ABSTRACT

This chapter demonstrates how to incorporate the results of a data analysis into a project report and how to discuss possible follow-up actions. Different organisations and donors have different reporting formats. Generally, most reports consist of three major sections: an introduction, a section summarising the activities, and a discussion on the effectiveness of the project as a whole. Reports may or may not include a section on recommendations or follow-up actions. Regardless, of whether or not these are asked for in the project report — it is in the organisation's best interests to document and discuss these so it can adapt and refine its future projects. When donors request performance information on activities which relate to training they normally require information on dates and a break down of the gender of the people attending. This process is known as disaggregating data. Most donors will ask for a summary of attendance data disaggregated by gender.
