Zusammenfassung:The promotion of evaluations that are sensitive to cross-cutting issues in the national evaluation communities such as equity, gender equality and social justice and on the shared principles of partnership, innovation, inclusivity, democracy, human rights and sustainable development is a fundamental approach not only to establish the need and the basis for developing credible and quality evaluations, but above all to consolidate an evaluation culture that is respectful of all its stakeholders, “leaving no one behind”, and applicable to each particular cultural and political context. The chapter discusses the role of Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs) in establishing a culture which considers horizontal principles as cross-cutting issues.
