Description: In accordance with the Strategy for Danish Support to Civil Society in Developing Countries (2008) thematic reviews of the framework organisations will be undertaken to enhance the professional dialogue between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and these organisations. The last thematic review of Save the Children Denmark (SCD) with an annual frame allocation of 50 million DKK was undertaken in 2007. As reflected in the Civil Society Strategy there are new challenges for civil society actors in terms of the aid effectiveness agenda including greater emphasis on results-orientation and documentation, tendencies to restricted space for operation in a number of countries, and interventions in fragile states and situations to mention a few. Danish civil society organsiations incresingly operate in new ways with international and within global networks and alliances to achieve better programme cooperation, division of labour and harmonisation of interventions. It is in this context that the theme of Partnerships has been chosen for the thematic review of SCD which will also incorporate the humanitarian portfolio of the organisation as described below.
SCD implements humanitarian activities (as part of Save the Children International) in relation to the Strategy for Danish Humanitarian Action (2010-2015). With the humanitarian strategy Danida has initiated a process of strengthening Danish humanitarian support by revisiting, consolidating and focussing priorities, modalities and partnerships. In this context Danida has introduced the objective of establishing strategic partnerships with selected partners. The overall aim is to give implementing partners higher funding predictability and operational flexibility in exchange for better planning and clear performance targets against the priorities of the Strategy for Danish Humanitarian Action, as well as allowing for a stronger focus on quality and delivery from partners. In accordance with the strategy, partners are selected primarily based on their adherence to humanitarian standards and codes of conduct, their ability to reach and engage vulnerable beneficiaries in all phases of their activities, past performance, cost effectiveness as well as their strategic position in the global humanitarian system, in a specific thematic field or in a particular geographic area. Agreements are subject to an in-depth assessment of their capacity in order to ascertain their eligibility as partners. SCD is currently negotiating a humanitarian partnership agreement with MFA. OBJECTIVES
T IMEFRAME The overall time schedule for the assignment is: Preparation and HQ study: Start Mid October 2011 Field study: End October – Mid November 2011 Final Draft Report: End November 2011 (Week 47)
