Evaluation of the NUFU Programme - Norwegian Council of Universities’ Programme for Development Research and Education

Executive summary

The NUFU programme aims to build up research and research competence in developing countries, through cooperation between university and research institutions in Norway and developing countries. The main guiding principles in the NUFU approach are equality in the cooperation, the partnership model, mutual benefit and the prevalence of Southern needs in identifying areas for cooperation. The programme operates through individual projects, and cooperation is usually initiated through a bottom-up process.
