Leading Evaluation in Australasia: a Ten Year Strategic Plan

The AES is pleased to present its Ten Year Strategic Plan (2010-2020), Leading Evaluation in Australasia. This Plan has been developed on the basis of two strategic planning workshops held with the Board and consultation processes undertaken with regions and committees. The broader AES membership will be able to provide further input into this Strategic Plan prior to the development of an accompanying implementation strategy at the Board Meeting in February 2011.

The Strategic Plan provides a road map for the AES which is very exciting and presents a new proactive role for the AES in Australia, NZ and the broader Asia-Pacific region. The Strategic Plan will be used as a living document and so the AES Board welcomes input into the Strategic Plan and its accompanying Implementation Plan at any stage of the process.
