At the beginning of this process, you identified your stakeholders. Revisit this section. Now is the time to prepare a BRIEF report that can be presented to stakeholders. The tighter the linkages among your goals, measurable objectives, interventions, immediate and follow-up outcomes, the stronger your report will be. Different reports and ways of reporting will be necessary for various stakeholders. A basic outline might include:
- One or two basic demographics about the problem
- Your basic objectives/intention of your program
- What you did
- What results/outcomes you found. What happened as a result of the program?
The report should include information regarding results which address the stakeholders' needs. The results should be of interest to your stakehholders. The report could be a one-page document front and back or a tri-fold. It should generally be no longer than one page. Place it on the quality paper and in as concise, organized, clear presentation as you can provide. In some instances, you may want to place your report in a presentation format (Harvard Graphics, Powerpoint, etc.) to make a more powerful presentation and to seek additional funding.
