COMBINED PROXY STATEMENT

JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To be held on Wednesday, August 19, 2009

     Meeting Information. The Board of Directors or Trustees (each Board is hereafter referred to as a “Board of Directors” and Board members are referred to as “Directors”) of each Fund listed on the accompanying Notice is soliciting your proxy to be voted at the Joint Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. at the offices of Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP located at One Commerce Square, 2005 Market Street, 26^th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 and/or at any adjournments of the meeting (hereafter, the “Meeting”). Only Fund shareholders will be admitted to the Meeting.

     General Voting Information. You may provide proxy instructions by returning the Proxy Card(s) by mail in the enclosed envelope. The persons designated on the Proxy Card(s) as proxies will vote your shares as you instruct on each Proxy Card. If you return a signed Proxy Card without any voting instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Proposal listed on the Notice in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors. The persons designated on the Proxy Card(s) as proxies will also be authorized to vote (or to withhold their vote) in their discretion on any other matters which properly come before the Meeting. They may also vote in their discretion to adjourn the Meeting. If you sign and return a Proxy Card, you may still attend the Meeting to vote your shares in person. If your shares are held of record by a broker and you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you should obtain a legal proxy from your broker of record and present it at the Meeting. You may also revoke your proxy at any time before the Meeting: (i) by notifying Delaware Investments in writing at 2005 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103; (ii) by submitting a later signed Proxy Card; or (iii) by voting your shares in person at the Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of your broker, you will have to make arrangements with your broker to revoke any previously executed proxy.

     Each shareholder may cast one vote for each full share and a partial vote for each partial share of a Fund that they owned of record on June 23, 2009. Exhibit A shows the number of shares of each Fund that were outstanding on the record date and Exhibit B lists the shareholders who owned 5% or more of each Fund on that date. It is expected that this Combined Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card(s) will be mailed to shareholders of record on or about July 8, 2009.

     This proxy solicitation is being made largely by mail, but may also be made by officers or employees of the Funds or their investment manager or affiliates, through telephone, facsimile, or other communications. The Funds may also employ a professional proxy solicitation firm, but do not presently plan to do so. In the event a proxy solicitor is used, the cost will be borne by the Funds. The Funds may reimburse banks, brokers or dealers for their reasonable expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of the Funds’ shares.

     Required Votes. All shareholders of a Fund vote together to elect Directors. The amount of votes of each Fund that are needed to approve the Proposal vary. The voting requirements with respect to the Proposal are described within the Proposal. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for each Fund at the Meeting. They will be treated as votes present at the Meeting, but will not be treated as votes cast. They therefore would have no effect on a proposal which requires a plurality of votes cast for approval, but would have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” a proposal requiring a majority of votes present. “Broker non-votes” arise when shares are held in street name and the broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner. “Broker non-votes” occur when a meeting has (1) a “routine” proposal, such as the election of directors, where the applicable stock exchange permits brokers to vote their clients’ shares in their discretion, and (2) a “non-routine” proposal, such as a change to a fundamental investment policy, where the applicable exchange does not permit brokers to vote their clients’ shares in their discretion. The shares that are considered to be present as a result of the broker discretionary vote on the routine proposal but that are not voted on the non-routine proposal are called “broker non-votes.” Because the Proposal presented is considered to be a “routine” voting item, the Funds do not expect to recognize broker non-votes.

     The presence in person or by proxy of holders of a majority of outstanding shares shall constitute quorum for each Fund. In the event that a quorum is not present or if sufficient votes are not received consistent with the Board’s recommendation on the adoption of the Proposal, management may propose an adjournment or adjournments of the Meeting for a Fund. Any adjournment would require a vote in favor of the adjournment by the holders of a majority of the shares present at the Meeting in person or by proxy. The persons named as proxies on the Proxy Card(s) may vote (or withhold their vote) in their discretion on any proposed adjournment.

     Copies of the Funds’ most recent Annual Report and Semi-Annual Report, including financial statements, have previously been delivered to shareholders. Copies of these reports are available upon request, at no charge by writing the Funds at the address shown on the top of the previous page of the Combined Proxy Statement or by calling toll free 1-800-523-1918.

THE PROPOSAL: TO ELECT A BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR EACH FUND

     You are being asked to elect each of the current members of the Board of Directors for your Fund. The nominees are: Thomas L. Bennett, Patrick P. Coyne, John A. Fry, Anthony D. Knerr, Lucinda S. Landreth, Ann R. Leven, Thomas F. Madison, Janet L. Yeomans, and J. Richard Zecher.

     If elected, these persons will serve as Directors until the next annual meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of electing Directors, and/or until their successors have been elected and qualify for office. It is not expected that any nominee will withdraw or become unavailable for election, but in such a case, the power given by you in the Proxy Card may be used by the persons named as proxies to vote for a substitute nominee or nominees as recommended by the existing Board of Directors.

