Evaluation MS at the Crossroads

Abstract

MS continues to be a key actor in Danish development cooperation. The organisation has made progress in several areas since its MS in the South (MSiS) Programme was reviewed in 2000, and it continues to play an important role in the larger Danish NGO community, as catalyst, coordinator and service provider. In the area of development education, MS’ special position needs to be further nurtured and developed, particularly with reference to the rapidly changing demands of the Danish school system. MS’ financial management is basically sound, but some further effort is required to allow the organisation to measure its own performance in terms of financial effectiveness and efficiency. While the impact of MS’ activities may be uneven, their relevance is not an issue. MS deals with problems and challenges that are important to all of us. Overall, it does so in a vibrant and professional way.
