contexts across the developing world. It also looks at the aftermath of the genocide: the shifting narrative of the genocide itself, the evolving debate over the role and impact of hate media in Rwanda, the challenge of digitizing archival records of the genocide, and the fostering of free and independent media in atrocity's wake.

tively and effectively about your work through highlighting achievements and impact. As well as supporting projects you are working on, information gathered in the field has the potential to be of great value to your organisation as a whole. By documenting programmes qualitatively in this way, you can provide stories that will help promote the achievements of a particular project or field, highlight engagement with partners and show the impact of your work on the ground. Capturing this information as you carry out your work can add significant value to reports and provide materials for case studies, news articles, interviews, photo stories and even films. These can then be used online and in printed publications to showcase your organisation’s work and to advocate for changes in policy. This toolkit will help to illustrate the successful impact of your projects with both donors and partners. Real life stories and pictures can be used in public information posters and leaflets, provide valuable examples to use in national workshops, and support a project’s advocacy activities."
