Evaluering
Impact Evaluation: Capacity Building, Organizational Development and Disaster Preparedness Project in Vietnam
Vietnam Red Cross (VNRC) and Norwegian Red Cross (NRC) have been in partnership since 1995. Until 2001 NRC provided support multilaterally through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), while project-based bilateral support commenced in 2002. The partnership has involved three successive Capacity Building/Organizational Development (CB/OD) projects, including the ongoing V7 project (2009-2010/2012), which targets VNRC chapters and branches in seven provinces in the Northern and central part of Vietnam. The projects have aimed at increasing VNRC chapters/branches capacity through: 1) Trainings, workshops & study tours; 2) Experience exchanges/knowledge sharing within the country and regionally; 3) Dissemination of information, and 4) Material support. The objective of this evaluation was to verify the overall efficiency and sustainability of the long-term partnership between the VNRC and NRC and the associated OD/CB projects, which would also form the basis to determine the next stage of the partnership.
