A Guide On How To Successfully Present Your Social Impact

Imagine this- you have worked on and completed your dream social impact project. It is now time to present the steps you have taken, and the outcome of your project.  But your report is not able to capture the essence of your project efficiently. 

A well-documented project report is a quintessential part of your social impact journey. It highlights your effort, showcases your success, and serves as tangible evidence of your work. Read ahead to know the proper flow of a project report presentation and some tips on how to make your presentation stand out.

STEP 1 – Interesting Template

Pick a template that goes with the theme of your project and be consistent with it. It is best to avoid very bold colours and overcrowd the slides with information.

STEP 2 – List the Contents

An index not only helps the reader to navigate easily through your report, but also makes your report more cohesive.

STEP 3 – Summarize

Always add a summary that provides a glimpse of what is about to be explained.

STEP 4 – State the Problem

Start the presentation with what the problem is, and why you would like to work on it.

STEP 5 – Solutions

List the possible solutions to the problem at hand, and brief on their viability

STEP 6 – Project Scope

Introduce your approach to solving the problem and discuss its scope

STEP 7 – Introduce the Stakeholders

Add the details of the population you would like to work with, the individuals/ organization you are to collaborate with, and the team members if you are working as a team.

STEP 8 – Implementation

Elaborate the steps you took to make the project a reality.

STEP 9 – Flaunt that Impact! 

Clearly list down all the data related to impact or the feedback from the beneficiaries that you have received as a part of the project. 

STEP 10 – Observations and Reflections

Add a personal touch to your presentation by adding the observations you have made, and the things you have learned throughout the process.

STEP 11 – State your Struggles

Don’t shy away from sharing the obstacles you faced. Remember to add how you overcame them!

STEP 12 – Add images & graphics

Most times, graphics and infographics convey information more efficiently than text does

STEP 13 – Evidence 

Add evidence to support your work. This can include images from the field, screenshots of online programs, content used in sessions, or pictures related to the impact you made.

STEP 14 – Conclusion

Finish with a conclusion that sums up the essence of your work
