2. To begin, what do we mean by
dissemination strategy?
• Driven by a clear goal: what behavior are you trying
to change?
• Focus on specific audience(s) – could be external
and internal
• Commitment of staff and other resources over time
• Various formats tailored to audience needs
3. Let’s think about other FSD
dissemination
• What is the goal of FinScope/FinAcess/A2F dissemination?
– Whose behavior are you trying to change?
– What do you want them to do with the raw data, survey
reports, follow-on publications?
• How does dissemination change?

stakeholders?
• Can your current staff implement the GIS
dissemination plan you’ve designed?
