Second Call Joint MFS II evaluations of development interventions at country level: DR Congo

16 November 2011

NWO-WOTRO Science for Global development has launched a second call for proposals for the evaluation study on the DR Congo, in the context of the Joint MFS II evaluations of development interventions. The deadline for this second call is 6 December 2011, 12:00am CET.

On 19 September 2011, NWO-WOTRO launched three calls for proposals for the joint MFS II evaluations. In view of the unsatisfactory response regarding the evaluation study on one of the eight country studies, the DR Congo, once again NWO-WOTRO invites research teams composed of representatives from academic institutions, public interest organisations and consultancy firms to submit proposals specifically for this evaluation study on the DR Congo. For this study, the maximum budget available is € 862,093.

MFS II is the 2011-2015 grant framework for Dutch co-financing agencies (CFA’s) directed at achieving poverty reduction and sustainable development. A total of 20 consortia of Dutch CFAs have been awarded €1.9 billion in MFS II grants by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFa). MFS II-funded organisations support a wide range of development activities of a large number of Southern partner organisations in over 70 countries. The MFS II framework requires that each consortium carries out independent external evaluations. The overall purpose of the joint MFS II evaluations is to account for results of MFS II-funded or -cofunded development interventions implemented by Dutch CFAs and/or their Southern partners and to contribute to the improvement of future development interventions. Applications will be assessed on the quality of the proposal and the quality of the research team.
