This topic has really answered a lot of questions on my mind. I usually feel that many tools do not answer or include enough data for analysis, now I know I create my tool and add the most important information to it and add other necessary ones that reflects my indicator, Thank you
Exactly, not all method is a great fix for all types of Data, knowing this is solving at least 20% of data analysis problems
In creating a tool, ensure the import and necessary information is collected. those crucial to the analysis
This module has been very instructive for me. I use survey forms and interviews to collect data from beneficiaries of my project
this is actually the most clear module of this course, it was easier to understand
Teams must test the form ahead and at a right time to avoid both missing and confusing data and self-imagination, to track the false data hidden in the data, to recognize the missing data, to catch errors hidden within data, to track if there is enough space for recordind needed data.
I think that creating data collection tools requires a vision, not only written tools. Every information you have to find must take in consideration the disaggragation of the indicators
Very good interest cours and discussion
Data collection tools should be decided after both disadvantages and advantages as been weighed well.
Understanding and defining the goals of the project is an important step in creating the right data collection tool.
Understanding and defining the goals of the project is an important step in creating the right data collection tool.
all the essential steps must be followed to create good quality data collection tools
it is really very important
super, i agree with this
Yes it is important to test the forms before deploying
How do you made your participants tracking form?
It's very crucial to choose the right data collection tool for your indicators.

Data collection is an extensive process of collecting information to make direct observations and answer open-ended questions.
Businesses use data collection to gain real-time insights into a particular issue or workflow process. Research conducted through data collection and analysis enables stakeholders to make more informed decisions that improve overall business performance.
knowing data collection tools enable one ease the data collection process since they are trained on how to use the tool, tested its efficacy and is easy to use for the one implementing the process.
Tools should be carefully made to avoid collecting wrong data
Make sure that the tool is not ambigous
Is it possible to use tape in record to general a data
Data collection tools are important in collecting data in project and monitoring and evaluation. There are various data collection tolls and these depend on the indicators of the project. It is important to use the fewest possible tools because it is easier to handle and so reducing the risks of invalid data. The tools to be used depend on the indicators of the project and different indicators can use the same data collection tool. For the tools to be effective, the staff or people to use the tools need to be trained on how to use the selected tools despite the assumptions that they may already know how to use the tools. While selecting the data collection tools to use, it is important to consider some issues like; identifying who will use the tool, focusing on the important or essential information, collecting metadata and pre-testing the tool.
its really important to test the form and take the opinion of your team members about it
For each indicator, a participate tracking form can be created. So it is possible to have numerous participate tracking forms for single project.
Should a M&E officer be proficient in statistical analysis?
Before creating a data management tool, one must be in the clear understanding of what kind of data should be collected.
Modes of data collection tools are also important for some specific areas. For example, a M&E specialist nowadays try to use the online mode for data collection which is moderately possible for the city, but not remote areas where do not have internet connection stable or accessible as well as people with know-how.
Deciding which data collection tools to use before the project starts is very important as you might miss valuable opportunities to gather data from the onset if data gathering only starts when the main activities of the project are being implemented.
It is important to note that there is a vast body of knowledge out there. The possibility that ones project has ever been implemented somewhere on the face of the earth is there. It is always a great practice to do a formative research of your project; learnt from those that have done it before. Reinvent the wheel where need be. This will save you time and other resources than when one may start from ground zero.
Very helpful module
Very helpful module
The module no 4 is very interesting module • because in learn how to create Participant Tracking form,• Data collection tools, • Choose data collection methods for all of your indicators, • Data collection methods are the processes for collecting data etc.
exactly because if don't know your goal don't expect to get the result because u don't have direction
your right because if don't know the type of data that you collect no way that you will create any tools or form
The kind of data that will be collected will determine the kind of tool to be use for the data collection
Really Happy for the lessons. they are important tools that can improve level in Project Management/
thanks for this TRAINNING
Before creating a data collection tool
Situation whereby field officers discover some little short come in one of the tool, what actions would be taken?
What is the tool most used for Data Collection.?
Data collection tools should be decided after both disadvantages and advantages as been weighed well.

To create data collection tools it need a collaboration amongst program implementers and the M&E staff to ensure they are inline with the target or the change that the project aims at achieving.
To help the organization communicate and work together towards common objectives.
• To ensure that valuable data is properly collected, stored and used.
• To organize the many roles and responsibilities that M&E requires.
is it good to have data collection tool in another language and electronic database capturing the same data in another language ?
Most are based around a core set of basic tools. These include interviews, focus group discussions, observation, photography, video, surveys, questionnaires and case studies. Data may also be generated through direct measurement, reviewing secondary data, and informal project / programme management processes.
It is important to decide the tools for data collection because research is carried out in different ways and for different purposes.
is quite important as it help in collecting reliable data in making M &E Plan successful
data collection tools enable one gather just as much information needed to make the necessary actions.
Data collection and analysis tools are defined as a series of charts, maps, and diagrams designed to collect, interpret, and present data for a wide range of applications and industries.
Case Studies, Checklists, Interviews, Observation sometimes, and Surveys or Questionnaires are all tools used to collect data
QUI A BIEN COMPRIS COMME MOI SUR LES 6 ETAPES AVANT DE CRÉER VOTRE FORMULAIRE?
MERCI BEAUCOUP AU FORMATEUR C4EST INTÉRESSANT CE MODULE
Please guys, who have experience in developing data collection tools? Let's share practices
I'm now designing my data collecting form which I will track with to see how many projects participants have received capital to start cooperatives.
very good we create based on the variables defined
Developing a participant tarcking form is improtant because it can also help you monitor if the right participant are being reached with the program. Again piloting the tool is important to validate the tool.
It's a useful course
I'm now designing my data collecting form which I will track with to see how many projects participants have received capital to start cooperatives.
The participant tracing form is a great documents that is used to record the participants details.
example we have to record the name,age,level of education of the participants.
data collection tools are participant tracking form completed daily by field officers, participant survey conducted monthly by the M&E team and a review of the local government’s data on business registration also conducted monthly by the M&E team
In creating a tool, ensure the import and necessary information is collected. those crucial to the analysis
Data collection tools refer to the devices/instruments used to collect data, such as a paper questionnaire or computer-assisted interviewing system: There are a number of data colletion tools. The best and most appropriate tool depends on
The information you want to collect
Data collection method
The user of the tool
Indeed. That should be the first step in deciding what type of tool to use.
This was a very helpful module, as I have been supporting projects to prepare tools for years. I feel much better equipped now and it was good to learn about the importance of each tool and the risks.
Creating data began with or after getting your targed.
First you have to answer the following question:
1-what do you want to recognize ?
2- what time it is possible to do that jop or project?
The module was well explained
Take in account who is to use the tool
This is a critical and important part of the M&E unit as data collection determines how the indicators would be measured.
Very important step in monitoring and evaluation of projects
Thank you

Some of the ideas given below have been borrowed from Moriarty (2002, p. 36). Others are currently proving to be effective methods in museums in the East of England. They all demonstrate that evaluation can be a fun and creative process. These methods should stimulate discussion, with most requiring some interaction between staff and visitors, because the outcomes from any such dialogue would need to be noted down by someone facilitating the discussion. Only one method (the graffiti wall) is a stand-alone method (i.e. it does not require a member of staff on hand to facilitate it).

Importance of data collection tool
1 streamlining the research process.
I am interested in guidelines and best practices for creating surveys. For example, for my project there will be a pre/post-surveys to gather information on knowledge gained and perspectives on a topic. However, deciding how many questions to include is tricky. Too many will likely result in students skipping questions and too few will limit our ability to evaluate the project. Also, I would like this to be an anonymous survey but we would need to be able to link the pre- and post-surveys to see changes in participants' responses. I'm considering assigning each student a number, but I wonder if there are better strategies.
Creating a Data Flow Chart helps to identify the roles and responsibilities of the different stakeholders. I found it useful to visual the different steps of data management over the life cycle of a project. Using this chart will also be important for creating the project timeline because it shows the different stages of data management (collection, entry, quality review, analysis).

When creating data collection tools , M & E should consider important points for the participants such as the name , village where they reside, their age for effective record management.
Sometimes it is possible to use a data collection tool that has already been created. If you are measuring an indicator that other projects have already used, it is worth investigating whether an appropriate tool already exists. Using a pre-existing tool can save a lot of time and resources, and can ensure that the tool you use is high quality.
Very well explained topic. I was thinking that data via survey should be collected only by professionals (elaboration of questionnaires, data analysis etc.) but understand, that some data could be collected by the project staff or trained helpers.

Creating data collection tool is essential to M&E. It help you gather information to measure indicators, help project team make relevant decision looking at the data collected, and help project staff adjust/redesign their implementation strategies.
Data collection tools are essential in any given M&E plan to effectively create workable guides that help individuals gather credible data.
This is the practical guide in the process. It helps to capture both quantitative and qualitative metrics of the M&E exercise. It also aids in generating feedback on how effective the exercise has been.

creating data collection tools is an important part of making a success of your project. If the data collection tool does not measure the indicators of your project, it is likely that your project will not succeed.
Data can be collected through tools such as interviews, observation, surveys, etc.
Therefore one needs to;
• Identify goals and performers.
• Create Investigative questions.
• Develop a data collection Plan.
• Then create the data collection tools
