The financial or intellectual interests of the program employees may conflict with the M&E if the M&E is carried out internally by program staff. There is a possibility of conflicts of interest in the case of external evaluations as well, either in the form of monetary stakes with the funding agency or other intellectual interests of the external evaluators. The M&E manager's judgment may be affected by these conflicts of interest. As a result, the outcomes could become suspect.

    Some of the ways to ensure that your M&E team is abiding to the honesty principle can be seen as follows;
    Ensuring that the findings from your M&E are accurately represented. This means that you should not present data that you know is inaccurate. However, it also means that you will need to to constantly check the accuracy of your data.
    Furthermore, ensuring that the findings from your M&E are accurately represented. This implies that the M&E team presents conclusions that are strongly worded and simply accurate.
    Sharing the limitations of the M&E strategies is yet the other way to ensure that your M&E team is abiding to the honesty principle. This implies that the M&E team will not be able to collect perfect, absolutely complete data. Nor will you be able to state conclusions with complete certainty. Hence be honest about these limitations with donors, beneficiaries, or any one who might be interested in your work, ideally share these limitations before your project starts, so that people do not develop unrealistic expectations.
    Share any areas where you might have a personal or professional interest in a certain outcome. This implies that you or your organization may gain something useful if a certain outcome is reached.

  • generally, honesty is a great virtue and should always be implemented throughout a project. as we go on about our project we should ensure honesty as much as possible. do not lie about the project goal, do not lie or twist the truth to your benefit, and do not lie to the donors. most important of all never lie about the outcome of your project.

  • Honesty is really one key factor in collecting and using data!

  • The data collected should be cleared and answer the research questions (while the research questions themselves should also cover the purpose of the research or evaluation). Vague questions will lead to poor data being collected.

  • Honesty is essential in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) because it ensures that data is accurate and reflects the true state of the program or intervention being evaluated. Honesty involves being truthful and transparent about the data that is collected and reported, including any limitations or uncertainties associated with the data.

    In M&E, honesty is important for several reasons. First, it helps to build trust between the program or intervention being evaluated and stakeholders, including funders, partners, and beneficiaries. When stakeholders know that the data they are receiving is accurate and reliable, they are more likely to support the program or intervention.

    Second, honesty is important for ensuring that programs and interventions are effective. If data is manipulated or misrepresented, it can lead to incorrect conclusions about the effectiveness of the program or intervention. This can result in resources being allocated to ineffective programs or interventions, which can be detrimental to beneficiaries and stakeholders.

    Finally, honesty is important for accountability. M&E is used to hold programs and interventions accountable for their performance and to identify areas for improvement. If data is not honest or accurate, it can make it difficult to identify areas for improvement and to hold programs and interventions accountable for their performance.

    In summary, honesty is a crucial element of M&E. It ensures that data is accurate and reliable, builds trust with stakeholders, promotes effective programs and interventions, and supports accountability.

  • M&E guys should prove themselves honest to their organization by providing continuously accurate and valid data from the intervention's process monitoring and collecting data on outcome indicators, as the management mostly makes decision based on the collected and disseminated data by M&E, therefore the facts and reality should be included in the M&E data and report and do not be ignored.

  • If my organization has collected and analysed data with a conclusion that is against a certain firm which is not the sponsor of the research. Would it be advisable to present the research to them first before presenting it to the public? I think it is better to present it to the public first for if it is presented to the firm first it would:

    • Bring about undue pressure on my organisation to alter data or conclusion in favour of the firm.

    • It would interfere with the impact of the research especially when the firm goes on a charm offensive before you release it to the public.
      Do advice on this aspect.

  • Honesty forms the foundation of M&E work. It ensures accurate and reliable data, fosters transparency and trust, upholds ethical standards, and facilitates learning and improvement. By prioritising honesty in M&E practices, we strengthen the integrity of evaluations, enhance decision-making processes, and ultimately contribute to more effective and ethical outcomes. Problem for me is when there is a translation involved where the language barrier can influence or affect the honesty of the data collection.

  • A conflict of interest happens when you or your organization might gain something useful if a certain outcome is reached.

  • It is very important to have integrity and focus on building a long lasting relation based on honesty even when it seems not being honest might seem beneficial.

  • Honesty is very crucial at all times, especial when dealing with data.