*      As of April 30, 2009, Mr. Zecher owned 1000 shares of common stock of Delaware Investments Arizona Municipal Income Fund, Inc.

     Board, Shareholder and Committee Meetings.Each of Delaware Investments Arizona Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Delaware Investments Colorado Municipal Income Fund, Inc., Delaware Investments National Municipal Income Fund, and Delaware Investments Minnesota Municipal Fund II, Inc., (each, a “Municipal Fund,” and collectively, the “Municipal Funds”) held ten Board meetings during the last full fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Delaware Investments Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (“DDF”), Delaware Enhanced Global Dividend and Income Fund (“DEX”) and Delaware Investments Global Dividend and Income Fund, Inc. (“DGF”) held ten Board meetings during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008. Each Director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the Board meetings described above and the total number of meetings of committees on which the Director serves. Directors are encouraged to attend each annual meeting of shareholders either in person or by telephone, if possible. All Directors were present at the Funds’ annual meeting held on August 20, 2008.

     Each Fund has an Audit Committee for the purpose of meeting, on a regular basis, with the Fund’s officers and independent auditors to oversee the quality of financial reporting and the internal controls of each Fund, and for such other purposes as the Board of Directors may from time to time direct. The Audit Committee of each Fund consists of the following four Directors appointed by the Board: Thomas F. Madison, Chairperson; Thomas L. Bennett; John A. Fry; and J. Richard Zecher. Each Audit Committee member is not an “interested person” of the Funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and each meets the standard of independence for Audit Committee members set forth in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and NYSE AMEX Equities (“NYSE AMEX”) (formerly, the “American Stock Exchange”). Members of the Audit Committee serve for two year terms or until their successors have been appointed and qualified. The Audit Committee held five meetings for DDF, DEX and DGF for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 and six meetings for the Municipal Funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The Board of Directors of each Fund has adopted a written charter for each Fund’s Audit Committee, attached as Exhibit C. A current copy of the Audit Committee’s charter is also available on the Funds’ website at www.delawareinvestments.com.

     Each Fund’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) is comprised of the following four Directors appointed by the Board: John A. Fry, Chairperson; Anthony D. Knerr; Lucinda S. Landreth, and Ann R. Leven (ex-officio), all of whom meet the independence requirements set forth in the listing standards of the NYSE and NYSE AMEX and are not “interested persons” under the 1940 Act. The Nominating Committee recommends nominees for independent Directors for consideration by the incumbent independent Directors of each Fund, and the Nominating Committee recommends nominees for interested Directors for consideration by the full Board of each Fund. The Nominating Committee held five meetings during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 for DDF, DEX and DGF and five meetings for the Municipal Funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Each Fund’s Board of Directors has adopted a formal charter for the Nominating Committee setting forth its responsibilities, attached as Exhibit D. A current copy of the Nominating Committee’s charter is also available on the Funds’ website at www.delawareinvestments.com.

     The Nominating Committee will consider shareholder recommendations for nominations to the Board of Directors only in the event that there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors. Shareholders who wish to submit recommendations for nominations to the Board to fill a vacancy must submit their recommendations in writing to John A. Fry, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, c/o the Funds at 2005 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Shareholders should include appropriate information on the background and qualifications of any person recommended to the Nominating Committee (e.g., a resume), as well as the candidate’s contact information and a written consent from the candidate to serve if nominated and elected. Shareholder recommendations for nominations to the Board will be accepted on an ongoing basis and such recommendations will be kept on file for consideration when there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors.

     The Nominating Committee generally identifies candidates for Board membership through personal and business contacts of Directors and shareholders. In addition, the Nominating Committee may use a search firm to identify candidates for the Board of Directors, if deemed necessary and appropriate to use such a firm. The Nominating Committee’s process for evaluating a candidate generally includes a review of the candidate’s background and experience, a check of the candidate’s references and other due diligence and, when appropriate, interviews with Nominating Committee members. In evaluating a candidate, the Nominating Committee will also consider whether the candidate, if elected, would be an independent director for purposes of the 1940 Act and the listing standards of the NYSE and NYSE AMEX.

     The Nominating Committee has not established any specific minimum requirements that candidates must meet in order to be recommended by the Nominating Committee for nomination for election to the Board. Rather, the Nominating Committee seeks candidates who, in its judgment, will serve the best interests of the Funds’ long-term shareholders and whose background will complement the experience, skills and diversity of the other Directors and add to the overall effectiveness of the Board.

