new audiences and those who don’t have time to read a 30-page report
• Creates new opportunities to interact with different audiences
• And more...

DFID 1.4.40 approach
“We have found the “1.4.40 approach” to be effective and useful...involves producing a package or portfolio of products: - a one page of key messages- a four page executive summary - a report of no more than 40 pages presenting your findings.”
2011: Timing + other people

Aim for:- A single page of four key messages? - Ideas to package that research to engage key audiences?
