CHECKLIST: WRITING MEAL REPORTS Make sure your report is completed and disseminated on time. Write in clear, concise language and translate the report into local languages if necessary. Be consistent in your use of terminology and definitions. While it is useful to report on the outputs, the report’s focus should be on the outcomes. Use evidence to demonstrate how your activity contributed to the outcome/s. Use figures, summary tables, maps, photographs, and graphs when information is complex. Highlight key points. Ensure you reference the material you have used, whether primary or secondary. Include a table of contents for longer reports. Take a ‘no surprises’ approach and discuss the findings face-to-face with staff, participants or stakeholders involved and enable them to provide feedback. 75
