In the case of previous applicants, the final report for completed projects must have been received and approved before any new grant can be awarded.
For tidligere tilskuddsmottakere skal sluttrapporter for avsluttede prosjekter være mottatt og godkjent før det kan bli aktuelt å gi ny støtte.
7 Follow-up and control
7 Oppfølging og kontroll
7.1 General reporting requirements
7.1 Generelle rapporteringskrav
The final report and audited accounts for the project must be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as possible and no later than six months after the project’s completion.
Prosjektets sluttrapport og revisorbekreftet prosjektregnskap sendes til Utenriksdepartementet så snart som mulig og senest seks måneder etter prosjektets avslutning.
It is important that the final report and the accounts are submitted together, not separately.
Det er viktig at sluttrapport og regnskap sendes samlet og ikke i ulike forsendelser.
The project accounts are to follow the same format as the budget in the grant application.
Prosjektregnskapet skal følge samme oppsett som budsjettet i søknaden.
An auditor’s report ensuring an adequate degree of accuracy in accordance with RS 800 will be required.
Det vil hovedsakelig også bli stilt krav om revisjonsberetning for prosjektregnskapet med betryggende grad av sikkerhet etter standard RS 800.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs can waive this audit requirement for projects that are very limited in scope.
Utenriksdepartementet kan fravike kravet om revisorbekreftelse for tiltak av svært begrenset omfang.
Grant recipients subject to Norwegian public sector audit are similarly not required to submit audited accounts.
Mottakere underlagt norsk offentlig regnskapskontroll skal heller ikke levere revisorbekreftet regnskap.
If the implementation of the project is delayed in relation to the application, a status report must be submitted well before the original end date for the project.
Dersom gjennomføringen av prosjektet blir forsinket i forhold til det man la opp til i søknaden må det sendes en statusrapport i god tid før opprinnelig sluttdato for prosjektet.
Grant recipients must without undue delay report any indications of corruption or misuse of Norwegian funds that they become aware of during the implementation of the project.
Tilskuddsmottaker skal også uten unødig opphold rapportere om indikasjoner på korrupsjon og misbruk av norske midler som oppdragstaker blir oppmerksom på under gjennomføringen av prosjektet.
Specific requirements as to the content of the final report and other reporting/follow-up requirements will be sent with the letter of allocation.
Konkrete krav til narrativ rapport og annen rapportering/oppfølging vil følge tilskuddsbrevet.
7.2 Follow-up of multi-year projects
7.2 Oppfølging av flerårige tiltak
For multi-year projects a status report on the implementation of the project, including a financial report, work plan and budget for the coming year, is to be submitted by 15 February each year or by another date specified in the agreement.
For flerårige tiltak skal det innen den 15. februar hvert år, eller annet tidspunkt bestemt i avtalen, innsendes rapport om status for gjennomføringen av prosjektet, inklusiv regnskapsrapport, samt arbeidsplan og budsjett for det kommende år.
This will provide a basis for the annual meeting and for the Ministry to approve the continuation of the project.
Dette vil danne grunnlag for evt. årlig møte og for Departementets godkjenning av prosjektets videreføring.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs convenes the annual meeting at which the following items will be discussed:
Utenriksdepartementet innkaller til det årlige møtet som vil diskutere:
Progress report including financial report
Fremdriftsrapport m/regnskap
Work plan and budget
Arbeidsplan og budsjett
Follow-up measures until the next annual meeting, progress reports, evaluation/review, project visits (if relevant)
Oppfølging frem til neste årlige møte som: fremdriftsrapporter; evaluering/gjennomgang; prosjektbesøk (hvis aktuelt)
The conclusions of the meeting are to be recorded in the “Agreed Minutes”, the first draft of which is to be drawn up by the grant recipient.
Konklusjonene fra møtet nedsettes i ”Agreed minutes”, første utkastet utarbeides av tilskuddsmottaker
7.3 Appeals procedure
7.3 Klagebehandling
Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Ministry or organisation that made the decision, within three weeks from the date on which notification of the decision was received.
Klagen må fremsettes skriftlig til det departement eller organisasjon som har fattet vedtaket innen 3 uker, fra det tidspunkt underretning om vedtaket er mottatt.
