Organizational review of Pronaturaleza and of Instituto del Bien Común (IBC)

Organisational reviews serve an important control function and should enable Norad to take an informed decision on support and identify important dialogue and follow-up issues. In addition, the reviews are expected to help grant recipients understand their strengths and weaknesses, and provide recommendations on how organisational capacities and systems could be strengthened.
