Uganda was the African country that received the highest sum of net official development assistance (ODA) from Denmark in 2020. It was also the country that received the highest net ODA from Denmark worldwide that year. The Nordic country's aid contribution to the East African country amounted to 68.5 million U.S. dollars. Kenya followed in second at 60 million dollars, followed by Somalia in third. Egypt both had negative values, meaning that loan repayments were higher than the total sum received.

The source adds the following information: 'Official development assistance (ODA) is defined as government aid designed to promote the economic development and welfare of developing countries. Loans and credits for military purposes are excluded. Aid may be provided bilaterally, from donor to recipient, or channeled through a multilateral development agency such as the United Nations or the World Bank. Aid includes grants, "soft" loans and the provision of technical assistance. The OECD maintains a list of developing countries and territories; only aid to these countries counts as ODA.'
Negative values mean that loan repayments were higher than total ODA received.
