Abstract

Abstract

Abstract: There is increasing interest by governments and other service providers in the potential for Indigenous evaluation methods and approaches to support the evaluation of programs and services in a way that is culturally appropriate and responsive. Indigenous governments and organizations are using Indigenous evaluation methods and approaches to inform their own program and service delivery. This article explores the current status of Indigenous evaluation in the Northwest Territories, the opportunities for expanding the use of Indigenous evaluation, and some of the challenges that must be addressed.

Résumé

Résumé: Les gouvernements et autres fournisseurs de services accordent de plus en plus d’intérêt aux méthodes et approches autochtones en matière d’évaluation, afin de mieux appuyer l’évaluation de programmes et de services de manière respectueuse et adaptée à la culture autochtone. Les gouvernements et les organisations autochtones utilisent des approches et des méthodes autochtones en matière d’évaluation pour éclairer leurs décisions concernant les programmes et services pour lesquels ils sont responsables. L’article explore l’état actuel de l’évaluation autochtone dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest, les possibilités d’élargissement de l’usage de l’évaluation autochtone et certains des défis qui doivent toujours être relevés.
