Description
This document is designed to provide evaluators with a practical way to:
- Examine their own backgrounds, beliefs, and biases and improve their capability of conducting evaluation using a culturally responsive and racial equity lens.
- Develop designs and protocols that produce evaluation questions capable of teasing out nuances that are often overlooked by common evaluation processes.
- Assess an organization’s (governance, leadership, and staff) commitment to issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Using the guidance contained in this document, evaluators can assemble more culturally competent teams; craft more culturally responsive evaluation designs; gain valuable perspectives from people who have previously been silent, ignored, or misunderstood; and more fully understand the reach, effectiveness, and impact of social investments.
