Issue on cultural skills is very important. If one fails to consider culture in data collection, inaccurate data might collected.
THE M&E PROFESSIONAL MUST BE WELL TRAINED AND KNOW WHAT TO COLLECT SO AS TO BE COMPETENCE
Thank God for the skills development programs, orientations and technical assistance activities. People are able to learn how to use new tools that may help produce results in an efficient manner.
It is also important to take courses that help become better in M&E.
At this stage you must ensure that you have the cultural and technical skills to carry out the M&E processes. Skills can be technical as well as cultural. Technical skills allow you to use tools and processes correctly. Examples include: Mapping stakeholder needs, Storing data securely, Designing surveys
Cultural skills allow you to work in safe, culturally-appropriate ways with people. Examples include: Language ability, Understanding of local gender dynamics, Understanding local attitudes towards privacy
COMPETENCE is the expert knowledge in a field of interest. Expertise in a project is essential for quality & succesful deliverables of project objectives
Competence refers to your ability to do something. In Monitoring and Evaluation it is unethical to get involved in a project you have no ability or small capacity to conduct. What should you do?
well, one thing that captured me on the competence ethical principle is the second last point that I should ensure , that I decline to run the M&E process, I think the best way is to ensure that I get support by being equipped with all necessary resources to support the carrying out process by ensuring the team and have the skills to use tools and run out the process, unless otherwise there is mechanism to supported
Competence means to have required skills to do a certain task. It should be both technical and cultural aspects. If you are not competent, you may decline to do that task or put out your weakness. Inorder to be more competency, you may get courses on areas of your weakness.
Congratulations.
In case there is no chance for capacity building you may decline to do the task. If it is not possible, you have explain clearly your weakness.
Yes it is.
The principle of competence states that you should only use tools or processes when you are confident that you have the skills (both cultural and technical) to use them competently.
this module on ethical principles is very educative that will improved my technical skills.
The competence principle states that one should use tools or processes only when it is certain that one has the skills (both cultural and technical) to use them competently.
The course think can further ellaborate on dealing with challanging donors when it comes to competence.

Competence methods are ensure that you have the cultural and technical skills to carry out M&E processes, decline to run M&E processes that you are not equipped to do well, continually improve your skills (for example, by taking this course).
cultural skills is the new one for me here. I have never thought about this. This makes a lot of sense especially in heterogeneous societies. It makes sense to draft people who have cultural competence in certain areas to do some M&E jobs.
competence is very key in m&e. this is actually where stakeholder partnerships become very cardinal, to share resources or even combine them for project success...
very true. there is a always something new to learn about a new project and target area, and the ditferent technical and cultural skills you may need to reach your outcome...
Understanding the cultural context of your study area is essential
very true

Competence; make sure you have the right technical and cultural skills to perform m&e process, if not avoid them completely and stick to what you know, or start and continue building your m&e technical and cultural capacity...
Do no harm, honesty and competence
In order to build a standard competence, is it important to challenge one self to learning new things. Skilled professionalism is important when carrying out Monitoring and Evaluation processes because of its technicality.
Therefore, it is good to continually improve one's skills.
Cultural skill is something new to me, and this must be involved in the M&E process. Having obtained new insights from Module 1 leads me to an assumption that M&E activity is a complex activity which is not simply about getting data, store it, process it, and present it for specific purposes. Inside of it, there is much to pay attention to ensure that the M&E process is competent, honest, and reliable.
Well this is meanly about who's going to do what. is this person or are these people the right group to do this? Very important, Competence!
Always show competency in collecting data and analyzing . Technical and cultural skills allow you to use tools and processes correctly.
Skill development and continuing education is vital to ensuring your team has the technical skills to understand and execute M&E processes. This is becoming increasingly difficult to do as funding for training and development is often first to do when budgets are cut.
competence is a vital principle in Ethics and M&E because helps to provide skilled and professional services also competence improve confidence which will result in obtaining accurate data.
