Global Focus (in English) or Globalt Fokus (in Danish) is the umbrella organisation for Danish non-governmental organisations engaged in international development, humanitarian action, and environmental protection.[1]
Global Focus was established in May 2014 through the merger of two predecessor organisations: NGO FORUM and Concord Denmark.[2] The mission of the organisation is to connect its member organisations with relevant politicians, governmental institutions, and the Danish media.[3]
The members of Global Focus are diverse, ranging from large non-profits with offices all around the world to smaller associations which only work in specific sectors or in specific countries. Global Focus supports its member organisations through capacity-building, political advocacy, and public campaigning. As the Danish member in the Brussels-based CONCORD platform, Global Focus also contributes to the collective advocacy at the level of the European Union and participates in other global civil society initiatives.[3]
The organisation maintains a secretariat with approximately 20 staff members in Copenhagen. The governance consists of 15 board members who are elected by the General Assembly.[4]