The parties involved have the right to inspect documents in the case, in accordance with sections 18-19 of the Public Administration Act.
Part i saken har innsyn i sakens dokumenter i henhold til Forvaltningslovens §§ 18-19.
Appeals should be based on the Ministry’s grounds for its specific decision.
Klagen bør begrunnes med bakgrunn i den informasjon Departementet har lagt til grunn i forbindelse med det konkrete enkeltvedtak.
7.4 Disbursement of funds, recovery of interest, reimbursement of unused funds
7.4 Utbetalingstakt, renteinnkreving, tilbakebetaling av ubrukte midler
Grants will be disbursed in arrears once a year to cover accrued expenses or at the request of the recipient, in advance.
Utbetaling av tilskudd skjer etterskuddsvis en gang pr. år til dekning av utgifter som er påløpt eller, etter begrunnet anmodning fra mottaker, forskuddsvis.
For grants of over NOK 5 million a year the approved amount will be divided into two payments in accordance with the grant recipient’s documented expenditure.
For prosjekter over 5 millioner pr. år skal tilsagnsbeløpet deles i to utbetalinger iht. til dokumentert faktisk forbruk hos tilskuddsmottaker.
A separate account should be set up for all grants received from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the exemption of Norwegian government recipients that are part of the state guarantee scheme..
Det skal opprettes en egen, felles konto for alle tilskudd mottatt fra Utenriksdepartementet.
Unused funds and interest earned worth in total more than NOK 1000 are to be returned to the Ministry after the project is concluded.
Ubenyttede midler samt renteinntekter på til sammen mer enn 1000 NOK, skal ved tiltakets avslutning tilbakebetales Departementet.
Interest earned on grants to multi-bilateral projects, multi-donor projects, state-to-state assistance, and support to international and local non-governmental actors can be used for projects provided for in the agreement between the Ministry and the recipient concerned.
Opptjente renter på tilskudd til multi-bi-prosjekter, multidonor-prosjekter, stat-til-stat-bistand, samt støtte til internasjonale og lokale ikke-statlige aktører, kan benyttes til tiltak som nedfelles i avtalen mellom UD og den enkelte mottaker.
For Norwegian government recipients reimbursement rather than debit authorisation is preferred.
For norske statlige mottakere foretrekkes bruk av refusjon fremfor belastningsfullmakt.
7.5 Other control measures
7.5 Andre kontrolltiltak
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the embassy concerned will regularly inspect the projects in the field.
Utenriksdepartementet eller utenriksstasjon skal jevnlig inspisere det enkelte tiltaket i felt.
The frequency of these inspections will be determined on the basis of need and risk.
Hyppighet bestemmes ut fra vesentlighet og risiko.
Where there is a suspicion of irregularities the question of whether an audit and possibly an administrative review should be conducted without prior notice will be assessed.
Ved mistanke om uregelmessigheter vil det vurderes om uanmeldt revisjons-/regnskapsgjennomgang, evt. forvaltningsgjennomgang skal foretas hos mottaker.
Where there is reasonable suspicion of breach of contract, all funds to the recipient will be frozen and the necessary investigation initiated.
Ved begrunnet mistanke om mislighold skal all pengestrøm til mottaker fryses og nødvendig etterforskning igangsettes.
The total or partial refund of funds may also be required if the recipient does not comply with the conditions of the grant, including if there is insufficient documentation as to how the funds have been used.
Hel eller delvis tilbakebetaling av utbetalte midler kan også kreves tilbakebetalt dersom tilskuddsmottaker ikke opptrer i samsvar med forutsetningene for tilskuddet, herunder dersom det ikke er tilfredsstillende redegjort for hvordan midlene er benyttet.
8 Evaluations and reviews
8 Evalueringer og gjennomganger
Norad’s Evaluation Department is responsible for planning and conducting independent evaluations of activities funded under the Norwegian development budget.
Norads Evalueringsavdeling har ansvaret for å planlegge og gjennomføre uavhengige evalueringer av aktiviteter finansiert over det norske utviklingsbudsjettet.
Evaluations may be carried out of the whole grant scheme or of parts of it, or of cross-cutting themes, common objectives and different countries that are covered by several grant schemes.
