Abstract
Serge Eric Yakeu Djiam and EvalIndigenous team: Indigenous contribution to development evaluation: Worldwide perspectives from indigenous evaluators in Africa, North America, Latin America and Pacific.

 This panel session aims to present the international roles played by indigenous evaluators, members of “EvalIndigenous”, an EvalPartners’ network initiative, whose mandate is to support the 2030 SDGs’ agenda under a strong commitment of “Leaving no one behind” and “reaching the furthest behind first”. The session will highlight key achievements of EvalIndigenous as well as emerging challenges and perspectives in the loop of the EvalPartners’ agenda 2020. By employing case studies from indigenous initiatives globally or locally through VOPE's and country’s experience, the international presenters will also share emerging social, economic and political indicators of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda at their country and regional levels. Finally, this is an opportunity to collectively support the growth and acknowledgement of indigenous evaluative theory and practice worldwide.
