Shifting the Evaluation Paradigm: The Equitable Evaluation Framework
The publication that sets out the Equitable Evaluation Framework, from the Equitable Evaluation Initiative with GEO. It treats equity as both the means and the end of evaluation, and invites foundations and nonprofits to rethink why and how they evaluate so practice reflects their values. It questions long-standing habits, such as favouring one kind of evidence or truth, and argues for modern definitions of validity, rigour and complexity. Written mainly for evaluation, learning and strategy staff.
