Tools for a Guidebook for Evaluating Fisheries Co-management Effectiveness


Task 3.6: Communicate the evaluation results

This task includes sharing the results and discussing them with the identified target audiences and finding ways to adapt management practices to improve fisheries co-management. Correct messaging allows the evaluation team to identify the critical pieces of information about the evaluation that target audiences will be looking for. A set of key messages will explain the results and help to focus the attention of specific target audiences. When preparing results and conclusions for sharing, determine how to orally and visually present them to different audiences, and how to distribute written reports (including graphs and tables of results) in accordance with the communication plan developed in Step 1. Include stories or anecdotes from stakeholders or the evaluation team – these will help to illustrate the results. The budget developed in Step 1 will provide resources for communicating the results. 

Communication characteristics known from previous tasks should be considered. Messaging needs to be clear for each audience.
