HuMEL Storytelling Session 2: Tips for Effective Writing and Reporting
Join CRS and the Humanitarian Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (HuMEL) peer community to learn how to refine skills in report writing, virtual presentations, and capturing human stories. This session will provide immediate, practical tips and best practices for writing reports, presenting data, and capturing human interest stories. It will help to demystify some of the common obstacles to writing and reporting, and help ensure that the messages and impact you want to convey are getting through to the target audience. Let’s make your time spent on producing and presenting information worthwhile, with the goal of having meaningful impact.
By the end of this session participants will be equipped with tips and best practices for producing and packaging reports, have examples of how to present data differently, and understand best practices for presenting virtually. Furthermore, this session will share guidelines on approaching interviews for capturing human interest stories. It is designed for staff who are asked to write or edit donor reports, capture “success stories” (or human interest stories), prepare virtual presentations on the impact of programming, and/or present data or impact to donors, peers, and other groups.
