DELAWARE GROUP GLOBAL & INTERNATIONAL FUNDS
CLASS C
DISTRIBUTION PLAN
The following Distribution Plan (the "Plan") has been adopted pursuant
to Rule l2b-l under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"),
by Delaware Group Global & International Funds (the "Trust"), separately for
each Series of the Trust identified on Schedule I as amended from time to time
(the "Series") on behalf of the C Class shares of each such Series identified on
Schedule I as amended from time to time (the "Class"), which Trust, Series and
Classes may do business under these or such other names as the Board of Trustees
of the Trust may designate from time to time. The Plan has been approved by a
majority of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are
not interested persons of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of the Plan or in any agreements related thereto
("non-interested Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting on such Plan. Such approval by the Trustees included a determination
that in the exercise of reasonable business judgment and in light of their
fiduciary duties, there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit
each such Series and shareholders of each such Class.
The Trust is a business trust organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware, is authorized to issue different series and classes of securities and
is an open-end management investment company registered under the Act. Delaware
Distributors, L.P. (the "Distributor") is the principal underwriter and national
distributor for the Series' shares, including shares of the Class, pursuant to
the Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Trust on behalf of
each Series ("Distribution Agreement").
The Plan provides that:
l. (a) The Trust shall pay to the Distributor, out of the
assets of a particular Class, a monthly fee not to
exceed the fee rate set forth on Schedule I for such
Class as may be determined by the Trust's Board of
Trustees from time to time.
(b) In addition to the amounts described in (a) above,
the Trust shall pay (i) to the Distributor for payment to dealers or others, or
(ii) directly to others, an amount not to exceed the service fee rate set forth
on Schedule I for such Class, as a service fee pursuant to dealer or servicing
agreements.
2. (a) The Distributor shall use the monies paid to it
pursuant to paragraph l (a) above to assist in the distribution and promotion of
shares of the relevant Class. Payments made to the Distributor under the Plan
may be used for, among other things, preparation and distribution of
advertisements, sales literature and prospectuses and reports used for sales
purposes, as well as compensation related to sales and marketing personnel, and
holding special promotions. In addition, such fees may be used to pay for
advancing the commission costs to dealers with respect to the sale of the
relevant Class shares.
(b) The monies to be paid pursuant to paragraph 1(b)
above shall be used to pay dealers or others for, among other things, furnishing
personal services and maintaining shareholder accounts, which services include
confirming that customers have received the Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, if applicable; assisting such customers in maintaining
proper records with the Trust; answering questions relating to their respective
accounts; and aiding in maintaining the investment of their respective customers
in the relevant Class.

3. The Distributor shall report to the Trust at least monthly on
the amount and the use of the monies paid to it under paragraph 1(a) above. In
addition, the Distributor and others shall inform the Trust monthly and in
writing of the amounts paid under paragraph 1(b) above; both the Distributor and
any others receiving fees under the Plan shall furnish the Board of Trustees of
the Trust with such other information as the Board may reasonably request in
connection with the payments made under the Plan with respect to each Class and
the use thereof by the Distributor and others in order to enable the Board to
make an informed determination of the amount of the Trust's payments and whether
the Plan should be continued with respect to each Class.
4. The officers of the Trust shall furnish to the Board of
Trustees of the Trust, for their review, on a quarterly basis, a written report
of the amounts expended under the Plan with respect to each Class and the
purposes for which such expenditures were made.
5. This Plan shall take effect with respect to the C Class of a
particular Series as of the effective date set forth on Schedule I (the
"Commencement Date"); thereafter, the Plan shall continue in effect with respect
to the C Class of a particular Series for a period of more than one year from
the Commencement Date only so long as such continuance is specifically approved
at least annually by a vote of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, and of the
non-interested Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of
voting on such Plan.
6. (a) The Plan may be terminated as to the C Class of any
particular Series at any time by vote of a majority of the non-interested
Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such
Class.
(b) The Plan may not be amended as to the C Class of any
particular Series to increase materially the amount to be spent for distribution
pursuant to paragraph l hereof without approval by the shareholders of such
Class.
7. All material amendments to this Plan shall be approved by the
non-interested Trustees in the manner described in paragraph 5 above.
8. So long as the Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination
of the Trust's non-interested Trustees shall be committed to the discretion of
such non-interested Trustees.
9. The definitions contained in Sections 2(a)(19) and 2(a)(42) of
the Act shall govern the meaning of "interested person(s)" and "vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities," respectively, for the purposes
of this Plan.
This Plan shall take effect on the Commencement Date, as previously
defined.
