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

尽管在针对土著人的方案上进行了大量的财政投资，但几乎没有证据表明哪些方案能有效地克服土著人的不利处境。需要有更多和更好的评价，由作为伙伴与土著利益攸关方合作的供资者提供支持。该项目将确定委托实践如何支持土著社区参与的原则，以确保方案符合土著需求和优先事项，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.
