For those organisations participating in the new cycle of Strategic Partnerships, an important factor that the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) weighs in their decision is the financial and organisational capacity of the partner to implement their projects.
What is the COCA?
Reviewing how you rate on the Ministry’s COCA (Checklist Organisational Capacity Assessment) is a good step to take. Whether it is your first time having a capacity assessment done or you are looking to renew approval, let us give you some highlights of the COCA that specifically relate to data and information management:
- What is your organisational motivation and strategy? Do you have a Theory of Change based on evidence?
- What is your Track Record in reaching your goals and desired impact?
- What is your structure & governance, are Key Point Indicators monitored?
- To which extent do you report in conformity with IATI? Taking into account aspects such as reporting frequency, quality of data collection and reporting, results reporting and compliance with MoFA’s requirements.
