Before you begin your evaluation, consider the needs of and get input from your evaluation stakeholders.
Ask & decide: How can the results most effectively be shared and utilized? Be creative about how to share evaluation results. Sometimes a full, formal report is not needed, especially when the evaluation was designed for program improvement.
Describe methods and results appropriately so that the user understands what was done, and what was found, and can come to their own conclusions about the credibility of your evaluation.
Include clear takeaways, recommendations, and/or next steps & the evaluation’s limitations and assumptions.
Ask, adapt, and iterate. Evaluate the evaluation reporting and dissemination. This does not have to be intense, but can consist of asking one or more questions like, "Did this report give you what you needed? How do we get the right amount of information in front of the right people?"

Consider working with your team or colleagues to list out more than one audience for dissemination and evaluation use. For example:

	Person/Group 1	Person/Group 2	Person/Group 3
Who to share with?
What format/ product/ process will engage them?
What is appropriate to share with them?
What is our responsibility to share with them?*
Who will take the lead on this and what support do they need

*It is your duty as an evaluator to act with honesty and transparency, and to share results that may be uncomfortable, e.g., areas for program improvement, truths about who the program is not working well for and why, who the program is and is not reaching, etc. (American Evaluation Association, 2018).
