The Humanitarian Impact Institute (HII) analysed a sample of 20 publicly available evaluation tenders from INGOs, donors and the UN from 2023 to 2024.

The purpose was to determine how deeply that inclusion expectations are embedded in evaluations. 

This short report finds that the values of inclusion that organisations identify with, rarely find their way into evaluation tender documents effectively.

If evaluation requirements for inclusion are not clearly articulated in all parts of tender documents, then the likelihood of an inclusive evaluation is reduced.

If an evaluation is not inclusive, then clients are missing opportunities to better understand their programming impact on diverse communities.
