Resumo
O mundo enfrenta desafios urgentes, como degradação ambiental, mudanças climáticas, guerras e desigualdades sociais cada vez mais profundas. A avaliação, enquanto campo transdisciplinar, tem emergido como ferramenta crucial para promover mudanças sistêmicas. Este estudo, baseado em entrevistas com 19 especialistas internacionais, explora o papel da avaliação no apoio a essas mudanças. O estudo conclui que a avaliação pode contribuir significativamente, fornecendo evidências e recomendações para a concepção de soluções e ajustes de estratégias. No entanto, para maximizar sua eficácia, é essencial adotar abordagens inovadoras e sistêmicas, equidade, justiça social e sustentabilidade como critérios, e novas tecnologias para coleta de dados e aprendizagem contínua.

Abstract
The world faces urgent challenges such as environmental degradation, climate change, conflict, and deepening social inequalities. As a transdisciplinary field, evaluation has become crucial for promoting systemic changes. Based on interviews with 19 international experts, this study explores the role of evaluation in supporting these changes. The study concludes that evaluation can contribute significantly to systemic changes by providing evidence and recommendations for designing solutions and adjusting strategies. However, it is essential to adopt innovative and systemic approaches, equity, social justice, and sustainability as criteria and new technologies for data collection and continuous learning to maximize its effectiveness.
