Abstract
The notions of indigenous knowledge and cultural philosophies are becoming ubiquitous in many social inquiries and evaluation is no exception. Nonetheless, the pursuit to making evaluation impulses embedded in indigenous philosophies relevant in evaluation activities is yet to succeed. Thus, the article discusses the indigenous relational philosophies, approaches and practices of evaluation. Using qualitative research approaches, the study interviewed 43 indigenous development leaders and other local representatives in three local government areas in Ghana.
