It will also look at the comparative advantage of Norwegian Peace Corps compared to other means for strengthening of the civil society being funded by the development policy budget.
The evaluation will be a combination of literature studies, desk reviews of previous reviews, assessments and surveys commissioned by Norwegian Peace Corps, interviews and field work.
The findings from the evaluation is intended to be used by FK Norway and the MFA in shaping and managing the organization to improve its role and function, and as a basis for considering revision of theory of change, the mandate and policy guidelines. All parts of the evaluation shall adhere to the OCED Development Assistance Committee's quality standards for development evaluation and relevant guidelines from the Evaluation Department.
