  41. Problem overview Describe problem and why it’s important (use data when available) Specify affected populations Program/ activity Outline steps taken to implement program Identify who, what, when, and where Link to funding source Documentation of outcomes Clearly describe outcomes of program and associated impact Provide context for why impact is important Provides conclusion that effectively wraps up the story Components of a Compelling Success Story
