SSP Program Data and Reporting Hacks

Monitoring, QA, QC, and Evaluation

There is often confusion about the methods and processes of collecting data and monitoring vs. quality assurance vs. quality control vs. evaluation because all of these processes provide data and information about how well a program is doing.

All of them can be used in reporting but they are not all the same and it is important to distinguish between them for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is because many funders will expect you to distinguish them and they are often the basis for ongoing funding.
