Take a journey to 2030 where Visionary Evaluatives abound and link with
one another in actively bringing about a sustainable, equitable future.
Utilizing a creative storytelling approach, Visionary Evaluation for a
Sustainable, Equitable Future brings forward the centrality of values
in conjunction with the role of evaluation in building a future of
well-being for people, nature, and planet.
Visionary Evaluatives are guided by six principles. Those principles
highlight a commitment to equity and the sustainability of nature as
core values. They emphasize an orientation of humility, compassion, and
transparency as Visionary Evaluatives engage with others in a world of
living, entangled systems with both obvious and hidden
intersectionalities. They require Visionary Evaluatives to engage in
deep praxis--mindful and challenging reflection on what is being learned
through the intersection of values, iterative action and inquiry,
theory, outcomes, and vision. A diverse group of chapter authors share
their wisdom through envisioning 2030 and what it might mean to move in
the world applying aspects of the Visionary Evaluative Principles.
Through Visionary Evaluation for a Sustainable, Equitable Future, you
will learn about how you can contribute to a sustainable, equitable
future not only in evaluations, as either users or practitioners, but
also in your daily actions and lives.
