The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) has for more than a hundred years been responsible for ensuring an integrated and environmentally sound management of Norway’s water and energy resources. NVE employees were already more than 50 years ago assisting UN-organisations in developing countries. Since that NVE has acquired a vast experience and knowledge in development assistance, especially through assignments for Norad during the past 30 years.

The main tasks of the International Section are project preparation of energy and water resources related projects and cost and quality control of projects and programmes during implementation. The major part of the professional work is carried out by staff from the various technical departments and sections of NVE. 

During 2008 a total of 62 persons were involved in the assistance, compared to 46 in the previous year. In addition, private consultants and professionals from other directorates and research institutions were sub-contracted to assist NVE in cases where NVE either lacked competence or was temporarily short of capacity.
