The call was developed based on the premise that evaluators from around the world, but particularly in the global South, share a strong feeling of discontent regarding the current evaluation profession. The source of such discontent is caused, firstly, by the perception that most of the evaluation theory and practice often implemented in the global South is largely based on a philosophical paradigm of the global North, overwhelmingly emphasizing responsibility to donors instead of understanding what works well in different contexts and what can be learned from such interventions. This is translated into evaluations declaring the success of a project, even when there is no receptor necessarily obtaining any benefit. Secondly, there was a shared perception that the work done in the South rarely receives adequate recognition or publicity in the world scenario, or a fair or adequate representation in subject-related journals.
