If not, any reply should also add the national focal point in Cc. </li> <li><strong>Cover sheet:</strong> check if cover sheet is correctly filled out. Cross-check if the person submitting is the formal national focal point. If not, any reply should include the national focal point in Cc.</li> <li><strong>Question scores and calculations:</strong> In the spreadsheet ‘Quality_Assurance_651_2020.xlsx’ on Dropbox, fill in the given responses in sheet “QA 2020 scores-status”. Make the following checks to scores:<ol> <li>All questions answered. The official guidance is that all questions should be answered (either with a score or n/a). </li> <li>If there is confusion about whether to score or use ‘n/a’ for sub-national level questions, this list of administrative divisions by country may help in our understanding of the sub-national level(s) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_administrative_divisions_by_country%20">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_administrative_divisions_by_country </a> </li> <li>Scores are in range from 0-100, in increments of 10.

<h2>Garantía de calidad:</h2>
<p>Las siguientes directrices de garantía de calidad (GC) están a disposición de todas las personas que participan en la garantía de calidad de 6.5.1.</p> <p>Proceso:.</p> <ol> <li>Nombrar a la persona responsable de la garantía de calidad de la respuesta de un país una vez que se presenta por primera vez.</li> <li>Acusar recibo e informar al país del proceso de GC.</li> <li>Actualizar la hoja de cálculo de la GC, indicando la fecha de recepción y quién la ha presentado.</li> <li>Subir el borrador de la encuesta (MS Word) a la carpeta de Dropbox.</li> <li>Realizar TODAS las comprobaciones descritas a continuación.</li> <li>Si hay alguna discrepancia, regresarla a los colegas del PNUMA-DHI (por su sigla en inglés).</li> <li>Una vez acordada la acción, responder a los países.</li> <li>Realizar todas las comprobaciones en cada una de las versiones posteriores del cuestionario hasta que se hayan resuelto todos los problemas de calidad y se marque el cuestionario como ‘final’.    </li> </ol> <p>Comprobaciones:.</p> <ol> <li>Punto focal: Confirme que la persona que lo presenta es el punto focal nacional formal. Si no es así, cualquier respuesta debe añadir también el punto focal nacional en CC.  </li> <li>Respuestas a las preguntas: </li> <li>Todas las preguntas contestadas. La orientación oficial es que todas las preguntas deben ser contestadas (con una puntuación o n/a). </li> <li>Puntuaciones en el rango de 0-100, en incrementos de 10. </li> <li>Compruebe que n/a (no aplicable) se utiliza adecuadamente. </li> <li>Campos de texto libre: En los campos ““Descripción del estado” y “Camino a seguir” de cada pregunta, compruebe que el texto libre tiene sentido en el contexto de la puntuación (y viceversa). </li> <li>Cálculos: Comprueba que los promedios de las secciones y la puntuación final están redondeados al número entero más cercano y son correctos, utilizando la hoja de cálculo de GC en Dropbox. Rellene las respuestas dadas en las columnas M - AX, y revise que las diferencias se calculan automáticamente en las columnas C – G. Si la diferencia es superior a +/- 0,5, las celdas se resaltan automáticamente en rojo utilizando el formato condicional. </li> <li>Comparar con la línea de base de 2017: Cuando esté disponible, compare con la encuesta de referencia de 2017 (para 172 países) y discuta con sus colegas si es necesario.  </li> <li>Cuestiones transfronterizas: </li> <li>Compruebe la tabla de ‘cuencas transfronterizas’ del Anexo B. La lista completa de cuencas transfronterizas se puede encontrar aquí: <a href="about:blank">http://twap-rivers.org/indicators/Report.ashx?type=IndicatorResultsSummary</a>.</li> <li>Vaya a la hoja de trabajo/pestaña final para ver los países de cada cuenca. Consulta también los mapas aquí: <a href="about:blank">http://twap-rivers.org/indicators/</a> para ver si es probable que la cuenca sea importante para ese país, o si sólo hay una pequeña porción de la cuenca en su país (en cuyo caso es posible que no la incluyan en la lista). </li> <li> Compruebe las preguntas sobre transfronterizos: 1.2c, 2.2e; 3.2d; y 4.2c, y vea si tienen sentido en el contexto del país. Los países insulares deben presentar ‘n/a’ para todas estas preguntas.</li> </ol> <p>Todos los datos son proporcionados por cada país y, por lo tanto, son de su entera propiedad. Cada país lleva a cabo una consulta con las partes interesadas, a un nivel apropiado teniendo en cuenta los recursos y la capacidad de que disponen, para garantizar que los datos tienen la aceptación y la propiedad adecuadas dentro del país. Las orientaciones sobre los procesos de consulta figuran en la guía de seguimiento y en el powerpoint y el vídeo introductorios para los puntos focales (todos los materiales están disponibles en <a href="about:blank">http://iwrmdataportal.unepdhi.org</a>).</p> |

