The Summit for the Future of Evaluation will be held on 29-30 May 2025 in Colombo, Sri Lanka as a featured event at the Evaluation Conclave 2025. The summit marks the fifth anniversary of the Eval4Action campaign and the tenth anniversary of the EvalYouth Global Network and the Global Parliamentarian Forum for Evaluation (GPFE).
Inspired by the United Nations Summit of the Future and its resulting Pact for the Future, this summit calls for global collaboration in the evaluation field to accelerate the delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on meaningful youth engagement in evaluation and the ethical use of AI in evaluation. The summit will host the 2025 Youth in Evaluation Champions Award Ceremony, honoring organizations committed to empowering young evaluators.
Registrations will open as part of Evaluation Conclave 2025. Youth in Evaluation champions in 2024 and 2025 will receive a special invitation to attend the awards ceremony at the summit.
