Evaluation Journal of Australasia Publication Award

    The 2022 Evaluation Society Awards of Excellence had recently announced that they had awarded the Evaluation Journal of Australasia Publication Award to the Northern Land Council.

    The paper Checking up to keep on track: An Aboriginal-led approach to monitoring well-being addresses an important issue—the need to develop monitoring systems that privilege Aboriginal led visions of community development in northern Australia.

    The authors were careful to ensure that their findings were framed using an appropriate theoretical framework for wellbeing. The findings provide valuable lessons for others working with Aboriginal communities where externally imagined assumptions about what is good for communities end up being imposed on them, rather than being developed from the ground up.

    Authors are:
    • Dr Linda Kelly (Institute for Human Security and Social Change Latrobe University), 
    • Dr Mary Whiteside (Adjunct Associate Professor La Trobe University),
    • Hayley Barich (Monitoring and Evaluation Project Officer at Northern Land Council) and
    • Prof Komla Tsey (Tropical Leader and Research Professor in Education for Social Sustainability within the School and The Cairns Institute).
