Open call: Evaluation of democracy projects in Bosnia and Hercegovina and Albania
The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the jointly supported activities by Olof Palme International Center and Kalevi Sorsa Foundation in Albania as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The evaluation will thus focus particularly on assessing the outcomes and impact of the gender academy in Bosnia Herzegovina implemented by FLI and the respective political academies implemented by FLI and Qemal Stafa Foundation in Albania.
The evaluation should be done using OECD DAC evaluation criteria. It should thus contribute to Olof Palme International Center’s and Kalevi Sorsa Foundation’s evidence and knowledge based assessment of the projects in order to provide insights about the impact and learnings of the projects to provide recommendations for our future planning. In addition, the findings of the evaluation will long-term be valuable to both internal stakeholders, as our partners in the respective countries, as well as the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and SIDA.
The specific objectives of the evaluation are following;
• To assess the joint activities in terms of relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability
• To assess the joint cooperation between OPIC and KSF
• To assess the added value for our partner organisations of this kind of donor harmonization and broader cooperation
• Document key challenges and lessons learnt and provide practical recommendations
that can be utilized for future planning.
The Evaluation should be conducted between December and January.
Tenders shall be submitted via email no later than 14th of December. The bid must include suggested outline, methodology proposal and time plan, curriculum vitae for members of the evaluation team and their respective roles in the assignment, details of previous experience in the field, references (names and contact information) procedures for quality assurance and budget.
The budget should include all costs related to the evaluation such as interpretation and possible field visits, including VAT.
We reserve the right not to accept any of the bids received.

Just in – toolkit for internal democracy
How about arranging a study circle on the topic?
Or answering a list of questions to get a quick visual overview of strengths and areas where action is needed?
Many of the exercises are learning by doing – just by using these tools you will be exercising internal democracy.
Workshop in climate and environmental integration, March 16th
Date: March 16th
Time: 9.30-11 am CET
After active participation in the workshop you will be able to…
Analyse climate and environmental risks in your region and give examples of how these may affect your target groups.
Examine how your current goals can contribute to climate and environmental action
Identify how you can increase those positive effects.
What’s the point of all this?
The benefit of practicing this is that we can become better at spotting climate and environmental risks that may undermine our progress.
Analysing our operations from a “green” perspective also means that we can contribute to environmental and climate action that strengthens our goals and the rightsholders we wish to support.
If we do not see the links between the planetary crisis and our goals, and act on them… our countries will be left dangerously unprepared and policies to counter the crisis will neither be adequate or just.
The book ”What is Social Democracy?” gives an introduction to social democratic ideology, history and policy. It’s authored by the former Swedish Prime Minister Ingvar Carlsson and Anne-Marie Lindgren.
We have all gone through a process where online activities was something we mainly did while waiting for the pandemic to pass, to understanding that this is a permanent change in terms of how we meet, learn, interact and collaborate. Online meetings will not replace physical meetings after the pandemic, but they are here to stay—and to complement and expand our activities.
Shrinking democratic space during the pandemic and lockdowns calls for more capacity development online, and for actors who work in favour of democracy to become more active together.
This is a hands-on guide on what to think about before, during and after an online training or activity.
It contains information about the process, manuals for tools, practical tips, templates and examples. There is also a theoretical part about online learning that looks at how we can make participants feel safe, be active and learn effectively in this context.
This guide was developed for our partner and member organisations and staff. We hope that it will contribute to the strategic partnership and our common learning.
