Worldbankification

Norway overestimates its own ability to influence the World Bank. The trend in the last couple of years has instead been that Norwegian development policy has been influenced by the World Bank. This is one of the findings in the report published by the Development Fund and Ignis.

Promising Practises

”Promising practices” are examples of the many development projects funded by the Development Fund of Norway. A “promising practice” is not a blueprint for other projects. However, the Development Fund believes this particular experience provides insights that are relevant elsewhere, as long as care is taken to adapt to local circumstances.
