Evaluation will look into the Norwegian MFA's initiatives to ensure policy coherence for development. The main purpose of the evaluation is to contribute to increased knowledge about: 1) The initiatives done by the MFA and other Norwegian development actors to ensure policy coherence for development, and 2) The dilemmas in relation to the intersection between objectives of the development policy and other policy areas, and how these have been addressed by Norwegian actors. Another purpose is to learn from experiences at country level in Myanmar.
The evaluation results may be used to inform MFA's future work to ensure policy coherence for development. The users of the evaluation are the MFA and other ministries with policies relevant for developing countries, the Norwegian embassy in Myanmar, Norad, the Parliament, NGOs and other stakeholders like private companies operating in developing countries. The evaluation might also contribute to the debate on policy coherence for development.
The assignment will be carried out from June 2017 through February 2018, within an estimated timeframe of up to 150 work days.
