Assignment text
Norway has been engaged in the Sahel since the 1970s with both humanitarian and development assistance. Since 2018, Norway has had a dedicated Sahel strategy and is currently implementing its second one (2021-2025). The Department for Evaluation calls for tender proposals for an evaluation of the Norwegian engagement in the Sahel. The contract will have two distinctive deliverables, each of them addressing specific sets of evaluation questions.
The purpose of the evaluation is to provide input on how Norway can adapt its engagement in Sahel. Intended users of the evaluation include decision makers, and those involved in grant management and partner dialogue of the support to the Sahel. This includes sections in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Norad, and the Norwegian Embassy in Bamako.
The assignment will consist of a maximum of 45 person weeks (1800 hours) and will be carried out in the period from October 2022-to August 2023.
