I agree that my data can be processed for the purpose of this assessment. In accordance with POPIA no personal data will be used for any other purpose

Frameworks that diagram the direct causal relationships between the incremental results of key project activities and the overall objective and goal of the intervention are called: *

Conceptual frameworks
Results frameworks
Logic models
All of the above

Indicators should be vague so that people can interpret them to meet their own needs, making them more useful.

True
False

Which of the following is an example of a routine data source used for monitoring? *

Clinic service statistics
Household surveys
National censuses
All of the above

Population-based surveys, such as a Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) or a national population census, are examples of nonroutine data sources. These sources are useful because: *

They provide information on a timely basis
They can be used to calculate coverage indicators
They include health outcomes for only those using health facilities
All of the above

A data collection or monitoring plan should include the following: *

The timing and frequency of collection
The person/agency responsible for the collection
The types of information needed for the indicators
All of the above

When should the M&E plan be created? *

During the design phase of a program
At the midpoint of the program
At the end of the program
After all of the data have been collected but before they are analyzed

What do Evaluations measure? *

The timeliness of a program’s activities
The outcomes and impact of a program’s activities
How closely a program kept to its budget
How well the program was implemented

At what stage of a program should monitoring take place? *

At the beginning of the program
At the midpoint of the program
At the end of the program
Throughout the life of the program

Which of the following is NOT considered “monitoring”? *

Counting the number of people trained
Tracking the number of brochures disseminated
Attributing changes in health outcomes to an intervention
Collecting monthly data on clients served in a clinic

The M&E plan should never be changed once the program begins. *

True
False

When it is said that objectives should be SMART, the “S” in the acronym stands for *

Simple
Strategic
Silly
Specific

Monitoring and evaluation both require knowledge of baseline values. *

True
False

Which of the following is a characteristic of a good indicator? *

Measures only the condition or event it is intended to measure
Produces the same results when used repeatedly to measure the same condition or event
Is clearly defined in unambiguous terms
All of the above are characteristics of good indicators

What is an Output? *

Short-term and medium-term effect of an intervention’s outputs, such as change in knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors.
The financial, human, and material resources used in a program/intervention
The tangible products or services that are produced as a result of program or project activities
Positive and negative, primary and secondary long-term effects produced by a development intervention, directly or indirectly, intended or unintended

Which of the following are types of indicators *

input
output
outcome
impact
efficiency
effectiveness
sustainability
all of the above

Data quality can be negatively affected by: *

Sampling bias (the sample taken is not a representative sample)
Nonresponse rates
Subjective measurement (data influenced by measurer)
All of the above

In some cases, the output of one activity depicted in a logic model could be an input for another activity. *

True
False

Frameworks can: *

Help increase understanding of a project’s goals and objectives
Define the relationships among factors key to project implementation
Delineate the internal and external elements that could affect a project’s success
All of the above

What is an M&E Plan? *

A data collection plan for monitoring a programme or project. It lists the measure, the targets for each measure, how each measure will be checked, how and who will check the measures.
A table that lists all the indicators for your program, including the data source, baseline, target, how often it will be measured, and who is responsible for measuring it.
A comprehensive document that outlines how a project or program will be monitored and evaluated from start to finish. It provides a structured framework for collecting, analyzing, and using data to track progress, measure outcomes, and make informed decisions.
A model of how a project or a program is supposed to work. In other words it provides a road map of where the project is trying to reach.

Who is responsible for Monitoring and Evaluation? *

The M&E officer
The programme team
The management team
The board
Everyone
