The PROGRAM

The Danish Arab Partnership Programme, DAPP, consists of two large components: The Youth Inclusion and Employment Project, which is divided into two inter-linked components of which a consortium consisting of DNO, Danish Chamber of Commerce, Action Aid Denmark and GAME has been awarded the so-called component 1 focusing on skills development and employment for youths in Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia and Morocco.  Component 2 is focusing on human rights and is currently being tendered, and is not owned by DNO and its consortium.
