Norad's strategy towards 2010

The strategy stresses the importance of quality assurance and results achievement in development cooperation. This will strengthen our partners in developing countries and ourselves as actors, and will provide better information to the Norwegian people as committed donors. We can achieve this by changing our approaches and perspectives.

Norad
