Consultant for joint review of GRID-Arendal’s cooperation with Norad

Kort beskrivelse

GRID-Arendal is a Norwegian foundation, established on initiative of the then Norwegian Ministry of Environment in 1989 to support the United Nations Environment Programme. GRID-Arendal’s strength is on the translation of complex science to policy action and building global capacity for good environmental management bridging science and action. In 2020 Norad’s management responsibilities for Norwegian Development Aid increased from about 4 billion NOK to almost 20 billion NOK while its staffing remained at the same level. In 2021 Norad launched a new strategy and new organisation to accommodate the increased responsibility. To increase its efficiency, Norad is currently reviewing its cooperation modalities including with its civil society partners as well as restructuring its knowledge programs.
