Millard “Responsibility for the contents and presentation of findings and recommendations rest with the evaluation team. The views and opinions expressed in the report do not necessarily correspond with those of Norad”. Preface The Strategy for Norway’s culture and sports co-operation with countries in the South covers the period 2006-2015, and it is stated in the Strategy that it “will be evaluated and, if necessary, modified in 2010”. The evaluation started in December 2010. It is the second evaluation commis- sioned by the Evaluation Department that specifically covers Norwegian support in the cultural sector. The first one was the Evaluation of Norwegian Support to the Protection of Cultural Heritage, that was carried out in 2008 and 2009. Internationally, there seems to be a lack of independent comprehensive evaluations in culture and sports, in particular the latter. The present evaluation thus deals with an area that has not as yet been covered comprehensively with great frequency, even if there are a larger number of program and project evaluations – more in cul- ture than in sports. -
Organisational Review of Stromme Foundation
Norad Report 14/2008 Review Organisational Review of Strømme Foundation Final report Norad Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation P.O. Box 8034 Dep, NO-0030 OSLO Ruseløkkveien 26, Oslo, Norway Phone: +47 22 24 20 30 Fax: +47 22 24 20 31 ISBN 978-82-7548-292-9 ISSN 1502-2528 Organisational Review of Strømme Foundation Final report 12 March 2008 Titus Tenga, LINS Roy Mersland, Nordic Consulting Group Responsibility for the contents and presentation of findings and recommendations rests with the study team. The views and opinions expressed in the report do not necessarily correspond with those of Norad. Executive summary This report is a regular Norad organisational review of the development partner Strømme Foundation (SF). SF is a Norwegian foundation based on Christian values, with a mission to eradicate poverty. SF has a framework agreement with Norad, which was signed in 2003. The organisation will be assessed for a renewed framework agreement after the fiscal year 2008. The total annual income in 2007 was around 126 million NOK, out of which around 36 million was funded by Norad. The reason for carrying out a review now is to establish a platform for further dialogue before assessing a renewed framework agreement from 2009 onward. Another objective is to present constructive recommendations for SF’s developmental efforts. Recently a new general secretary is heading SF, replacing the former who served the organisation for more than 14 years. This shift naturally puts the organisation in a transition position. This review process thus comes timely. Microfinance and education are the main areas in SF. -

The Atlas Alliance has projects and activities contributing to reaching several of the SDGs, such as the goals on education, health and employment . The SDGs call for shared action and responsibility for inclusive development where no one is left behind . This is a vision we share with our sisters and brothers in developing countries as we fight together for inclusive societies where the needs of persons with disabilities are met and our voices heard . The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is now ratified in 173 countries . Despite the advancement of the CRPD and human rights frameworks, there is still a lack of commitment to implementation in many of our partner countries .
