BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Danmission (DM) is a 200-year-old Danish faith-based organization working across 12 partner countries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Danmission’s vision is to ‘promote SUSTAINABLE EXISTENCE – for a world, people can live in and PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE – for a world people can live in together. Danmission has been present in the Middle East since approximately 1904. Registered locally in Lebanon, Danmission works within the thematic areas of faith-driven social action, interfaith dialogue and peacebuilding, and natural resource sustainability and justice.

Digital engagement plays an important role in Danmission’s response to global shifts in the fields of communication, fundraising, advocacy, and development.
