Nordic Consulting Group has won the assignment to do an evaluation for Olof Palme Center to assess the current level of understanding of the principle of alliance building within OPC, member and partner organisations and assess its influence within the framework of development work. The evaluation is also intended to bring an evidence-based analysis of whether alliances are considered a central vehicle for achieving the goals by the involved actors or not. Analysis-based understanding, lessons learned and recommendations will be provided on how the Palme Center best can support the development of democratic, viable, interest and issue-based alliances among political parties, trade unions and CSOs within or possibly across social movements and segments.
The work will be carried out by NCG Associate partner Anna Lidström and associate consultant Jim Newkirk between December 2018 and February 2019.