     Each Fund has an Independent Directors Committee. This committee develops and recommends to the Board a set of corporate governance principles and oversees the evaluation of the Board, its committees and its activities. The committee is comprised of all of the Fund’s independent Directors. The Independent Directors Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 for DDF, DEX and DGF, and four meetings for the Municipal Funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

     Each Fund has an Investments Committee. The primary purposes of the Investments Committee are to: (i) assist the Board at its request in its oversight of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Fund’s investment adviser as well as any sub-advisers; (ii) review all proposed amendments to existing agreements and to recommend what action the full Board and the independent Directors take regarding the approval of all such proposed arrangements; and (iii) review from time to time reports supplied by the Fund’s investment adviser regarding investment performance and expenses and suggest changes to such reports. The Investments Committee consists of the following five independent Directors: Thomas L. Bennett, Chairman; Anthony D. Knerr, Lucinda S. Landreth, Janet L. Yeomans; and J. Richard Zecher. The Investments Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 for DDF, DEX and DGF, and four meetings for the Municipal Funds for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

     Board Compensation.Each independent Director receives compensation from each Fund of which he/she is a member of the Board of Directors. The interested Director is compensated by the investment adviser and does not receive compensation from the Funds. Each independent Director currently receives a total annual retainer fee of $100,000 for serving as a Director of all 30 investment companies within the Fund Complex, plus $5,000 per day for each day the Board meets (normally four regular meetings, all of which are two-day meetings). Ann R. Leven is the current Lead/Coordinating Director for the Funds and receives an additional annual retainer totaling $35,000 with respect to all 30 investment companies within the Fund Complex. Members of the Audit, Investments, and Nominating Committees receive additional compensation of $2,500 for each Committee meeting attended. In addition, the chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an annual retainer of $25,000, the chairperson of the Investments Committee receives an annual retainer of $20,000, and the chairperson of the Nominating Committee receives an annual retainer of $15,000.

     Officers. The Board of Directors and the senior management of each Fund appoint officers each year, and from time to time as necessary. The following individuals are executive officers of one or more of the Funds: Patrick P. Coyne, Richard Salus, and Daniel V. Geatens. Exhibit E includes biographical information and the past business experience of these officers, except for Mr. Coyne, whose information is set forth with the other Directors. The Exhibit also identifies which of these executive officers are also officers of Delaware Management Company (“DMC” or “Management”), the investment adviser of each Fund. These officers own shares of common stock and/or options to purchase shares of common stock of Lincoln National Corporation, the ultimate parent of DMC, and are considered to be “interested persons” of the Funds under the 1940 Act. The shares of each Fund that are owned by the executive officers as a group is less than one percent.

     Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “1934 Act”) requires that Forms 3, 4, and 5 be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the relevant securities exchange and the relevant Fund, by or on behalf of certain persons, including directors, certain officers, and certain affiliated persons of the investment adviser. The Funds believe that these requirements were met for each Fund’s last fiscal year.

     Required Vote. All shareholders of a Fund vote together to elect Directors. Provided that a quorum is present at the Meeting, either in person or by proxy, the following votes are required to elect each Fund’s Board of Directors.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS AND AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

     The firm of Ernst & Young LLP has been selected as the independent registered public accounting firm (“independent auditors”) for the Funds. In accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (“ISB No. 1”), Ernst & Young LLP has confirmed to each Fund’s Audit Committee regarding the independence of Ernst & Young LLP. The Audit Committee must approve all audit and non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young LLP relating to the operations or financial reporting of one or more of the Funds. The Audit Committee reviews any audit or non-audit services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

     Each Fund’s Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to provide a framework for the Audit Committee’s consideration of non-audit services by Ernst & Young LLP. These policies and procedures require that any non-audit service to be provided by Ernst & Young LLP to a Fund, DMC, or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with DMC that relate directly to the operations or financial reporting of a Fund are subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee or the Chairperson of the Audit Committee before such service is provided. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain services with respect to the Funds up to certain specified fee limits.

     As required by its charter, each Fund’s Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with Fund management and representatives from Ernst & Young LLP the audited financial statements for each Fund’s last fiscal year. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Funds’ accounting principles and such other matters required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 90 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from its independent auditors required by ISB No. 1, and discussed with a representative of Ernst & Young LLP the independent auditor’s independence. Each Fund’s Board of Directors considered fees received by Ernst & Young LLP from DMC and its affiliates during the last fiscal year in connection with its consideration of the auditors’ independence. Based on the foregoing discussions with management and the independent auditors, each Fund’s Audit Committee unanimously recommended to the Fund’s Board of Directors that the aforementioned audited financial statements be included in each Fund’s annual report to shareholders for the last fiscal year.

