The procurement covers one contract whereby the successful tenderer will be assigned responsibility to evaluate human rights and business in Norwegian development cooperation.

The assignment will be carried out from October 2017 through March 2018, within an estimated timeframe of up to 175 work days. The tenderer is expected to budget and plan for data collection in Oslo, Tanzania and Mozambique.

The purpose of the evaluation is to document to what degree UNGP is implemented in Norwegian development cooperation. Implementation of the UNGPs involves both process and outcomes, whether there are adequate processes in place at state agencies and business actors, as well as to what extent human rights are promoted, protected and respected on the ground. Another purpose is to produce and disseminate knowledge and recommendations on effective approaches to how Norwegian development aid involving business can promote, protect and respect human rights.
