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. | Photo: Kenya - Brendan Bannon - Coop | 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 His royal highness Prince Joachim Patron of CARE Danmark 4 Annual Report 2013 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 Niels Tofte National Director of CARE Danmark Christian s. Nissen Freelance Consultant Chair 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 Bjarne H.

At the same time, results need to be made in our ongoing projects. We are documenting results and effects of our work like never before. In CARE Danmark we believe that it is only reasonable and fair that we demonstrate the end results – and not just how we spent the money on activities. To document this we have made an effort to develop new systems and methods. 2013 was the year where we said goodbye to Leo Bjørnskov and acknowledged his tireless efforts as Chairman of the Board of Directors in CARE Danmark. He was replaced by Christian S. Nissen, who has been member of the Board of Directors in CARE Danmark since 2005. Bjarne H. Sørensen took on the role as Deputy Chairman. Ulla Röttger CEO 5 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.

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. 8 Annual Report 2013 CARE Danmark CARE Danmark 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.
