À propos de l'événement
The objective of this session is for participants to experience a range of perspectives on why decolonizing evaluation and evaluation systems is essential and how this affects their practice - whether they work in local, national or donor evaluation systems, whether they are commissioning, undertaking or using evaluation evidence. The session explores how a focus on decolonization helps to change power dynamics, increase the likelihood that systems and interventions are relevant to and support liberation of local people. It reflects the major changes needed for resilience in the face of the unfolding polycrisis and the need to transform evaluation, so it goes beyond the mental models and priorities of dominant economic and political forces.
