Evaluering
Assessment of the Dominican-Haitian dialogue of the Evangelical Protetant Churches
In 1998 the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) contacted NCA, asking the organization to join an initiative to facilitate an internal political dialogue in Haiti. Parting from the idea that improving the relationship between the two countries also would contribute to stabilize the situation in Haiti, MFA also asked NCA to also take on a role as facilitator of a dialogue between Haiti and Dominican Republic.A process was started and included a range of different groups in both societies. However, the first attempts at dialogue eventually stranded because of a lack of commitment from the key actors involved locally. NCA, in close dialogue and collaboration with MFA, therefore decided to focus on local actors which had shown a commitment to the process, in particular the protestant churches in both countries. The overall objective of the evaluation is to document results from the period 2005 – 2009/10. The evaluation is to analyze the impact of the Haitian Dominican Church Dialogue in light of organisational effectiveness and achievement of goals. Based on the results in the evaluation, the Haitian Dominican Church Dialogue has made decisions on how to improve their work both in programmatic and organisational terms.
