Evaluation
Karabena Consulting designs and leads evaluations for state and Commonwealth departments, health services, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and philanthropy, drawing on Indigenous evaluation frameworks that hold Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems at the centre of what is counted as evidence.
Our evaluations are built with the people they concern, and we establish the evaluation questions, the cultural governance and the way findings will be used with communities and with the services being evaluated before any fieldwork begins, so that the people who hold the knowledge shape what is asked of them and see the findings first.
We work across program, policy and system level evaluation, from a single program in one community through to statewide action plans and national guidelines, and we write in language that communities, boards and departments can each act upon.
The work below shows where we have done it.
