- Summary:
-
After decades of developing policies and programs designed to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, we still know very little about their impact, or how outcomes can be improved. Evaluation can answer questions about policy effectiveness, but both the quality and usefulness of evaluations of policies and programs affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are lacking. Evaluation is often an afterthought rather than built into policy design (and this can affect data collection and evaluation design and result in evaluations that tell you very little). Many evaluations focus on the wrong things (compliance rather than measuring impact, which means findings are often not useful). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have minimal input into evaluations. There is also no whole-of-government approach to evaluation priority setting. And while policy makers agree that evidence is critical for good policies, in practice there is little reliance on evaluation evidence when designing or modifying policies. The draft Indigenous Evaluation Strategy (the Strategy) sets out a new approach. It provides a whole-of-government framework for Australian Government agencies for evaluating policies and programs affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The Strategy puts Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people at its centre. To achieve better outcomes, what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people value, their expertise, and lived experiences needs to be reflected in what is evaluated, how evaluation is undertaken, and the outcomes policies and programs seek to achieve.