Also ensure that we have both cultural skills and technical skills
Cultural and technical skills are very important attributes that M&E teams should possess in order to have a hold on their projects/areas of intervention
Cultural skills is very important. A research about the area where data is to be collected is very important. Another way of doing this is by consulting the authorities of that area and given ask for an approval from them.

Ensure that you have the cultural and technical skills to carry out M&E processes.
You should decline carrying out M& E processes that you're not equipped to do.
If you and your team carry out M&E processes without the required technical or cultural skills, you might unintentionally cause harm or present data that does not live up to the honesty principle
Nowadays the reasearch world is flooded with a few incompetent practitioners whose main agenda is 'money making'. This is quite unfortunate because research is about peoples lives and livelihoods. I am happy that Philanthropy University highlighted the importance of having a competent team.
Very difficult one to decline running an M&E especially when working for an NGO. Very good advice gained here to always make limitations for collection of data known to all stakeholders. That way tranparency and honesty is not compromised.
Competence is what will make our data reliable for effective decision making.
Competence is what will make our data reliable for effective decision making.
Competence must be deal with realistic and honesty. We can always improve our skills where a we needed
Competence principle shows that one should only go ahead with data collection of he or she understands what is doing
competence is to only use tools and process when you are confident that you have the skills both technical and cultural
It is important to haves skilled workers to produce good results. With unskilled workers it might affect the quality of your results. Technical and cultural skills are also important.
Tools for data collection is very crucial to enable the timely collection of data is done. I am wondering if there are any courses which would equip us with required skills for using the complex tools.
This simply means we need to provide skilled professional services having technical and cultural skills to carry out the processes
Competency,in every work you most provide skilled professional services
investing in capacity building trainings and courses for the M&E teams and other involved associates is very key. This for me is a very interesting take away point, 'you should only use tools or processes when you are confident that you have the skills (both cultural and technical) to use them competently.'
very true... This is why for me, this is a very key take away from this facet, 'you should only use tools or processes when you are confident that you have the skills (both cultural and technical) to use them competently.'
Being competent in the field of M & E is very important. There is no way that one can perform any M & E task without being competent in the first place. There is a need to continue to carry out self improvement programs to keep up with tools and processes for conducting an M & E in the field or for a project. In this way, your services will always be needed by the sponsor organization(s).
Improving competence of not just you but your whole M and E unit supports quality delivery of your work
Competence states that it is about the confidence in using tools or processes that you have skills to use and be able to understand and have knowledge on how they are used or operated.
"Continually improve your team’s confidence by investing in learning" strongly agree
Principle number three competence provide skilled professional services.
Ensure that you have cultural and technical skills to carry out m and e processes.
There is a need to learn new tools and be familiar with it before adopting it. Not every toll that works for other may work for you as well. We need a thorough assessment to find out the ideal tool to use before picking any tool on the way. Also, as the technology is developing, we need to develop ourselves to move along with the technology.
Learning new skills and improving old ones is a welcomed professional development practice in all professional fields. However, the principle of competence must guide what we must and must not do both culturally and technically.
But for field study purpose, there are some uncertain things of which one can not be concerned beforehand! For those kind of situations, I think the coordinating team should be efficient enough.
Competence defines how we use our designed tools and skills to implement. It is therefore defined that failure might occur if strategies aren't put right. Therefore there is need of understanding and decline that which can lead to under achieving.
Competence is one of the best method to maintain the data quality. We should provide skilled professional service.
We also abstained from un skillful data analysis process.
Competence means that the Team must ensure that they have the cultural and technical skills to carry out M&E processes.
However, the principle of competence states that you should only use tools or processes when you are confident that you have the skills (both cultural and technical) to use them competently.
If you and your team carry out M&E processes without the required technical or cultural skills, you might unintentionally cause harm or present data that does not live up to the honesty principle.
Let's ensure that we have technical and cultural skills before we get engaged in the M&E processes
Yes. I agree all above.
