Question

Outline a plan to ensure that the data collected during the monitoring and evaluation are accurate. In your response explain how you see the following as significant and describe the role they play in the evaluation process:

1. staff
2. site
3. systems
4. analysis

Answer 1

monitoring and evaluation : it helps to assess the data collection and verify its track and results

• identify goal and objectives
• define indicatiors
• define data collection methods and timeline
• identify Monitoring and Evaulation roles and responsibilities
• creating an analysis form and reporting template
• dissimination and donor reporting

data quality is data become quality when it turns suffcient,accurate,reliable,valid and accepable. when it has not certain criteria, it becomes poor quality.

there are certain criteria which helps to ensure data which was collected during the monitoring and evaluation are accurate. They are valid, accurate,complete, acceptable,beneficial. validity of a tool used for data collection should be valid. and it helps to measure hat it intends to measure.reliabilityis that the data which is collected, will show similar results when it splits into half sheet. complete is that when data becomes complete, it shows good quality. beneficial is that hen data is collected should be useful and what is intended to measure. data that is collected, should be accepted by all , the it becomes acceptable one and it is good qualiy data.

evaluation process: staff are used as tool for data collection and at the end of data collection and data are verified using quality tool. there by performanace of employess are assessed and review their progress of performance. analysis is process in the evaluation that helps to understand and intrepret the graphs or fiqure. system in evaluation process is measuring the final sytem to the starting goals and ongoing test and assess whether system continues to meet these goals. site that has been used for  data collection is assesed in evaluation process

steps involved for testing significance of sample, system, analysis, site by means of statisticalanalysis. steps are research hypotheses, null hypotheses, select a probability of error an dselect and compute test for statistical significance and finally intrepreting results
