Sharing Evaluation Findings with Communities – Liberia

I worked on the design of a new methodology to share evaluation data and findings in an audience-appropriate manner with the participants of USAID’s Community Land Protection Program (CLPP) research activities in Liberia. This novel initiative gave communities the opportunity to learn about themselves from the analyzed data on specific topics that were interesting or meaningful to them.

In doing this work, USAID is at the frontlines in demonstrating that evaluation work can also be a source of community knowledge rather than just an “extractive” activity.  This learning exercise promoted collaboration between the program implementer, our communications and research teams, local government entities in addition to on the ground facilitators that our company trained.

I designed various interactive visual aids (see below) for the communities and worked with a team to design the interactive learning exercises.
