This scoping paper from ALNAP aims to raise the visibility and accessibility of locally led evaluation among relevant stakeholders in humanitarian contexts.
It highlights the importance of evaluations being conducted by local evaluators who possess a deep understanding of their communities' contexts, cultures, and values. The report suggests that despite ongoing discussions about decolonising and localising aid, many evaluations remain top-down and internationally led. To address this, the paper offers practical steps for stakeholders to meaningfully engage in and promote locally led evaluations, aiming to enhance accountability and effectiveness in humanitarian actions.
