Call for proposals for an evaluation of Norad’s approach to knowledge-based portfolio management.

Description

In 2021, Norad published a new strategy towards 2030 and was reorganized to better fit its grant-management role. The new strategy stresses that facts should inform policy and the importance of using knowledge and other insights to ensure effective and efficient management of funds. Norad has also undertaken considerable efforts to improve results-based management at the portfolio level and has issued guidelines and principles for improved portfolio management. The Department for evaluation calls for tender proposals for an evaluation of Norad’s approach to knowledge-based portfolio management. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide evaluative evidence about the extent to which the approach to knowledge- based portfolio management, including its strengthened efforts is likely to improve the quality of Norad’s portfolio management and improve development results. The assignment will be carried out from July 2023 to June 2024. Lot 1: In 2021, Norad published a new strategy towards 2030 and was reorganized to better fit its grant-management role.
