Mid-term Review of Strategic Partnership to support local CSOs working on Human Rights, Democracy and Good Governance, Royal Norwegian Embassy and NCA
As part of its strategy to implement the “Civil Society for Accountable Governance” program, NCA entered into a Strategic Partnership (SP) with the Royal Norwegian Embassy (RNE) with the objectives of supporting local civic organizations as of October 2006. Under this SP NCA-Ethiopia (NCA-E) assumes the responsibilities of, among others, managing RNE’s fund to seven prominent local CSOs working in the areas of human rights, democracy, good governance and peace building. A mid-term review was conducted to assess the “Human Rights, Democracy and Good Governance” program jointly run by the Royal Norwegian Embassy (RNE) and NCA-E in accordance with their Strategic Partnership (SP) agreement in 2006. The review had two dimensions: The Programme review assesses the accomplishment of selected partners of NCA towards attaining the general goal of the programme while the Organizational review assesses the contribution or added value of NCA since the commencement of the SP. The purpose of this particular review is to review the performance of NCA’s partners in achieving their stated objectives (in relation to their program on human rights, good governance and democracy) with specific reference to the relevance and effectiveness of the programs, and the extent of the progress they have made towards achieving their objectives. In addition to the partners, the review also covers NCA-E’s role as a Strategic Partner to RNE and its responsibilities towards the implementing partners.
