Description

Norad is the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation. We do the quality-assurance of Norwegian Development Cooperation. The Agency is a directorate under the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Girls’ education is a key priority area for Norway and it is targeted through a variety of channels. Girls’ education and gender equality is integrated in various ways in Norwegian bilateral aid to education. Girls’ education and gender equality must also be an integral part of the programmes of civil society organizations that receive financial support from Norad.
