"This guide is designed for anyone who wants to learn how communication can more effectively support evaluation: evaluation consultants, communication consultants, evaluation commissioners and programme/project staff participating in evaluations. The guide is structured around three broad phases of the evaluation process: before, during and after. The guide aims to provide advice and practical hints on how to use communication for each of these phases. A communication plan of action template adapted for evaluation is provided at annex 1. Examples of innovative communication tools for evaluation are found at annex 2. A case study is included at annex 3 that can be used for learning purposes. Links to extra resources are found at annex 4. The guide explains how to use communication to support evaluation and readers can adapt and use these approaches depending upon the stage of the evaluation process, their own context and available resources."
