Visual summaries of evaluation reports

In communicating evaluation findings, challenges are often seen with the key product to do so – the evaluation report.  Often evaluation reports suffer from being long, wordy and just plain boring! Therefore, we have to find new ways to communication evaluation findings.

One way I find interesting is the use of a visual summary of findings – that summarises the evaluation findings graphically  and in a limited number of pages.  I recently had the opportunity to use this format for an evaluation for Oxfam – as seen in the image in this post. You can view the full summary by clicking on the image (it brings you to a pdf file).
