REPORT WRITING

Home REPORT WRITING

Report writing is an essential part of any business. It is also a necessary task of senior officials. Most managers and officers of humanitarian organizations regularly do write various types of reports. Report writing can be challenging, time-consuming if its purpose, process and audience are not clearly understood from the beginning. Poorly crafted and presented reports risk falling short of its purpose. Reports must analyze and present facts clearly, draw consistent conclusions, and make sensible and practical recommendations. A well- presented and drafted report with clear and specific recommendations help the author gain respect and possibly promotion from his or her employer.
