Launching Seminar: NORHED Results Report 2015

The seminar will present the main findings in the NORHED Results Report 2015, focusing on key achievement to date and programme-level learning. While last year’s report focused mainly on the programme documents and project reports, this year’s report builds on consultations with project partners and field visits to Ethiopia and Uganda.

The seminar will hence go more in depth into NORHED implementation in Ethiopia and Uganda, sharing project specific perspectives and experience in these two countries.

The seminar will also shed light to general challenges and obstacles that the projects are facing and include recommendations for future programme decisions and directions.

Comments on the report will be given by project partners and Norad, followed by an open discussion with the audience.

The report is performed by Fafo, commissioned by Norad.
