THE SOONER
THE BETTER
CARE International is one of the largest humanitarian organisations
in the world. In 2013 the work of CARE International strengthened the
capacity of 93 million people in 86 countries. CARE Danmark runs long-term
programmes in nine of these countries.
CARE Danmark supports the world’s poorest families in their efforts to get
food on the table and work their way out of poverty. In rural areas in the
world’s poorest countries it is a constant struggle to get enough food for
your family. In these areas, the climate; access to markets; and the lack of
information and rights create enormous challenges.
CARE Danmark works together with partner organisations in the
countries where we operate. Through education and training, the goal is
to strengthen poor people so they can fight their way out of poverty. CARE
Danmark’s work is focused on prevention of disasters and helping people
help themselves, because it saves lives and reduces suffering.
CARE Danmark brings our work into action before disasters strike in order
to create long lasting solutions together with poor and vulnerable people.
That is why we say: the sooner, the better.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS’
REPORT 2013
Why does the world need international
humanitarian organisations? The question
might sound provocative. There is still a lot
of suffering and poverty in poor countries in
the world. But things are changing... And in
some places this change is taking place fast –
particularly in Asia and South America. In
Africa, the economy is also growing creating
opportunities for African countries to assume
responsibility for tasks, which rightfully are
theirs, but which humanitarian organisations
have performed for decades.
At the same time, a truly positive development is
taking place in civil society. New and strong local
organisations are being founded and
are growing. They have both the will power
and ability to solve a majority of the tasks,
which international organisations previously
have carried out. The local organisations are
increasingly becoming the backbone of

CARE’s work. When we support them, we are
supporting sustainable development and
maintaining strong public pressure on
governments to deliver the services, which
their citizens are entitled to – food, water, land,
security, health, education and so forth.
In CARE Danmark we are excited about this
development, and we are eager to seize the
opportunity and find new ways in which we
can support our partners. One obvious and
powerful way to this is to act as their
representatives and bring their interests
into our part of the world. CARE Danmark
has followed the international climate
negotiations for a long time. They perfectly
exemplify how events taking place here have
enormous consequences for poor people in
the rest of the world. For the same reason we
invite our partners to join us when negotiations
take place, and we work hard to ensure that

they have a chance to let their voices be heard,
when deals are made.
But there are a lot of other areas, which are
interconnected and influence the world’s
poorest people. One example is when
the European dairy industry venture into
new markets, because EU removes the
quotas on the production of milk. This has the
potential of threatening a large group of very
poor milk farmers in Western Africa, who
cannot compete with the low price of European
subsidised milk powder. This is why CARE
Danmark is starting a new project, which will
gather representatives of the European dairy
industry, milk farmers from West Africa
and scientists in a number of round
table discussions. Here the participants
can talk about consequences, differing
interest and possible investments in local
dairy production in Western Africa. In this way

At the same time, results need to be made

Annual Report 2013
FINANCIAL REVIEW 2013
In 2013, CARE Danmark had a total income of 115 millioner kroner,
of which 48 million kroner came from the framework agreement with
Danida. CARE Danmark also received support from the EU and the
Governments of Austria, Finland and the UK. Added to this were
significant contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations.
Fundraising activities
In 2013, the income from individuals, corporations and foundations
were above the level of 2012. The income has – among other factors
– gone up due to CARE Danmark’s partnership with Coop, where the
‘Charity Button’, which we run together with Children’s Welfare, brought
in 3 million kroner to CARE Danmark. Private donations amounted to
28.2 million kroner and accounted for 25 per cent of the total income.
The majority of this year’s private fundraising came from regular
contributions from support members and amounted to 16.5 million
kroner, of which 4.6 million kroner came from memberships. The
number of support members in 2012 was 15,472 and in 2013 it was
15,295. The number of donors increased from 25,092 in 2012 to
26,022 in 2013.
Partnerships with corporations are central to CARE Danmark’s
fundraising strategy. Among other strategic partnerships is CARE
Danmark’s and Coop’s partnership, Kilimo Biashara, in Kenya. In 2013
CARE Danmark received a total of 8.7 million kroner from corporations
and foundations, which is more than in 2012.
In 2013, CARE Danmark was also part of the yearly national
telethon, Danmarks Indsamling, where 76 million kroner was raised.
6
Annual Report 2013
CARE Danmark’s share of the funds amounted to 3.1 million kroner.
The money is earmarked a project on poor women’s land rights in Niger.
It is noted with satisfaction that CARE Danmark once again has
succeeded in keeping an overall high level of fundraising.
However CARE Danmark is experiencing a decrease in members
and in the size of donations as are other organisations. This is a
matter that CARE Danmark will have to improve in the coming
years. Support from private individuals is crucial to CARE Danmark’s
work and future.
Annual result and expectations for 2014
The final accounts for 2013 show a profit of 1,691,000 kroner, and at
December 31, 2013, the reserves amounted to a total of 12.1 million
kroner. CARE Danmark hereby continues the recent years of economic
growth. The financial results of 2013 are satisfactory in regards to
CARE Danmark’s long term goal of building its reserves.
The administration rate has gone up from 12 per cent in 2012 to
13 per cent in 2013. This is due to a decrease in the total income
from public institutions. It is expected that the income from public
institutions in 2014 will be at the same level as in 2013.
CARE Danmark expects a profit of a total of 3 million kroner in
2014 to further consolidate the reserves. The framework grant from
Danida is at 48 million kroner. It is expected that there will be
opportunities for additional individual project funding from Danida in
2014. At the same time the well-established cooperation with the EU
and other foreign institutional donors is expected to continue in 2014.

ABOUT CARE
CARE International
CARE is a non-political and non-religious
organisation consisting of 13 autonomous
organisations in Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark,
France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Japan, the
Netherlands, Norway, Thailand and USA.
These organisations work autonomously each with
their unique core competences within the fields
of development assistance and emergencies. At
CARE’s country offices however all 13 organisations
coordinate their respective activities closely.
Internationally, CARE is one of the world’s largest
humanitarian organisations with programmes in 86
countries supporting more than 93 million people in
2013.
The core principle of all CARE programming is that
the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people
must be empowered so that they become capable of
improving the livelihoods of themselves and their
families.

CARE Danmark
CARE

focuses
on
long-term
development assistance in nine countries in Africa
and Asia based on the principle of helping people
help themselves.
This is why CARE Danmark works in close
cooperation with local communications. Local staff
makes up 97 per cent of all CARE country office staff,
ensuring sustainability of activities as well as effective locally based operations.
In addition, CARE Danmark partners with civil society
organisations in the countries, where the programmes
take place. In this way CARE Danmark enables grass
root organisations to strengthen their voice and level
of influence in dealing with governments on issues
concerning the right to food, water, land, health
care, participation in decision-making processes and
gender equality.

CARE Danmark Award 2013
The CARE Danmark Award is presented annually for
outstanding achievements in support of the CARE Danmark
cause. In 2013 the award went to Coop for putting actions
behind their words on corporate social responsibility. CARE
Danmark and Coop work in a strategic partnership with
small-scale farmers in Kenya. We also work together on
the Charity Button on the Bottle Refund Machines in Coop’s
supermarkets. CARE Danmark is proud of and grateful for
having been selected to be the partner on the Charity
Button in 2013 and 2014.
