Is Fredskorpset an effective instrument for strengthening civil society in developing countries?

Abstract

Fredskorpset, or FK Norway, is one of the instruments for Norwegian development aid support to civil society in developing countries. It promotes mutual learning and sharing of experiences between organisations in different countries and between diverse cultures, but does more for individual participants, than for civil society in developing countries, concludes an evaluation of FK Norway. The evaluation report also suggests improved coordination between FK Norway’s personnel exchange and other Norwegian instruments for civil society support.
