A call to action to meaningfully engage youth and young evaluators in evaluation

The ‘Youth in Evaluation’ initiative urges the global evaluation community to commit to concrete action towards long-term, sustainable and meaningful engagement of youth and young and emerging evaluators in evaluation. 

Real and meaningful engagement of youth in evaluation provides an unparalleled opportunity to make development programmes responsive to the needs and demands of the youth. It raises youth voices and agency in evaluation, making evaluation a transformative force for inclusive, equitable and sustainable development.  

A call to action to join Youth in Evaluation

Celebrating Youth in Evaluation event, 23 May 2022

Youth in Evaluation invites individuals and institutions, including governments, parliamentarians, VOPEs, United Nations agencies, evaluators, academia, private sector, and the development sector at large, to adopt a manifesto (by signing it below) to advance meaningful youth engagement in evaluation. 

Youth in Evaluation celebrations on 23 May 2022, marked the global launch of the manifesto and was attended by over 400 people. On 30 May 2022, the initiative was launched in North America. Today the Youth in Evaluation manifesto has over 500 signatories (organizations and individuals). The agencies supporting this initiative include the ILO Evaluation Office, UNDP IEO, UNFPA Evaluation Office, World Bank IEG, Independent Evaluation Department of the Asian Development Bank, Independent Development Evaluation of the African Development Bank, and the CLEAR Centers for Francophone Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and South Asia, Government of India, Government of Kenya, among others. 

 

Building on this global momentum, standards to enhance meaningful youth engagement in evaluation are being co-created through intergenerational dialogues. The standards will support the implementation of the commitments in the manifesto by improving accountability and practice on engaging youth in evaluation. Learn more

New! A 5-day Youth in Evaluation week will take place from 24 to 28 April 2023. 

Everyone is invited! See the full programme.
