Procurement of consultancy for the Evaluation of Energy Programming under the Civilian Component of the Nansen Program for Ukraine and Moldova

Description

This evaluation focuses on outcomes and impacts in the energy sector, assessing the causal logic linking energy support to wider civilian outcomes within the Nansen Program Theory of Change, contribution pathways, cross-sector interactions, unintended effects, and the conditions under which different approaches may be sustained or expanded. Understanding how energy investments translate into broader resilience outcomes, and how they interact with Norwegian donor mechanisms and other portfolio elements, is essential for prioritization and resource allocation. Furthermore, since maintaining short-term system stability, protecting civilians, and advancing longer-term transition goals do not always align perfectly, the resulting trade-offs are central to understanding programming choices and outcomes. The evaluation covers the civilian component of the Nansen Support Program from its inception in February 2023 through July 2026.
