1. Collaboration with local staff/partners Involving local teams early helps ensure messages are culturally relevant and shared through channels people actually use. This builds ownership and increases the chance the findings lead to real decisions.
2. Low- or no-cost communication I’ve found simple tools work best: short summaries or infographics, WhatsApp updates, quick storytelling videos, and small group discussions to walk through results. These methods make findings clear and actionable without needing big budgets.
Communication isn’t just a final step; it’s what turns evidence into action. Excited to learn from others’ approaches as well.
