The meetings will take place in Oslo 9 September and in Bergen 18 September – you can share your ideas.

The Independent Evaluation Department of Norwegian Development Cooperation will host consultations to gather input from academia, researchers, and experts on Norwegian development cooperation. The consultations will be held in Oslo on 9 September 2025 and in Bergen on 18 September 2025, and form part of the process to develop the upcoming Multi-Year Evaluation Programme. The programme seeks to deliver high-quality, relevant, and credible evaluations that strengthen learning, accountability, and evidence-based policy in a rapidly changing global context. 

The consultations will examine how global shifts are reshaping development cooperation, identify areas where deeper insight and analysis can have the greatest impact, and explore how knowledge, research, and expertise can more effectively inform decision-making.
