The procurement covers one contract whereby the successful tenderer will be assigned responsibility to evaluate organizational aspects of Norwegian aid administration.
The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the roles, responsibilities and the division of labour between home (MFA and Norad) and abroad (Norwegian embassies) in management and implementation of development cooperation. This assessment will provide lessons and inputs to MFA's ongoing efforts to improve Norwegian development cooperation. The role of the embassies will be assessed beyond merely technical aspects of bilateral grant management, and will include other responsibilities and tasks within the area of development cooperation.
The evaluation will also explore how the roles, responsibilities and division of labour have changed over time since 2004.
