The 2026 SeedNL evaluation examines how we function as a partnership, focusing on collaboration, governance, added value and future direction. Based on interviews, document review and joint reflection, it assesses how partners work together. It is not an impact evaluation of our programmes.
The evaluation highlights SeedNL’s ability to connect diverse actors, facilitate open dialogue and bring together complementary expertise in seed sector development. Partners value the trusted Secretariat and the space SeedNL provides for exchanging knowledge, discussing different perspectives and developing collaboration.
The report also identifies opportunities to strengthen the partnership as it grows. Recommendations include clearer roles and decision-making processes, stronger participation in shaping strategic priorities, and a shared understanding of success. These findings provide input for discussions on SeedNL’s next phase and underline the shared responsibility of all partners in taking collaboration forward.
