Issues with program activity should be addressed after the survey.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if requested
• D. Never

Answer: (B)

Issues with program activity should be addressed as they arise during the data collection or monitoring process, not delayed until after the survey is finished. Tackling problems in real time helps protect the accuracy of the data and the integrity of the program’s implementation. If issues are only addressed after the survey, they can continue to affect activity, bias results, and prevent timely improvements. By identifying and correcting problems promptly, you maintain fidelity to the planned activities, allow immediate quality improvements, and document actions for follow-up. After the survey, you can review what was found and plan remedial steps, but waiting to fix issues until afterward misses opportunities to keep the program on track and ensures data collected reflects the true conditions as much as possible.
