Reporting Skills and Professional Writing
Reports are an essential project management tool. Effective reporting helps to
compare the reality in the field with the plan, aids management thinking and increases
transparency.
This five-day course enhances participants' ability to set evaluation goals,
gather and analyse data and plan and write field and evaluation reports in concise,
clear language. It is equally suitable for both field staff and project management.
During this course participants learn the process of reporting and how to:
Set evaluation goals
Select data gathering methods
Analyse qualitative and quantitative data
Plan the report
Write more clearly and organise their ideas and analysis effectively
Mind Map developed around data on "Children in Nepal"
The training uses a range of methods, including presentation, group discussion,
problem-solving tasks, case study and practical exercises. There is a strong focus
