"The guide is structured as follows: In the next section we briefly discuss policy processes in Vietnam and the role of research evidence. The third section focuses on communication as a means to inform policy-makers. This outlines key elements that must be considered to ensure researchers get the right message to the right people at the right time. Section four introduces the three communication products that are the focus of this guide: the policy brief; the research brief and the story of change. Section five gives advice on writing clearly. Sections six, seven and eight provide step-by-step guidance on developing policy briefs, research briefs and stories of change respectively. Section nine concludes, while section ten provides an explanation of some of the key words used throughout the guide." (Page 2)
