  • Communicating accurate findings help in devising the appropriate strategies in solving a problem. when findings are communicated accurately with its associated limitations, it helps build further research to build on limitations and strengthen existing strategies put in place to solve the problem.

  • Well understood

  • Yeah it means when we collect a data in any field we should not change its result we must be honest and show the exact result

  • Honesty implies to the collection, use and presenting of your data accurately. This therefore, implies to being clear about how your M&E processes work and being honest about any limitations to your work. Hence data from M&E processes is expected on the other hand to be as close as possible to the pure truth.
    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.

  • This is M&E concern that we refer as Ethical principles that require that all finding must be shared
    and all data represented must be accurate and clear

  • 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.

  • honesty is very important for every thing.

  • Honesty principles in practices means data needs to be transparently collated, managed, analyzed and presented. This is applicable to each and every part of the processes mentioned and most importantly reports should be honestly presented.

  • it is important for ME specialists to avoid preconceived judgments based on their colleagues' or boss assumptions or suggestions simply to please them. Honesty and unbiased decisions are the keys to success.

  • Honesty in M&E will have integrity on your data and the report thereafter. It is better to present the real outcomes of the data than manipulate it to fit individual bias or appeasement policy

  • It is always good to be honest when planning for M&E, when implementing projects and when reporting. Lies are always inconsistent and they lead to donor flight, wrong policy directions and they also foster incompetence.

  • It is a very relevant point. To be honest it is always good because is related to your integrity, and manipulating the data scenario can impact negatively the decision.

  • Honesty is very necessary especially in field of data management, not being honest with your data's usually has a comeback effects that is not always pleasant to the recieving end. It could tarnish ones image and degrade one to the full

  • Honest data use goes far beyond simply publishing knowingly inaccurate data; it is really important to represent data in such a way that your audience will not misunderstand your findings. If you unintentionally make a claim that your data cannot support, this could still be considered dishonest, regardless of your intentions.

  • Honesty is one of the essential principles of ethical behavior, yes there is need to share limitations of your M&E strategies to the interested parties or stakeholders and preferably at the beginning of the project so that people do not develop unrealistic expectations about the project.

  • Honesty is about principles and values that everyone does not born with it but leans during life. So, by walking with those principles you will avoid being dishonest wherever you are, mainly on important services like data management because can impact negatively the decisions!

  • 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.

  • Honesty is very important, and I agree that your data collection's limitations and challenges should be informed or presented. Some projects, example 100% condom used project, may not be able to collect the actual usage of condoms from the direct beneficiaries due to different cultures. However, the data can be collected from those who sell or distribute condoms at the shop or public. In this case, the data presentation might be accurate, but if the limitation is mentioned, the readers/audience will understand the represented data and results.

  • The idea that I found most interesting and had not initially thought of is the need to disclose relationships and potential conflicts of interest with your studies. While I knew that it is unethical to outright lie in your data to support a desired conclusion, such as the example of the pharmaceutical company and lying about the outcomes of the test. However, I had not considered the need to disclose a potential conflict of interest even when the data presented is 100% accurate. I now understand the need to disclose potential conflicts of interest, as hiding them from the public is still an unethical practice. Additionally, I thought the need to ensure that your conclusions are accurately reflected by your data. When presented with data such as that in the example given, it can be easy to see how someone might misinterpreted the data and give an inaccurate conclusion such as counseling programs help lower adolescent pregnancy rates. That is why it is important to consider what your data actually shows, in this case a correlation between the two. Correlation does not equate to causation.

  • It is crucial to ensure data consistency before any presentation and to be well-informed about the process of data collection, transformation, and usage.

  • Honesty is very needed in how we get and present actual data that also influence the quality and information we convey to other relevant parties.

  • There is indeed often a conflict of interest regarding being honest when dealing with program data. This is often so, when M&E is constantly pressured by implementing teams or programs teams that are constantly needing to achieve or are trying to show that they have achieved the project goals.
    It then is important to ensure that honesty of paramount importance when presenting data, more especially while working a project team that is abscessed with results either by hook or crook. As M&E, we really ought to give the proper directions so that ethics are adhered to and enlighten teams on how biased and dishonest data could potentially affect or harm the populations we are trying to help.

  • We have to present the data that are truth. If we present the fake data then it may lead to failure of the project. In other word it can misguided the outcome and impact

  • without data we cannot do anything however data can cause many legal issues when used incorrectly and also cause embrassment to individual, when using data that is confidential ensure that the data is no persimable to unathorised persons. we apply honesty and integrity .

  • Honesty issues occur all the time especially during reporting of project outcomes and findings. in Many cases, project are not as planned. Donors have rigid contracts with organizations, and organizations either want to remain working, or do not want to be considered incompetent end up reporting something very far from the actual.

    It all has to start from how a program is planned, and all programs must give room for modifications where there is need. Without all these, people will be forced to report false data.

    Well for me, I take accurate data, and report what I have found.

    The implication is that we have to replan
