2nd Call for Proposals Evaluation of Development Interventions

NWO-WOTRO Science for Global development has launched two second calls for proposals for the evaluation of development interventions financed by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (the so-called Joint MFS II Evaluations). The overall purpose of these evaluations is to account for results of MFS II funded or -cofunded development interventions implemented by Dutch Co-Financing Agencies (CFAs) and/or their (Southern) partners and to contribute to the improvement of future development interventions. The current calls relate to the evaluation of international lobbying and advocacy and to the evaluations at country level, specifically Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Uganda.

In September 2011, NWO-WOTRO launched a first call for proposals. Applicants were requested to develop proposals for evaluating development interventions implemented by Dutch CFAs and/or their Southern partners in eight pre-selected countries: Bangladesh, DR Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Liberia, Pakistan and Uganda. In the assessment procedure that followed, no proposals were awarded for three of the country studies, namely Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Uganda. The call also did not yield satisfactory results for the evaluation of international lobbying & advocacy. For that reason, a second call is launched for these evaluation studies.

The closing date for submitting proposals for both calls is 21 February 2012, 11:59 hrs.
