In preparation for report writing, our reporting specialists will review existing documentation which may include project and/or programme documents, previous reports, country reports, evaluation reports, partner reports, trackers and databases, situational analyses and studies, and relevant project communication materials such as case studies, impact stories, social media posts, and more. They will identify gaps in data and collect information by appropriate means (in writing, interviews, other). The data will be consolidated, compiled and structured, and any additional inputs will be requested.

Drafting, review and finalisation of project progress and final donor reports, programme reports, country reports, flagship reports, partner reports, summary reports, briefs, one-pagers, and more

Our report writers will work with you to understand the reporting requirements set by the organisation and donor(s), and use a pre-approved template where relevant. They will develop and submit a report outline noting sections and sub-sections and any information to be verified. Once an outline has been approved, the writers will work section by section to draft a report narrative with the information available and reach out for additional information to relevant points of contact (POCs). A draft report will be submitted for review, and all feedback and any additional inputs will be incorporated accordingly. Visual elements such as graphs and charts, tables, infographics, images, testimonials, and others will be incorporated. The report writers will perform basic formatting in accordance with the pre-approved template and style guide. A report will be considered final upon approval by relevant POCs.

We recommend to have the document edited, proofread and designed by our professionals prior to publishing. Learn more here

If you have an already written report or another publication, and would like to have it reviewed for accuracy with regard to technical, thematic, or regional aspects, our report writers and technical experts will provide a thorough review and feedback. The documents can also be revised and adapted as necessary.

Development and adaptation of reporting templates, guidelines, checklists, and other resources

To help you and your team improve report writing, our specialists will work to develop relevant reporting resources that are specific to your project or programme, team or department, or the organisation as a whole. Existing resources can also be adapted to your team’s or organisation’s needs, as well as in line with any thematic and/or regional specificities.

Our reporting specialists will design and deliver a tailored training to your team in alignment with your organisation’s and donor requirements. The training can take place online or in-person, or hybrid. Our specialists will develop a training agenda, presentation, pre- and post-training assessment questionnaires (if applicable), feedback forms and participant lists, and any training han materials.
