Evaluering
Alternative Co-operation Network (Rede de Cooperação Alternativa - RCA) Portuguese
The Alternative Cooperation Network (Rede de Cooperação Alternativa - RCA) was founded in 1996, when Brazilian partner organizations of the Norwegian Rainforest Foundation (RFN) formed the Latin American Network, which was developed under the auspices of the Development Fund. In 1997 the creation of the Brazilian section was formalized, permitting RFN resources to be obtained for local activities. Since 2000, RCA has been particularly dynamic, due both to the continual expansion of the number of member organizations and the greater intensity and scope of their activities. RCA currently has nine member organizations, of which four are indigenous (Atix, Foirn, Opiac and Wyty Cate) and five non-indigenous (CCPY, CPI-AC, CTI, Iepé and ISA). This evaluation has two central objectives, jointly defined by the RFN and RCA coordination team: (i) analyze the effects and impacts of RCA on its beneficiaries; (ii) offer help in designing its trajectory for the forthcoming years. In relation to this a list of questions was drawn up covering different aspects of the Network (design, political coordination, financial and administrative management and actions) which are dealt with, in greater and lesser detail, in this Report.
