Dear Naser,
thank you so much for your good example and clarification, actually the examples you talk about are exactly my views/ my concerns and it is just a consideration to initiate any step for evaluation.
Let me put my comments as follows: I was a country Research Collector when I made a data collection for determination of baseline study and the realities observed are:
(1). Design the tool and test before starting any activities;
(2). Use of local staff who understand the local context and we just make a translation of the tools in our local language with purpose to avoid any misunderstanding/bias;
(3). We have collected a lot of information and targeted many groups of population to participate in the research;
(4). We have a serious issue to be considered in our research and we must understand the contact of our respondents vis a vis for example meeting with women violated and sexual workers as are part of our research.

Dear Dr Uzodinma, Adirieje
sure, the message you share is claire,However more action is needed before starting evaluation. There is a need
for definition and terms and conditions, in addition methodology approaches also need to be well defined.
During this time, we need to clarify the usage of appropriate technologies such as AI ,GIS, Etc. Additionally communication is required as outcome of the evaluation.
Thank you for your consideration
