Evaluation for the People: an evolution in how we learn together
We are evolving. For more than 30 years, we have worked alongside communities, organizers, nonprofits, funders, and movements to understand how change happens and how learning can support it. Now, we are leaning further into our commitment to evaluation for the people: decolonizing evaluation to return it to community hands.
In this post, we share our strategic shift from making evaluation more equitable to reclaiming it as a community-rooted, decolonized, liberatory practice. We call this liberatory, learning-first evaluation—where knowledge is created with communities, defined by communities, and returned to communities in ways that strengthen their power, decisions, and futures.
