The Local is Indigenous: EvalIndigenous advocacy for Indigenous evaluation
This panel presentation will canvas what Indigenous evaluation is, why it is important, and the work undertaken by EvalIndigenous to advocate for Indigenous evaluation. This advocacy includes the Indigenous Voices project which is documenting the presence and practice of Indigenous evaluators and evaluation/decision-making experts from around the globe; the development of an African Indigenous Evaluation Protocol; and advice to Indigenous communities about the questions they might ask evaluators to help ensure their full inclusion in evaluation decision-making and implementation. The panel will also reflect upon the 2030 SDG agenda and the full inclusion of Indigenous peoples.
