S2SE Objectives
- S2SE aims to elevate the substantial, but underutilized, indigenous knowledge, theory, and capacities of the Global South, and to reverse the asymmetries in decision-making, resources, and knowledge in the global evaluation ecosystem.
- Expand awareness of the aim of S2SE, build capacity and create incentives for the engagement of southern evaluators in decisions about what is evaluated, with whom, for whom, and how – both within and beyond the aid and public sector agenda.
- Engage in decision-making fora that shape evaluation in the Global South and worldwide, in order to ensure that the perspectives of Global South evaluators are central in determining agendas, resource flows and governance of evaluation and development, particularly
as it pertains to the Global South. - Elevate the visibility and influence of Global South knowledge, research, and evidence by publishing and communicating existing work, and generating new knowledge, research, and evidence of what works in development in the Global South – why, how, for whom, and under what circumstances.
- Enhance the influence of southern evaluators in new spaces and with new players who are driving global change in the Global South, including those from the private sector, impact investing, innovation, new markets, global movements working across boundaries, and other south-south collaborations.
