Executive Summary
This organisational review is founded on accessible documents and interviews in the Development Fund and the Norwegian aid authorities, in addition to a relatively short field trip to Nepal. Due to the scarcity of evaluative material, the review team also made extensive use of existing evaluation reports on global and regional agro-biodiversity programmes, especially in Africa.
The Development Fund (DF) is a Norwegian solidarity non-governmental organisation, with the specialty of promoting rural development, food security, agricultural biodiversity as well as agricultural adaptation to climate change. It is a driving force for cooperation among environmental and solidarity organisations in Norway, is engaged in international coordination and is funding a substantial number of developmental and environmental programmes.
