Assignment text
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.
