The Evaluation:
The evaluation of the results of development cooperation through Norwegian NGOs in East Africa is the third evaluation report
commissioned by Norad’s evaluation department in response to the Rattsø Commission. In 2006 the Rattsø Commission, established
by the Norwegian Government with the mandate to assess the role of the Norwegian civil society in development cooperation,
recommended that the Government should take more responsibility for evaluation of the work of Norwegian Civil Society.
Aim:
The evaluation aims at assessing the achievements of Norwegian organisations and their partners in 15 randomly selected long-term
development projects operating in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from 2005-2009. The evaluation questions focused on how and to
what extent intended results have been achieved and to what extent the organisations apply results based management approaches.
This also included an assessment of how results are documented, how the organisations and project activities contribute to
strengthening local civil society and whether the projects are relevant to the target groups.
The evaluation was conducted by Ternstrom Consulting AB supported by experts in the countries studied.
Welcome!