I think being competent is a virtue that guides you to provide truthful information as possible. We shall not take shortcuts to reach the target and bringing out water porous information
Provide skilled professional services. In cases where you aren't sure of your teams ability to provide the required technical and cultural skills, the best option would be to decline the M&E process in question.
Be genuine with your skill set
How can one declined in implementing of modified M&E tool when one isn't trained on how to use it? because a times, being a junior staff, one might just be instructed to conduct within a set time limit.
It is important you carry out the M&E process that you and your team have enough competence and if not improve your knowledge or skill in such
The competency, “knowledge of and practices with data analysis” involves the process of applying statistical and graphical techniques to data in order to discover useful information.
1- Apply statistical skills to data sets using the right tools
2- Use an adequate data analysis software
3-knowledge how to read and create charts and graphs
Learning is a continuous process. Thank God with technology (google & youtube) we can learn, practice and understand these data tools free of charge in our homes.
In my view and for the purpose of generating quality result, we should keep on exploring and having significant discussions with colleagues and those with good command.
One of way of building up competence is by working with more experienced people from whom we can learn and pick up good practices.
To ensure competence in your team, they have both technical and cultural skills about local people where the project will be contacted. The team should understand local cultural norms of people around to avoid things like language barrier. This helps in preventing any unintentional harm and data which is not honesty. Don't accept to run project that you don't understand local cultural norms of people around.
I need the note to read.
To provide the necessary data to guide strategic planning, to design and implement program and project to allocate and relocate resources in better way
Importance of technical and cultural skills is emphasised as these could be barriers to the M&E processes for data collection.
So true cultural skills have been ignored in the past because of assumptions.
If an incompetent person works on one of these processes, it is likely that the data produced may have no meaning. Therefore, it cannot be used for making decisions.
Competent team members ensure smooth running of activities and avoid unnecessary errors that may occur due to their high skill levels in the work they do. Skills as seen so far can be technical i.e in the work you do and cultural which is how you relate with the people you are engaging with
Competence of each m and e team should be checked before they are allowed into the project
competence and being skilled enough on M&E is vital as experience is needed a lot
Invest in your team, make sure they keep learning and growing..
From the discussion above about the three principles how best can one encooperate the three into one and adapt them in an organization
Competence is key to achieving success in anything we do, including M&E and we must ensure that our team are competent enough to carry out the processes involved in M&E, train them regularly.
Excellent, in this part I said the team must be competent. I will give you an example, when I worked as an analyst in this research firm, there were surveys that were done in the capital through cellphones, that is to say digitized but, when there is a project in the provinces, there we harvest more with paper forms given their incompetence to use laptops that does not allow them to properly collect data on the ground.
I thought that a company which is chosen to carry out the investigations, must be really equipped, to also see the quality and the competence of these investigators in the field. It will allow them to reach the quotas and the ease of investigating
competence, and monitoring the quality of data that sets you apart from competitors
The COMPTENCE is without any doubt a must-have for the set of ethical principles because this one is technically critical and fundamental to deal correctly with the M&E process.
The COMPTENCE is without any doubt a must-have for the set of ethical principles because this one is technically critical and fundamental to deal correctly with the M&E process.
The principle of competence cannot be over-emphasized. Organizations need M&E personnel that is qualified for the position. This will help when there has to be research assistants hired for data collection. These will be trained by the M&E personnel on how to conduct data collection. This will ensure that data collected is as accurately as possible and will save the organization resources of hiring an extensive trainer who might be very expensive. For instance, cultural competence is crucial when collecting information on KPs, as enumerators explain the questions to them they need to know the language that is not offensive to KPs; one wrong word and we have lost them. Research skills and competence is a must!
Highly recommended
Competence of an M&E team must be sound enough to ensure that beneficiaries don't suffer harm and honesty guaranteed. Competent person can be sourced outside the permanent organization/project staff.
its no shame to decline doing something that you lack skills for
