We’re excited to launch this new EvalforEarth discussion on a topic that continues to spark interest and innovation: how we communicate evaluations. The discussion, “Beyond the final report: What does It take to communicate evaluation well?”, will be open from 20 October to 10 November 2025.
Too often, communication is treated as an afterthought, something that happens once the report is written. But what if we thought of it differently?
Over the next three weeks, we invite you to share your reflections, experiences, and practical examples on:
How communication can be better integrated throughout the evaluation process;
The main challenges you face when planning and implementing communication activities; and
What tools, approaches, or partnerships have worked best in improving communication, learning, and use.
This week, let’s begin by exploring and responding to the first two questions :
What approaches or tools have helped you communicate findings more effectively to different audiences?
What are the main challenges you face when trying to embed communication into evaluation processes?
You are welcome to contribute in English, French, or Spanish.
Let’s use this space to learn from one another and share what’s working, and what’s still difficult as we all try to strengthen communication in our evaluation work.

Too often, communication is treated as an afterthought, something that happens once the report is written. But what if we thought of it differently?
In our recent blog, More than Reports: How Communications Can Enhance Learning and Use from Evaluations, we explored how communication can move beyond the traditional final outputs to to actively drive the learning and use of evaluation results.
Over the next three weeks, we invite you to share your reflections, experiences, and practical examples on:
