We're excited to see this republished article, "Raising the Bar — Integrating Cultural Competence and Equity: Equitable Evaluation – With 2024 Prologue," authored by Jara Dean-Coffey (she/her/hers) and Jill Casey of jdcPARTNERSHIPS and Equal Measure's Leon D. Caldwell, Ph.D.
Whether implicit or explicit, social justice and human rights are part of the mission of many philanthropies. Evaluation produced, sponsored, or consumed by these philanthropies that doesn’t pay attention to the imperatives of cultural competency may be inconsistent with their missions. The American Evaluation Association’s Statement on Cultural Competence provides those who produce, sponsor, and use evaluation an opportunity to examine and align their practices and policies within a context of racial and cultural equity and inclusion. The use of such a lens is paramount when evaluating a program whose goals touch on issues of equity or inclusion. This article — one of the most popular in the history of #TheFoundationReview — seeks to open a discussion of how philanthropy can use an equitable-evaluation approach to apply the principles of the AEA statement, present the concept of equitable evaluation alongside an approach for building equitable-evaluation capacity, and apply equitable-evaluation capacity building to philanthropy. Authors: Jara Dean-Coffey (she/her/hers), Jill Casey, & Leon D. Caldwell, Ph.D. Full Article → https://lnkd.in/g6B3ewBV
