EvalIndigenous is a multi-stakeholder network built on a foundation of the knowledge and expertise of Indigenous peoples and allies around the world. By identifying, cultivating and sustaining project leadership within indigenous peoples and communities, we have been able to promote Indigenous evaluative thought and provide guidance on responsive Indigenous evaluation practice. The goals of EvalIndigenous are to:
- Increase recognition, understanding and implementation of culturally responsive evaluation practices within Indigenous contexts
- Promote traditional approaches as well as local innovation in evaluation practice with Indigenous peoples
- Cultivate understandings and use of culturally responsive evaluation methodologies to ensure Indigenous peoples full participation in evaluation
- Strengthen evaluative thinking and evaluation capacity among Indigenous peoples
- Build demand for culturally responsive Indigenous evaluation among evaluation practitioners, evaluation commissioners, and politicians
- Document evaluation and research protocols developed or endorsed by Indigenous peoples
