Evaluation of Norwegian Development Cooperation to Promote Human Rights: evaluation
Norwegian promotion of international human rights
Is there a clear policy behind the Norwegian support to human rights? Is there a specific Norwegian profile in the support to human rights and what results have been achieved?
The purpose of this evaluation, as set out in the ToR, is to “acquire knowledge and draw lessons about the nature and effect of support to human rights, with a view to informing future strategies, policies and interventions in this area of development cooperation.”
The two principal objectives are to provide an overview of allocations for human rights in Norway’s development cooperation, and to document and assess the changes brought about by this support in selected areas over the period 2000-2009.
There are three separate sets of tasks, specified with concrete questions. The first is the mapping and analysis of the human rights portfolio over the past decade. The second is an evaluation of the support to freedom of expression with particular emphasis on free and independent media. The third is an evaluation of the country programmes of the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights (NCHR) in Indonesia and South Africa.
