not worked on an assessment before, think about what the key messages might be from
one of the case studies discussed in Section 2. What might be the key message for your 3
new assessment? Under the heading Step 4, record one of the key messages.

? Discuss three approaches that you might take to promote your messages and findings
to your key actors, and to broader audiences and the general public all of whom can
influence your key actors on your behalf. List these approaches under Step 4 on your
flip chart. Abu Dhabi, UAE

Pulling the Strategy together

This part of Step 4 deals with the task of comparing your impact strategy with those of
other groups. The task includes comparison of your impact statements, who the strategy is
targeting, what knowledge needs to be collected, and how to bring the results of the report
to the attention of key actors.

SMALLER GROUP PRESENTATION OF STEPS 1-4.
? Share your Steps 1-4 with the rest of the training group.

? Post the flip charts for each step together so that groups can see the variations in impact
statements, key relationships and so forth.

This is your very rough master outline, and it will give you a sense of what your impact

strategy for your assessment might become. Now you need to review and refine it.

GROUP DISCUSSION

? On the Impact Statement:
* Can the impact statements be combined into one comprehensive statement that is
still focused on change?
* Is there a general acceptance of the impact statement by the group?

? On WHO the strategy is targeting:
* Are there any other individuals or groups that should be added to the list?
* Media: have you included the key journalists who are influential in your country?

* NGOs: have you included the key NGOs who might help to promote the assessment
recommendations?
