- Guide to working with policymakers Tools
- Most funders will ask you to tell them how you have evaluated your public engagement work – and it can sometimes feel like an unwelcome add-on. However, used correctly, evaluation is a valuable tool that enables you to learn from your experiences and to assess the impact of your project. Evaluation is a process of collecting evidence and reflection that will help you understand the dynamics and effect of your work, and help you with your next public engagement project. This is part of the DRUSSA Learning Resource.
