Denmark–Uganda relations are foreign relations between Denmark and Uganda. Denmark has an embassy in Kampala, and Uganda has an embassy in Copenhagen.[1][2] Diplomatic relations were established on 1 April 1968.[3] On 12 November 1971, Denmark and Uganda signed a treaty on a Danish Government loan to Uganda.[4] Bilateral relations between Denmark and Uganda are described as strong.[5]

After the signing of the Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2014, 50 million DKK a year of Danish subsidies were rerouted away from the Ugandan government and towards civil organizations, with plans to do the same for all 310 million.[6] [7] [8]

Assistance

Uganda is a Danish programme country.[9] Denmark has assisted with improved water supply for the last 10 years.[10]

Denmark supports good governance and human development. The assistance began in 2001.[9][11]
