The Dissemination Evaluation Tool guides practitioners through the intentional process of sharing program evaluation findings with key audiences—such as stakeholders, community members, funders, and policymakers—in ways that are accessible, understandable, and actionable. It explains why dissemination matters (e.g., increasing awareness of program impact, informing decision-making, fostering collaboration, and supporting sustainability), outlines how to tailor messages to different audiences, and offers strategies and formats for effectively communicating results so they drive learning, improvement, and informed action.
