Indigenous engagement and leadership in the evaluation of Indigenous health and wellbeing programs: Taking steps to improve government and non-government commissioning practices

尽管对土著特有方案进行了大量的财政投资，但几乎没有证据表明哪些方案在克服土著劣势方面是有效的。需要更多和更好的评价得到与土著利益攸关方合作的资助者的支持。该项目将确定委托实践如何支持土著社区参与的原则，以确保方案与土著需求和优先事项保持一致，并改善未来的健康结果。

Despite significant financial investment in Indigenous-specific programs there is little evidence on what programs are effective in overcoming Indigenous disadvantage. Needed are more and better evaluations supported by funders working with Indigenous stakeholders as partners. This project will identify how commissioning practices can support the principle of Indigenous community engagement to ensure that programs align with Indigenous needs and priorities and improve future health outcomes.
