The purpose of the evaluation is to determine the most relevant, appropriate and effective means of generating new knowledge and strengthening research capacities which will be of value for developing countries. It is intended to both track and assess the results of research funding over a 10-year period and to extract conclusions that will form the basis for recommendations pertaining to development research funding in the coming years. Concerns about how to ensure the high quality of research and the most productive research partnerships underpin the evaluation.
The evaluation of Danish funding for development research over the past 10 years includes the assessment of the results of research projects, the Building Stronger Universities (BSU) programme and support for selected international research initiatives. The evaluation will include 3 country studies in Ghana, Uganda and Vietnam.

Concerns about how to ensure the high quality of research and the most productive research partnerships underpin the evaluation.
In the Danish context, the potential for links between (bilateral) development assistance and research has often been discussed over the years. With the establishment of 2 different funding windows in 2016, the contrasting arrangements demonstrate and underline that this issue remains important: the relatively “open” Window 1 research themes apply for 1 set of countries (those called “Danida priority” countries), while in the Window 2 group the research themes are very closely linked to agreed sector collaboration (SSC) priorities. These arrangements have emerged from the 2017 strategy for development and humanitarian assistance.
3 critical issues arise in debates on the future of development research:
— ensuring the highest quality of research funded by Danida/MoFA,
— contributing effectively to capacity development, including in fragile states,
— maximising the use of research results (in order to enhance policy impact).
The evaluation will explore these issues on the basis of an assessment of the main achievements of Danida/MoFA funded development research over the past 10 years.
Thus, the objectives of the evaluation are to:
— document the achievements of development research funding since 2008, including all modalities,
— on the basis of an analysis of the Danish and international context for development research, examine the results of funding development research since 2008, with particular focus on the relevance, outcomes and impact,
— draft recommendations for future funding of development research, indicating how to maximize quality, capacity development partnerships and policy impact.
The evaluation of Danish funding for development research over the past 10 years includes the assessment of the results of research projects, the Building Stronger Universities (BSU) programme and support for selected international research initiatives. The evaluation will include 3 country studies in Ghana, Uganda and Vietnam. The challenges associated with research capacity and education in fragile contexts will also be examined in the evaluation.

Liste og kortfattet beskrivelse af betingelserne
In Part III.A-C of the ESPD, economic operators must answer whether they are subject to exclusion grounds.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if the economic operator itself or any person who is a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body or has powers of representation, decision or control therein has been convicted by final judgement or fined within the last 4 years for any of the exclusion grounds relating to the criminal convictions listed in section 135(1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if it has unpaid overdue debt of 100 000 DKK or more to public authorities in relation to payment of taxes and payment of social security, cf. section 135(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. An economic operator is, however, not excluded where the economic operator provides guarantee of payment of the part of the debt which constitutes 100 000 DKK or more, or where the economic operator has agreed on a repayment scheme with the collection authority and that scheme is observed, cf. section 135(4).
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if it is subject to any of the exclusion grounds listed in sections 136(1)(1) and 136(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if it within the last 2 years has been subject to any of the exclusion grounds listed in sections 136(1)(3) and 137(1)(2-3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
The contracting authority can accept the following documentation in relation to the exclusion grounds in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (in order of priority):
1) Extracts from the relevant register or similar documents issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority or certificates issued by the competent authority in the country referred to as documentation that the tenderer is not subject to the grounds for exclusion stipulated in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2);
2) A declaration on oath (only if such extracts, certificates or similar documents are not issued in the country where the economic operator is established, or where the documentation does not cover all the grounds for exclusion stipulated in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2) entirely;
3) A solemn declaration made by the person concerned before a competent judicial or administrative authority, a notary or a competent professional or trade body, in the country of origin or in the country where the economic operator is established (only if there is no provision for declarations on oath in the country where the economic operator is established).
Thus, the contracting authority cannot accept e.g. a solemn declaration made before a notary if there can be issued a certificate by the competent authority in the country where the economic operator is established. Moreover, the contracting authority cannot accept self-declarations or similar declarations issued by the economic operator or the person concerned as documentation in relation to the exclusion grounds.
Economic operators can identify the relevant documentation using the online platform e-Certis: https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/ecertis/
Economic operators are encouraged to submit all necessary documentation as early as possible.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Danida Evaluation Department has entered into a contract regarding evaluation of development research. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine the most relevant, appropriate and effective means of generating new knowledge and strengthening research capacities which will be of value for developing countries. It is intended to both track and assess the results of research funding over a 10-year period and to extract conclusions that will form the basis for recommendations pertaining to development research funding in the coming years. Concerns about how to ensure the high quality of research and the most productive research partnerships underpin the evaluation.
