<p>Implications for policy and practice by actor.</p>

A rapidly evolving yet conceptually fragmented literature on decolonising evaluation has emerged in response. We conducted a scoping review to chart the nature and breadth of this literature and synthesise insights to guide future evaluation scholarship and practice.

Academic database searches identified 1,024 records, of which 732 were screened at title and abstract following deduplication. Combined with 138 records from grey literature and citation searches, a total of 653 reports were assessed at full text, from which 59 records were included in the final synthesis. Our synthesis reveals that the literature points in two concurrent, dialectical and complementary theoretical projects: the first involving the deconstruction of colonial systems, and the second the (re)construction of decolonial and Indigenous-centred alternatives.
