The leading theme of 2021’s Conference is:

Evaluation innovation in Aotearoa; Enabling a safer climate and social equity for wellbeing

Toitū te whenua, toitū te tangata, whakamaua kia tina!

The ANZEA 2021 Conference aims to serve as a catalyst for innovative thinking and dialogue on the role of evaluation and on the transformative impact we can make.

This year’s Conference is organised around two primary focuses - social equity and a safer climate - which speak to the uncertainty we live in and which has been emphasised by the COVID-19 epidemic. The theme is interwoven with four strands: innovation; indigenous ways of knowing; leadership; and methodology.

This approach aims to help us explore the ways that evaluation in Aotearoa New Zealand might contribute to:

understanding current crises and challenges
responding to the threats and impacts of a global pandemic
taking action for social equity and a safer climate
helping vulnerable communities adapt to current and future changes
building collective responses as a profession; and
provide evaluation leadership on the global stage for a safer climate.
