Seeding grants encourage innovation (e.g., intergenerational transmission of knowledge, proverbs as an Indigenous evaluation methodology) and are responsive to the needs, priorities, and aspirations of Indigenous peoples about how a small project will work best for them. 

Those who received seeding grants in 2023 (Evaluation Association of Bhutan, EvalYouth Nepal, EvalYouth Pacific, EvalYouth Sri Lanka, and Mongolian Evaluation Association) were offered a germinating grant to build on, or to perhaps innovate on, the work they have undertaken for their seeding grants. Germinating grants will support Indigenous evaluation responsiveness, understanding and capability and be responsive to Indigenous peoples' needs and aspirations.

In-person and virtual meetings, and other sharing and dissemination activities - especially those with and for Indigenous peoples - will be supported to share knowledge, spark dialogue and influence evaluation policies and practice. This includes the translation of report summaries into local Indigenous language.

Small evaluations or evaluation planning, where our knowledge and guidelines are put to the 'test' in an evaluation context to demonstrate the value of Indigenous evaluation. These 'demonstrations' would be carried out by, with and for Indigenous peoples. Blossoming projects will take place in Nepal, Philippines, and Sri Lanka.
