There is a lack of clarity around intra-organisational evaluation roles and pathways into these roles in non-government organisations (NGOs). This article presents three auto-narratives from the authors who are working as internal evaluators in the NGO sector. We examine this phenomenon of role ambiguity by exploring our evaluation journeys and struggles to find identities in the formal evaluation community. Findings from the auto-narratives identify implications for the evaluation field regarding professionalisation. This article explores how aspects of professionalisation, such as clarification of roles and tasks of internal evaluators, could facilitate their recruitment, assess credibility and guide career trajectory. Elucidating internal evaluation career pathways contributes to the evaluation discipline by providing information relevant for evaluation capacity building, evaluator training, and the professionalisation movement.
在非政府组织（NGO）中，组织内部评估角色以及进入这些角色的途径尚不明晰。本文呈现了三位在非政府组织部门担任内部评估员的作者的自述。我们通过探索自己的评估历程以及在正式评估群体中寻找身份认同的挣扎，来审视这种角色模糊的现象。自述的研究结果确定了对评估领域专业化的影响。本文探讨了专业化的各个方面，例如明确内部评估员的角色和任务，如何能够促进他们的招聘、评估可信度并指导职业轨迹。阐明内部评估职业途径，通过提供与评估能力建设、评估员培训和专业化运动相关的信息，为评估学科做出贡献。
