INDIGENOUS EVALUATORS GATHERING: Part 1
ZOOM ONLINE – MARCH 24TH, 2021
12:45 PM – 4:30 PM EST
Indigenous Evaluators are invited to join the discussion around evaluation of Indigenous programming. The gathering will host presenters, breakout sessions (with opportunities to build networks and collaborations) focussed on Indigenous evaluation when contracting with governments/funders and rethinking how evaluation should operate within Indigenous communities.
Indigenous evaluators want to compete successfully on government contracts and support evaluation efforts within Indigenous communities. Indigenous evaluation models need to be accepted and used as the primary tool for the assessment of programs. Indigenous indicators framing success must be used to assess outcomes accurately. Indigenous evaluators need to network and collaborate to share resources, ideas, and opportunities.
The objectives of the gathering are:
- To discuss what supports are needed to engage, collaborate, and build a strong Indigenous Evaluators network
- Identify what the current challenges are to bidding or working on government evaluation projects
- Starting to build a vision for Indigenous Evaluators for collaboration and strengthening our capacities for levelling the playing field with non-Indigenous evaluators and government contracting (besides set-asides)
Breakout sessions will be part of the gathering in addition to in-depth discussions. The gathering will be interactive using SLI.DO to gather quick input on discussions.
ELDER, FIRST NATIONS, MÉTIS AND INUIT PANELISTS, SPECIAL GUESTS, and FRENCH FACILITATOR WILL FOLLOW NEXT WEEK.
