The purpose of this assignment is to conduct an organisational assessment of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) based on the qualification criteria established by SIDA. The assessment is intended to be used by Sida Unit for Humanitarian Assistance as support in their upcoming decision concerning NRC’s qualification as a strategic partner organisation. NRC has been assessed against the criteria corresponding to the appropriation item “Support via Humanitarian Assistance”. With the qualification criteria as the basis, an organisation applying to become a framework and/or strategic partner organisation to Sida will be assessed as to: - the degree to which the organisation is representative, independent and has well-anchored operations; - the existence, effectiveness and compliance to the organisation’s internal management and control systems; - the organisation’s capacity and skills to achieve and report relevant results towards the strategy(ies)3; and - the organisation’s capacity and skills to undertake policy and methodological work.
