets, Lübeck, Lund/Sweden, Skagen (weekend trip), Roskilde Agricultural Fair, trip to
the beach, Flakfortet, Hubertus Hunt, Odense and Egeskov Castle and fishing trip at Øresund.
WEEKEND ARRANGEMENTS
Fellows living west of the Great Belt are offered one arrangement every month which can either be an orientation
course on Denmark, a weekend trip to Copenhagen or a weekend trip to Aarhus.
Fellows living east of the Great Belt are offered weekend trips to Aarhus like any other activity outside Copenhagen,
i.e. they will be charged a certain amount.
All weekends were arranged by sTUDENTERHUS åRHUS (former International Student Centre) in Aarhus.
In Copenhagen:
The expenses include transport, accommodation and expenses for the activities for all participants.
In Aarhus:
There were three weekend arrangements in Aarhus with a total of 115 participants, of which 46 participants were
living east of the Great Belt.
Total expenses for the weekend arrangements in Aarhus DKK 106,205 per participant DKK
923
less payments by participants for one of the weekends DKK - 26,200
Total paid over the fellowship grant DKK 80,005
APPENDIX 12
Orientation about Denmark is one of DFC's important tasks, and courses are arranged for the purpose of improving the
fellows' knowledge of the surrounding society through lectures and discussions, visits, excursions, and social
arrangements. The idea is also to make the fellows feel welcome in Denmark. The fellows have time and opportunity to
talk with each other, so that their stay also contributes to developing respect for each other and for different cultures. The
orientation courses consist of a mixture of lectures and visits/excursions. Participation is compulsory for all fellows who
are in Denmark for the first time under DFC's auspices.
In 2006, 369 fellows out of 616 first arrivals attended orientation courses, equivalent to 60 %
Total expenses for three-day, one-day and mini orientation courses in 2006 DKK 864,605
