This stakeholder asset mapping toolkit is a practical resource for making programs more inclusive and effective, as it ensures that planned changes truly reflect the needs of the people most affected.  From an evaluation perspective, asset mapping also gives evaluation teams a clearer picture of their stakeholder landscape. By showing who is already involved and where engagement is lacking, it provides a strong starting point for assessing a program. Hence, it facilitates evaluators not only in understanding how well a program responds to its intended populations but also in interpreting findings in context by showing how stakeholder  insights  have influenced decisions, priorities, and implementation.

When we look at data, we should not only ask what data we have, but also how it was collected. Research is not just about completing a study or producing results. It is also about ensuring that the data behind those results is reliable and credible.  If we do not take data quality seriously now, there may come a time when human-led data collection is seen as unnecessary, especially as AI can gather data a million times faster than we can. Paying attention to data quality today is what helps human research continue to add value in the future.

The UNDP Evaluation Policy 2025 - 2030 is a useful reference for M&E professionals, especially those working within UN systems or international M&E frameworks. It outlines fundamental evaluation principles and quality standards, along with guidance on planning, conducting, and using independent and decentralized evaluations. It also emphasizes learning, accountability, and the effective use of evaluation findings.

In essence, data collection is part of a researcher’s toolkit, but gathering data alone does not qualify as research.   Hnin Ei Lwin #Monitoring #Evaluation #Reporting #Research #MEARL #social #development #humanitarian #publichealth
