Evaluation of the Norad Fellowship Programme

Since the Norad Fellowship Programme (NFP) was established 40 years ago it has provided fellowships in Norway to several thousand students from developing countries. At the same time higher education in Norway has become much more internationalised. An evaluation team comprised of consultants from NCG AS, DECO AS and Nuffic was selected through an international competition to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the entire programme, emphasising the period after 1998. The evaluation is based on desk studies, assessments of questionnaires from key stakeholders, interviews, meetings and field visits to Bangladesh, Tanzania, Uganda and South Africa.
