The Summit for the Future of Evaluation is set to take place on 29-30 May 2025 in Thimphu, Bhutan, 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 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 for the Future of Evaluation is a collaboration among the Community of Evaluators-South Asia; Evaluation Association of Bhutan; the Eval4Action campaign’s co-leaders, namely the UNFPA Independent Evaluation Office, EvalYouth Global Network, and the GPFE; together with the International Organization for Cooperation in Evaluation (IOCE); and the Government of Bhutan.
The Summit will feature the second annual Youth in Evaluation Champion awards 2025, recognizing organizations across sectors that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to upholding the Youth in Evaluation standards.
Bursaries will be available to support young evaluation professionals to join in-person or participate online. Youth in Evaluation champions in 2024 and 2025 will receive a special invitation to attend the awards ceremony at the Summit. Additional details will be available shortly.
