Report writing is a vital skill for development professionals, enabling them to communicate insights, document progress, and advocate for their goals effectively. It plays a crucial role in fostering transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making within the development sector. Various types of reports, such as needs assessments, impact assessments, funding proposals and others, are integral to development work, each serving a unique purpose in advancing organisational goals.

​

In this workshop, we employ a hands-on approach to teach professionals the basics of researching, structuring and writing a formal report. We also discuss the pitfalls of report writing, how to overcome them and give practical tips that will help professionals inculcate best practices into their writing process.
