Data Flow Maps and Evaluation Types

The HOP team is designing a data flow map to track immunization rates. They realize that one data collection form can inform multiple reports. What is the primary benefit of identifying this overlap?

• Reduces the need for monitoring and evaluation

• Simplifies data collection and reporting processes

• Improves accuracy of collected data

• Allows them to bypass donor requirements

The YEI team has identified a need to adjust their PMP after reviewing the data flow map. What is the best course of action?

• Avoid making changes to the PMP to ensure consistency

• Update the PMP to reflect new reporting and data collection needs

• Disregard the data flow map and continue with the original plan

• Develop a new project entirely

The FSP team needs to evaluate whether their data flow map ensures data accuracy and timely reporting. Which of the following should they review?

• The project budget

• The alignment of indicators with reports

• The qualifications of field staff

• The project’s risk management plan

The LDP team is conducting an evaluation to determine how well their project has been implemented. Which evaluation type would be most appropriate?

• Impact evaluation

• Process evaluation

• Summative evaluation

• Ex-post evaluation

The Delta River IDP team wants to assess the long-term sustainability of their project three years after it ended. Which evaluation type should they use?

• Formative evaluation

• Meta evaluation

• Ex-post evaluation

• Summative evaluation

The M&E team is reviewing their data collection methods to enhance efficiency. What should be their primary focus?

• Increasing the number of data collectors

• Streamlining data entry processes

• Reducing the frequency of data collection

• Implementing new software tools

The R&D team has discovered discrepancies in their data reporting. What is the first step they should take to address this issue?

• Ignore the discrepancies and proceed

• Conduct a thorough audit of the data

• Update the reporting templates

• Train staff on data reporting standards

The evaluation team is tasked with assessing the effectiveness of a new intervention. Which type of evaluation would be most suitable for this purpose?

• Process evaluation

• Impact evaluation

• Formative evaluation

• Summative evaluation
