This presentation will facilitate an interactive discussion while incorporating a variety of perspectives and interwoven experiences from evaluators, analysts and Indigenous peoples to share and further build knowledge that will help inform collaborative approaches to Indigenous program evaluations. Through this discussion, there will be an opportunity to share and gather insights and diverse perspectives into best practices to more effectively understand the unique experiences of Indigenous Peoples in the context of Indigenous program evaluations. The discussion will also draw on research, approaches and lessons learned from the evaluations of the Skills and Partnership Fund and the Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care Transformation Initiative. Based on experiences and perspectives shared, this discussion will seek to gather new knowledge and guiding principles to evaluation approaches that are meaningful to Indigenous partners and the evaluation community.
