International Links
ANZEA is connected with a range of international evaluation associations and societies, through the networks of individual Board members members, as well as formal connections at the level of the Association.
In June 2017, ANZEA was given the opportunity to nominate the Australasian/South Pacific Representative to the International Organisation for Cooperation in Evaluation (IOCE) from the Australasian Evaluation Society (AES). We were delighted when Debbie Goodwin was nominated and accepted onto the IOCE Board. Debbie’s previous role on the ANZEA Board, current role as an Executive Board Member of Mā Te Rae and understanding of the work of the Fono, enables her to share her experiences, and promote the region. Her IOCE Board membership will also further strengthen our connections with AES, as she will regularly engage with them to share progress.This is an important role, as we can all connect and engage with one another to support discussions and developments with the IOCE on evaluation in Australasia and the South Pacific.
In December 2017, Debbie also became the co-chair of EvalIndigneous – an EvalPartners international forum supporting the global development of indigenous evaluation. This is an exciting opportunity to further strengthen local and international connections, to support and develop the EvalIndigenous agenda.