Evalueringer kan gjennomføres av deler eller hele ordningen, eller av tverrgående tema/mål/land som dekker flere tilskuddsordninger.
The Ministry will also participate in joint evaluations and reviews with other donor organisations, the UN system and partner countries.
Departementet vil også delta i fellesevalueringer og gjennomganger med andre giverorganisasjoner, FN-systemet og samarbeidsland.
In addition the Ministry seeks to initiate one to two evaluations each year of projects or groups of projects.
I tillegg ønsker Departementet å selv initiere en til to evalueringer hvert år av enkelt tiltak eller grupper av tiltak.
The evaluations will be carried out by independent groups, if necessary following an external tender process.
Evalueringene skal gjennomføres av uavhengige miljøer, hvis nødvendig etter en ekstern anbudsprosess.
In addition 3–4 internal reviews will be carried out at the Ministry.
I tillegg skal det gjennomføres 3-4 fagfellegjennomganger internt i departementet.

Why has Mullah Krekar not been returned to Iraq?
Hvorfor har ikke Mulla Krekar blitt returnert til Irak?
The Norwegian Government’s view is crystal clear: we want to return the person known as Mullah Krekar to Iraq as soon as this is feasible.
Den norske regjerings syn er tindrende klart: Vi ønsker å returnere personen kjent som Mulla Krekar til Irak så raskt det lar seg gjøre.
There is an expulsion order against him.
Han er utvist fra Norge.
He is considered to pose a threat to national security.
Han er ansett å være en trussel mot rikets sikkerhet.
We are assessing the situation in Iraq on an ongoing basis with a view to returning him as soon as possible.
Vi vurderer situasjonen i Irak fortløpende, med sikte på at han skal kunne returneres snarest mulig.
We are assessing the situation on an ongoing basis and are in contact with the Iraqi authorities on this issue.
Vi vurderer situasjonen fortløpende, og har kontakt med Irak om dette.
What is required for Norway to return Mullah Krekar to Iraq?
Hva skal til for at Norge returnerer Mulla Krekar til Irak?
In the current situation, no Western countries are returning persons to Iraq who face accusations similar to those Mullah Krekar faces.
Ingen vestlige land returnerer i dagens situasjon personer til Irak med slike beskyldninger som Mulla Krekar har rettet mot seg.
Here we are in line with all other countries that are bound by fundamental human rights obligations.
Vi er her på linje med alle andre land som er bundet av grunnleggende menneskerettighetsforpliktelser.
The Norwegian authorities have an obligation to make an independent assessment of whether the conditions for the return of Mullah Krekar to Iraq are fulfilled.
Norske myndigheter er forpliktet til å foreta en selvstendig vurdering av om forholdene for retur til Irak er tilstede.
This assessment is being made on an ongoing basis.
Denne vurderingen gjøres fortløpende.
In addition, the Iraqi authorities must have provided sufficient guarantees that he will not be executed or subjected to torture or other inhuman or degrading treatment, and these guarantees must be binding under international law.
I tillegg må det foreligge tilstrekkelige folkerettslig forpliktende garantier fra irakiske myndigheter for at Mulla Krekar ikke vil bli henrettet, utsatt for tortur eller annen nedverdigende behandling.
The document in question has not been issued by the central authorities in Iraq, but appears to have been signed by a representative of the regional authorities in northern Iraq.
Dokumentet er ikke utstedt av sentrale myndigheter i Irak, men tilsynelatende underskrevet av en representant for regionale myndigheter i Nord-Irak.
Consequently, the document does not provide any diplomatic guarantee against abuse or against the implementation of a death sentence against Mullah Krekar, and it does therefore not change the conditions for the return of Mullah Krekar to Iraq.
Dokumentet gir derfor ingen diplomatisk garanti mot mishandling eller for at en eventuell dødsstraff mot Mulla Krekar ikke vil bli gjennomført, og endrer ikke returforutsetningene for Krekar til Irak.
Why did Norway decline to accept the document that according to NBC contained new guarantees from the Iraqi authorities that Mullah Krekar will be given decent treatment?
Hvorfor avslo Norge å motta dokumentet som NBC hevdet inneholdt nye garantier fra irakiske myndigheter om at Krekar vil bli forsvarlig behandlet?
This is a serious case where Norway has clear obligations under international law.
