SUMMARY:Webinar: South Asian Local Wisdom in Evaluation
DESCRIPTION:Evaluation theories and practice used in South Asia are he
 avily dependent on North-based worldviews, values and paradigms. Despi
 te the impressive growth in knowledge assets, evaluation capacities an
 d democratic engagement in South Asia – what, how and for whom evalu
 ation takes place largely ignores local knowledge, philosophies and re
 alities.The Community of Evaluators-South Asia, with support from Eval
 Partners, the global partnership to strengthen national evaluation cap
 acities, and funding from the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and La
 bour of the United States Department for State for 2018-2019, implemen
 ted the Project, Mobilising South Asian Local Knowledge to Democratise
  Evaluation Theory and Practice. Studies of local knowledge from South
  Asian countries were presented at a workshop held in Sri Lanka in Jul
 y, 2019. The workshop discussed the ‘local wisdom’ in relation to 
 evaluation theory and practice. The workshop noted that when we move i
 nto our communities as people-centered evaluators we are open to local
  wisdom, to understanding context and culture, and being able – thro
 ugh our evaluations – to represent people’s realities well. This i
 s at the core of humanizing evaluation.The webinar, facilitated by Dr.
  Sonal Zaveri (Vice President, Community of Evaluators-South Asia) wil
 l present the key findings from the studies conducted in India, Bangla
 desh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan. The presenters will be Prof. Hafiza
  Khatun and Prof. Md. Humayun Kabir (Bangladesh), Dr. Chandra Bhadra (
 Nepal), Dr. Phuntsho Choden (Bhutan), Dr. Keerthi Mohotti (Sri Lanka),
  Dr. Shyam Singh (India) and Dr. Dev Pathak (India). The pressentation
 s will be followed by discussions.\nPlease register to join: https://
