An evaluation is only useful if its findings are clearly communicated to stakeholders and audiences that are in a position to influence the program's directions. It is important to communicate those findings clearly and accurately. Evaluation findings can and should be presented in three different ways:
- A narrative of the findings and the kinds of answers they give to the evaluation questions, with a discussion of the implications
- An objective display of the findings, including the quantitative findings, so that an interested person can draw his or her own conclusions about them
- Tables and graphs that visually communicate findings
