Warm greetings and welcome to anzea, the Aotearoa New Zealand Evaluation Association.
anzea was born from an evaluation (of course!) which identified the need for an organisation that would better serve and represent the unique needs, obligations and working environment of the Aotearoa New Zealand evaluation community.
We want to make the most of our bi-cultural and multicultural context. We will promote the integration of theory and practice in evaluation, specific to the needs of Aotearoa and will stimulate debate and research on evaluation practice and its role in here. We also seek to enhance evaluation capacity within local, Pacific and global evaluation communities.
