Evaluation Policy 2006–2010

The Evaluation Department in the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) is responsible for the planning and implementation of evaluation of activities financed over the Norwegian development co-operation budget and for communicating the results to the decision-makers and public in general. The Evaluation Department also acts as the advisor to Norad and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in technical evaluation matters, and is Norway's representative in international evaluation work. This evaluation work is based on a mandate from the MFA. Activities are based on the political priorities set out by the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) and the Government of Norway, and derive from Norad's strategy.
