grant Background
About the Funding Agency
The Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, or Norad, is a government agency in Norway. It operates under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The agency helps manage Norway's foreign aid and works to reduce global poverty.
Norad focuses on important global issues like sustainable development, health, education, and climate change. It gives funding and support to local and international partner organizations. These groups carry out projects that improve living conditions in developing countries.
The agency also checks how well these aid programs work. It tests the results to see if the money helps people as planned. Norad shares these reports openly so the public can see the impact of Norway's aid.
