Evaluation of the Strategy for Norway’s Culture and Sports Cooperation with Countries in the South
Resumo
The concepts of development and human rights include culture and sports, that is, people’s rights to a cultural identity, to express that identity, as well as a right to play. It has not always been obvious that these sectors are essential to quality of life and that efforts to alleviate poverty must address restrictions and lacking access and choice in these fields. The Strategy of Norway for Culture and Sports Cooperation with Countries in the South was formulated against that background. Cooperation in these sectors goes back to the 1980s.
There has been a steady increase in annual allocations, but since 2007 the allocations have remained stable at around 120 million NOK annually. Though the figures vary between years, on the average 65% of the funding was allocated to projects on culture and 35% to projects in sports. For the period of this evaluation, 2006 to 2009, 850 million NOK were allocated to culture and sports.
It is a very diverse portfolio of projects covering activities in all cultural fields and sports. 815 projects were identified in the database. Funding went to 48 countries, and involved many channels of assistance; bilateral and multilateral organisations, through Norwegian, international and local organisations, as well as Norwegian institutions with framework agreements, and UNESCO. The Embassies handled half of the projects, MFA in Oslo handled one third of the contracts, Norad and Fredskorpset the remaining projects.
