Dissemination of Findings
Impact assessment findings will need to be effectively disseminated within DFID and its
partners if the aim is policy lesson learning. Accountability requires that the impact
assessment findings are accessible to the public and participants in the UK and partner
countries.
For this to be the case :
• dissemination needs to be planned from the beginning, and included in the TOR.
• dissemination needs to be directed at, and tailored for, specific groups.
Dissemination should be project / audience-led, not consultant- or product-led.
• reports (or at least summaries) should be translated into local languages where
necessary (and the costs of this included in the project budget).
• findings need to be openly and widely disseminated throughout the process, not
just at the end.
• the budget needs to contain sufficient resources for effective dissemination.
Dissemination methods need to be designed and implemented on a case by case basis.
Three primary methods of dissemination can be used :
• presentations, workshops and seminars
• impact assessment reports and summaries
• articles in general and academic publications