     As noted above, the members of each Fund’s Audit Committee are: Thomas L. Bennett, John A. Fry, Thomas L. Madison, and J. Richard Zecher. All members of each Fund’s Audit Committee meet the standard of independence set forth in the listing standards of the NYSE and NYSE AMEX, as applicable, and are not considered to be “interested persons” under the 1940 Act. Each Fund’s Board of Directors has adopted a formal charter for the Audit Committee setting forth its responsibilities. A copy of the Audit Committee’s charter is attached to the proxy statement.

     Audit fees. The aggregate fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP in connection with the annual audit of each Fund’s financial statements and for services normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 for DEX, DDF and DGF and ended March 31, 2009 for the Municipal Funds, and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 for DEX, DDF and DGF and ended March 31, 2008 for the Municipal Funds are set forth below:

DELAWARE INVESTMENTS FAMILY OF FUNDS
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

1.	Committee Composition.
	a.	The Audit Committee shall be composed of not less than three Directors/Trustees (hereinafter, “Directors”) selected by the Board, each of whom shall be independent as defined in Rule 10A-3(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the listing standards of any national securities exchange on which the Fund is listed.
	b.	Each member of the Audit Committee shall be financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by the Fund’s Board in its business judgment, or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Audit Committee. At least one member of the Audit Committee must be an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form N-CSR.
	c.	One member of the Audit Committee shall be designated by the Board as Chairperson. The Chairperson and members of the Audit Committee shall have two year terms, renewable for a maximum of three terms. The Chairperson and members of the Audit Committee shall receive such compensation for their service on the Audit Committee as the Board may determine from time to time.

2.	Role of the Audit Committee. The function of the Audit Committee is oversight in the sense that it is to watch closely, maintain surveillance, review carefully relevant matters and make appropriate suggestions; it is management’s responsibility to direct, manage and maintain appropriate systems for accounting and internal control and for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the financial statements; and it is the independent auditors’ responsibility to plan and carry out a proper audit. The independent auditors for the Fund shall report directly to, and are ultimately accountable to, the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall select, evaluate, oversee the work of and, when appropriate, replace the independent auditors.
	Although the Audit Committee is expected to take a detached and questioning approach to the matters that come before it, the review of a Fund’s financial statements by the Audit Committee is not an audit, nor does the Audit Committee’s review substitute for the responsibilities of the Fund’s management for preparing, or of the independent auditors for auditing, the financial statements. Members of the Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the Fund and, in serving on this Audit Committee, are not, and do not hold themselves out to be, acting as accountants or auditors. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures.
	In discharging his or her duties, each member of the Audit Committee may rely on the accuracy of information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if prepared or presented by (a) one or more officers of the Fund whom the Director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented; (b) legal counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters the Director reasonably believes are within the person’s professional expertise; or (c) a Board committee of which the Director is not a member.
3.	Purposes. The purposes of the Audit Committee are to assist the Board in its oversight of (a) the quality and integrity of the Fund’s financial statements and the independent audit thereof; (b) the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence; (c) the performance of the Fund’s independent auditors; and (d) the Fund’s compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audits. The Audit Committee shall prepare an audit committee report as required by the SEC to be included in the Fund’s proxy statements. The Audit Committee shall discharge its fiduciary responsibility with respect to evidence of any material violation of federal or state law or breach of fiduciary duty impacting the Fund that is brought to the attention of the Audit Committee pursuant to applicable regulations. The Audit Committee shall monitor the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, its internal controls over financial reporting and, as appropriate, inquire into the internal controls over financial reporting of certain service providers. The Audit Committee shall monitor the Fund’s safeguards with respect to both inflow and outflow of funds and the integrity of computer systems relating to financial reporting. In addition, the Audit Committee shall act as a liaison between the Fund’s independent auditors and the full Board of Directors.

C-1

4.	Duties and Powers. To carry out its purposes, the Audit Committee shall have the following duties and powers:

	c.	In connection with any pre-approval to perform for the Fund (or any preapproval to perform for a Control Affiliate required pursuant to subparagraph 4(b)) any permissible tax service by the independent auditors, to (A) receive in writing a description of (1) the scope of the service, the fee structure for the engagement, and any side letter or other amendment to the engagement letter, or any other agreement (whether oral, written or otherwise) between the independent auditors and the Fund and/or Control Affiliate relating to the service, (2) any compensation arrangement or other agreement, between the independent auditor (or affiliate of the auditor) and any person (other than the Fund or Control Affiliate) with respect to the promoting, marketing, or recommending of a transaction covered by the service, and (B) discuss with the independent auditors the potential effects of the services on the independence of the independent auditors.
	d.	To establish pre-approval policies and procedures for the engagement of independent auditors to provide audit and permissible non-audit services; and to delegate to one or more members the authority to grant pre-approvals;
