Result report 2012: Aid for natural resource management
The thematic area for this year’s results report is aid for natural resource management. Natural resources are important for the developing countries’ ability to combat poverty and create economic development, but many of these countries are struggling to realise the development potential their resources represent. In addition, it is becoming increasingly clear that the challenge of global warming is inextricably related to the extraction and use of natural resources. Norad’s results report is one of several contributions to greater transparency around results of Norwegian aid. The report is neither a research report nor a comprehensive evaluation of all Norwegian aid for natural resource management. It presents selected examples of results within this year’s thematic area. The examples are based upon evaluations, research, and project reports as well as assessments by the Norwegian Foreign Service and Norad itself.
