Blogs for evaluation dissemination

A blog provides an accessible and user-friendly format to communicate your evaluation

results. You can share findings from the evaluation as a whole or specific aspects such

as key learning, recommendations or experience of using different methods and tools.

All of these may incite your audience to read the full report. The DEVCO/ESS study to

understand the different ways in which evaluation results are communicated reveals

that 7 out of the 18 institutions consulted use blogs to disseminate their evaluations.

Blogs do not require particular preparation in terms of budgeting and planning, but there

are some writing principles to respect. These guidelines provide you with practical tips,

examples, and references to additional resources to get you started on evaluation blogs.
