The Multilateral Organisations Performance Assessment Network (MOPAN)

Norad is actively involved in the Multilateral Organisations Performance Assessment Network (MOPAN), which is a group of fifteen bilateral donors with a common interest in monitoring multilateral effectiveness. MOPAN conducts an annual perception survey of 3 multilateral organisations in 8-10 countries. In each country, MOPAN members complete questionnaires which feed into a country report and an overall synthesis report for the agencies concerned. In 2008 the MOPAN survey looked at the UNFPA, WB and the EC.
The focus of the Survey is on multilateral partnership behaviour towards national stakeholders (governments, NGOs, private sector) in developing countries as well as towards other international development agencies. The purpose of the survey is to contribute to:

• better information on and understanding of the performance of multilaterals
• a more informed dialogue with agencies at both headquarters and country level
• the involvement of MOPAN country offices in the surveying of multilateral cooperation
• the improvement of overall multilateral performance at country level
