MFS II Evaluations
MFS II is the 2011-2015 grant framework for Co-Financing Agencies (CFAs), which is directed at achieving a sustainable reduction in poverty and is the successor to MFS I, which covered 2007-2010. The MFS II framework stipulates that each consortium is required to carry out independent external evaluations to be able to make valid, evaluative statements about the effective use of the available funding. Of the consortia receiving MFS II funding, 19 decided to have their MFS II-funded or co-funded activities jointly evaluated. The overall purpose of these joint MFS II evaluations is to account for results of MFS II-funded or co-funded development interventions implemented by Dutch CFAs and/or their Southern partners and to contribute to the improvement of future development interventions.
Second call for proposals
In January, a second call for proposals was launched for the country studies on Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Uganda and for the study on international lobbying & advocacy, as for these no proposals were awarded following the first call. The deadline for this second call is 21 February. Please consult the Subsidy Guide for more information.