Dette er en alvorlig sak hvor Norge har klare folkerettslige forpliktelser.
It is therefore not possible to accept and proceed with such a document in a proper manner in an interview situation in front of a camera.
Det er derfor ikke mulig å saksbehandle et dokument som blir overlevert i en intervjusituasjon foran åpent kamera.
During the recording of the programme, the Norwegian authorities repeatedly tried to get more information about the alleged guarantees from NBC.
Norske myndigheter har i forbindelse med opptak av programmet ved gjentatte anledninger forsøkt å få nærmere informasjon om de påståtte garantiene fra NBC.
These requests were declined by NBC, but on Friday 17 July the Ministry of Foreign Affairs got a copy of the document through the Norwegian media.
Dette har blitt avslått av NBC, men Utenriksdepartementet fikk via norske medier tilgang til dokumentet fredag 17. juli.
The document has been published on the Ministry’s website.
Dokumentet er publisert på våre nettsider.
What basis does Norway have for claiming that the situation in Iraq does not at present warrant returning Mullah Krekar to Iraq?
Hva bygger Norge på når dere sier at situasjonen i Irak ikke tilsier retur i dag?
Important progress has been made in the Kurdish region in northern Iraq.
I de kurdiske områdene i Nord-Irak har man gjort viktige fremskritt.
However, according to reports by the UN and other independent sources, instances of torture and other abuse against persons who are suspected of being involved in the activities of radical groups in northern Iraq still occur.
I følge rapporter fra FN og en rekke andre uavhengige kilder forekommer det imidlertid fortsatt tortur og andre overgrep mot personer som mistenkes for å være innblandet i virksomheten til radikale grupper i Nord-Irak.
Shouldn’t national security considerations weigh more heavily than the possible risk involved in returning Mullah Krekar to Iraq?
Burde ikke hensynet til Norges sikkerhet veie tyngre enn den eventuelle risikoen ved retur av Krekar til Irak?
Norway protects fundamental human rights also in cases concerning the expulsion of foreign nationals.
Norge ivaretar grunnleggende menneskerettigheter også i saker om utvisning av utlendinger.
We cannot return anybody if there is a is a real risk that the person will be subjected to torture or execution.
Vi kan ikke returnere noen dersom det er reell fare for tortur eller dødsstraff.
In several similar cases, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against relaxing the conditions for return due to national security considerations.
Den europeiske menneskerettsdomstol har avvist å lempe på kravene til returvern av hensyn til rikets sikkerhet i flere lignende saker.

New research vessel for Africa
Nytt forskningsskip for Afrika
The work to procure the new vessel will begin in 2013, and it is expected to be completed in 2016.
Arbeidet starter i 2013 og fartøyet ventes å være klart i 2016.
The research vessel is part of the EAF-Nansen Programme.
Skipet inngår i det såkalte Nansenprogrammet.
So far, more than 60 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America have received assistance to survey and monitor their marine resources, as well as training and help to improve the management of these resources.
Mer enn 60 land i Afrika, Asia og Latin-Amerika har til nå fått hjelp til kartlegging og overvåking av marine ressurser, utdanning og styrket forvaltning.
The research also focuses on climate change and the environment in African waters.
Klimaendringer og miljø i afrikanske farvann er også del av forskningen.
This can help to promote growth and better management of the natural resources," Mr Holmås said.
Denne måten kan bidra til både vekst og til bedre forvaltning av naturressursene, sier Holmås.
The vessel Dr Fridtjof Nansen has been in continuous use for almost 20 years.
Det eksisterende fartøyet har vært i kontinuerlig drift i snart 20 år.
It no longer meets all the scientific requirements of the EAF-Nansen Programme.
Det tilfredsstiller ikke lenger fullt ut de vitenskapelige behovene til Nansenprogrammet.
The estimated cost of a new vessel is around NOK 440 million, at today's value.
Et nytt fartøy er beregnet til å koste om lag 440 millioner 2012-kroner.
These costs will be spread over four years.
Utgiftene vil fordeles over fire år.
NOK 45 million has been allocated in the budget proposal for 2013 to cover the costs of concluding a contract.
Kostnadene ved kontraktsinngåelse er budsjettert til 45 millioner kroner for 2013.
