Norwegian Evaluations

Evaluation of the Training for Peace (TfP) Programme (tracer study), Fourth Phase 2011-2015

The evaluation is intended to provide insight into the effects of the TfP programme’s contribution to the training and deployment of peace operations personnel and to provide information on the programme’s progress towards its objective to build sustainable African capacity in peacekeeping and peacebuilding operations, including the role of research and policy development in this work. The evaluation will cover the time period 2011-2015. It will take into account the TfP programme’s evolving context with multiple actors and interests at the national, regional and global level. The evaluation will assess both process aspects and the effects of the TfP programme. In particular, tracer studies will be carried out to investigate the quality, relevance and effect of TfP’s training activities on the performance of trainees in peace operations.
