9. DATA QUALITY ASSURANCE MECHANISMS AND RELATED
SUPPORTIVE SUPERVISION
9.1 Data quality assurance mechanisms
World Vision India as part of its Monitoring and Evaluation system already has in place Data Quality
Assurance Mechanism. The Quality Assurance Unit of World Vision India conducts periodic Results
Review for ensuring data quality. This review focuses more on authenticity of data being reported. This
review primarily focuses on minimizing risk that can threaten the viability and reputation of the
organization.
Quality Assurance Mechanism in World Vision India also follows the similar nature of quality
components as suggested by Global Fund namely: Reliability, Accuracy, Timeliness, Completeness and
Integrity. The Results Review System of World Vision India has a scoring based on the above
component. The same quality assurance system applies for Programs and Finance Data. While the
results review system would ensure that quality standards are complied for program data, the Internal
Audit system would ensure that same standards are complied by the Finance System. This GF R-9
project would also be subject to Results Review and Internal Audit at least twice during the life of the
grant.
The table below describes the framework and the process that this project has put in place or would be
putting in place.
