The purpose of this article is to offer both theoretical and practical support to evaluation professionals preparing to facilitate the utilization phase of evaluation with a program or organization team. The Systems Evaluation Protocol for Participatory Data Use (SEPPDU) presented here is rooted in a partnership approach to evaluation and is therefore designed as a way to structure conversations and facilitate thinking around data interpretation and decision making. The SEPPDU is presented in three main parts: (1) summarizing evaluation results, (2) interpreting results, and (3) planning for action. This article describes specific and practical tips for the facilitation of each part based on field experience in a variety of settings.
