Guidelines for quality assurance
Norad has developed practical guides for quality assurance in grant management.
The Guides and Guidelines describe, procedures and standard working methods for quality assurance. They are supporting tools for Norwegian grant management in all phases of the program cycle. The publications are based on international policies and strategies, and can be used as important tools for results management.
The main purpose of the Guides and Guidelines are to make the Norwegian support more efficient in contributing to our Partners' development results.
The target users for the Guides and Guidelines are primarily Embassy staff, but also staff at Norad and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our partners, both donors and grant recipients, may find the Guides and Guidelines useful.
