Tender Results of Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Of Denmark, Department For Evaluation, Learning And Quality Elk

The focus of the evaluation will be on the use of trust funds from a Nordic donor perspective with focus on the World Bank, the UNMPTF and the African Development Bank. The evaluation will contain a comparative perspective in which the engagement and management of the individual Nordic donors’ support to the trust funds will be assessed. The evaluation will also assess to which extent the Nordic donors coordinate their financial support and overall engagement in multilateral trust funds, and at which coordination strategies are applied. In addition, it will be explored whether the approach to coordination differs between different multilateral organizations and different types of trust funds. The evaluation will also explore if the trust funds are relevant to Nordic development priorities, to which extent there is documentation about results and how it is reported and if the administration of the funds is cost efficient.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, department for Evaluation, Learning and Quality (ELK) has entered into a contract regarding evaluation of the Denmark-Tanzania development cooperation commissioned in the context of the planned phase-out of Danish bilateral development cooperation managed by the Royal Danish Embassy (RDE) in Dar es Salaam and closure of RDE in July 2024. Tanzania is Denmark’s longest standing development partner. The end of such a historic bilateral cooperation calls for an evaluation that takes stock of Denmark’s contribution to Tanzania’s development journey. While accountability is a primary intention, the evaluation represents a unique opportunity to harvest learning from a long-standing partnership and experiences built over decades. The evaluation also represents a chance to learn from its own experience and contribute with methodological reflections for the conduct of future evaluations with a long-term perspective.
