In her recent article for GlobalNyt our PhD researcher Pernille Bærendtsen discusses the closure of Danish country programme and embassy in Tanzania. In her article she brings in perspectives from both Tanzanian and Danish side, reflecting on what this "re-prioritization" of Danish development means for both nations, and how this reflects wider trends in Danish foreign policy:
"Lukningen af et stort landeprogram i Tanzania frigiver resurser, der skal styrke en politik, som ifølge Kofod skal ’sikre danskernes sikkerhed og tryghed’. Det handler om den danske regering og dens politik, budgetter, alliancer og prioriteringer. Og her kan Tanzania tilsyneladende ikke nok."
