A guide to evaluation under the Indigenous Evaluation Strategy
This guide has been developed as a companion to the Indigenous Evaluation Strategy. It provides practical advice for Australian government agencies on how to conduct evaluations of policies and programs affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The guide does not require users to have in‑depth evaluation and methodological expertise. Rather, it is written for program managers and those commissioning and using evaluations. Links to further evaluation references, and more specialist sources, are provided throughout the guide.
The guide steps through the different stages of evaluating policies and programs and makes suggestions about how agencies can build a culture to support evaluation under the strategy. It covers:
- building evaluation into policy and program design
- deciding what policies and programs to evaluate
- evaluation planning, design and conduct
- reporting and using evaluation findings
- building capability and a culture of evaluation.
