Abstract: Abstract The diversity of the contexts and the population benefiting from social, health, education and community services requires evaluators to develop new skills to (re)consider culture in their evaluation approaches. In this chapter, we illustrate through empirical case studies the value of approaches aimed at reinforcing culturally responsive evaluation (CRE) with the added value of the evaluator’s cultural humility. The cases present international situations involving different communities, various fields of intervention, and various cultural contexts. We demonstrate the importance of equipping evaluators with cultural humility, to produce credible results adapted to the context of the evaluation. In the cases reviewed in this chapter, this approach not only serves to illustrate its positive added value in the evaluation process but also emphasizes its significance for all evaluation stakeholders and beyond.
