Indevelop is conducting the Evaluation of Olof Palme International Center (OPC) for Sida/CIVSAM. The aim of the evaluation is to contribute to OPC's capacity development and Sida's assessment of OPC, in particular in relation to OPC's upcoming framework application to Sida for 2012-2014.

The evaluation would focus on the quality and cost connected with OPC's role to channel funds through intermediary member organisations.

OPC has been a framework organisation since the organisation was established in 1992. OPC has 26 member organisations (MOs), a head office in Stockholm and 7 national and regional offices in programme countries. OPC's main focus areas are international development projects, party-oriented democracy support, and knowledge and debate about democracy, human rights and peace.

The evaluation will assess the share of OPC's framework agreement portfolio that is sub-granted through its member organizations. It will consider the quality and the cost of the MO-programmes, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of OPC's administration and the overall quality of the MO-programmes.
