Indigenous Strategy Special Interest Group

Useful Links | Discussion Group

Welcome to the Australasian Evaluation Society AES Indigenous Strategy Special Interest Group (SIG). This SIG has been established to enable for members to share information. Indigenous evaluation was identified as a strategic objective of the Australasian Evaluation Society (AES) in 2003. The AES has developed an Indigenous Strategy with the aim to strengthen the growing interest in and commitment to Indigenous evaluation within the AES.

Discussion Group

In addition to the resources offered on this page, a discussion group has been established on Google Groups. It will enable people to share information, lodge evaluation reports, workshop reports, tools and resources for planning and conducting evaluations with the Indigenous community, case studies, information on effective and practical methodologies, podcasts, links to other websites etc.

You will need a Google account, if you don't already have one. It is free. You will also need to be approved to join. Membership is open to all people with an interest in Indigenous Evaluation.
