Ways to evaluate your impact assessment | Pros | Cons | 1. Each step in your impact approach (i.e. systematically going through each phase) | | Rigid process Might take more time

Was it effective? What would you change or improve in future? Dissemination of the findings. How widely your findings were shared? Were there limitations in sharing the results? What could have been improved? Using the findings. How have your findings been used? What barriers have there been to change? Impact. Have the findings led to the desired impact?
