Based on my experience of monitoring and reporting from the filed offices, I have identified and addressed some of the issues pertaining to “evidence based” reporting. I think, some of the things for which the support offices seek evidence are vague terms and phrases that are not substantiated by data and its source. If these are taken care of and explicitly mentioned in the reports, a large part of the “evidence based” issues will be resolved. “Evidence Base” does not always mean that whatever we say has to be backed up by some survey result. We all know that frequent surveys, and for everything, are not possible. But the idea is to mention things that authenticate our narratives.
A diagram to remember: Common phrases that are used in reporting, but hardly means anything of worth:
Bottom-line: If you have a conclusion to make, it is surely based on some observation. Please share that observation, made through a valid process. It becomes evidence.
