Step 5.3 – Use your findings
The findings of your evaluation can help others learn and can be used to guide your next steps.
Share your experiences
Evaluation lets you celebrate your successes and share your findings, but don’t be shy about identifying things that didn’t go so well too – others can learn from these experiences.
Plan your next move
Use the evaluation’s findings to regroup and move on to the next cycle of engagement, planning, and implementation.
The journey to becoming age friendly never really ends, as there will always be new cohorts of older people, new ideas and ways of doing things.
Evaluation is about monitoring the changing needs in our communities, thinking about the opportunities and challenges those needs bring, and planning to put ideas into action.