<h2>Garantía de calidad:</h2>
<p>Las siguientes directrices de garantía de calidad (GC) están a disposición de todas las personas que participan en la garantía de calidad de 6.5.1.</p> <p>Proceso:.</p> <ol> <li>Nombrar a la persona responsable de la garantía de calidad de la respuesta de un país una vez que se presenta por primera vez.</li> <li>Acusar recibo e informar al país del proceso de GC.</li> <li>Actualizar la hoja de cálculo de la GC, indicando la fecha de recepción y quién la ha presentado.</li> <li>Subir el borrador de la encuesta (MS Word) a la carpeta de Dropbox.</li> <li>Realizar TODAS las comprobaciones descritas a continuación.</li> <li>Si hay alguna discrepancia, regresarla a los colegas del PNUMA-DHI (por su sigla en inglés).</li> <li>Una vez acordada la acción, responder a los países.</li> <li>Realizar todas las comprobaciones en cada una de las versiones posteriores del cuestionario hasta que se hayan resuelto todos los problemas de calidad y se marque el cuestionario como ‘final’.    </li> </ol> <p>Comprobaciones:.</p> <ol> <li>Punto focal: Confirme que la persona que lo presenta es el punto focal nacional formal. Si no es así, cualquier respuesta debe añadir también el punto focal nacional en CC.  </li> <li>Respuestas a las preguntas: </li> <li>Todas las preguntas contestadas. La orientación oficial es que todas las preguntas deben ser contestadas (con una puntuación o n/a). </li> <li>Puntuaciones en el rango de 0-100, en incrementos de 10. </li> <li>Compruebe que n/a (no aplicable) se utiliza adecuadamente. </li> <li>Campos de texto libre: En los campos ““Descripción del estado” y “Camino a seguir” de cada pregunta, compruebe que el texto libre tiene sentido en el contexto de la puntuación (y viceversa). </li> <li>Cálculos: Comprueba que los promedios de las secciones y la puntuación final están redondeados al número entero más cercano y son correctos, utilizando la hoja de cálculo de GC en Dropbox. Rellene las respuestas dadas en las columnas M - AX, y revise que las diferencias se calculan automáticamente en las columnas C – G. Si la diferencia es superior a +/- 0,5, las celdas se resaltan automáticamente en rojo utilizando el formato condicional. </li> <li>Comparar con la línea de base de 2017: Cuando esté disponible, compare con la encuesta de referencia de 2017 (para 172 países) y discuta con sus colegas si es necesario.  </li> <li>Cuestiones transfronterizas: </li> <li>Compruebe la tabla de ‘cuencas transfronterizas’ del Anexo B. La lista completa de cuencas transfronterizas se puede encontrar aquí: <a href="about:blank">http://twap-rivers.org/indicators/Report.ashx?type=IndicatorResultsSummary</a>.</li> <li>Vaya a la hoja de trabajo/pestaña final para ver los países de cada cuenca. Consulta también los mapas aquí: <a href="about:blank">http://twap-rivers.org/indicators/</a> para ver si es probable que la cuenca sea importante para ese país, o si sólo hay una pequeña porción de la cuenca en su país (en cuyo caso es posible que no la incluyan en la lista). </li> <li> Compruebe las preguntas sobre transfronterizos: 1.2c, 2.2e; 3.2d; y 4.2c, y vea si tienen sentido en el contexto del país. Los países insulares deben presentar ‘n/a’ para todas estas preguntas.</li> </ol> <p>Todos los datos son proporcionados por cada país y, por lo tanto, son de su entera propiedad. Cada país lleva a cabo una consulta con las partes interesadas, a un nivel apropiado teniendo en cuenta los recursos y la capacidad de que disponen, para garantizar que los datos tienen la aceptación y la propiedad adecuadas dentro del país. Las orientaciones sobre los procesos de consulta figuran en la guía de seguimiento y en el powerpoint y el vídeo introductorios para los puntos focales (todos los materiales están disponibles en <a href="about:blank">http://iwrmdataportal.unepdhi.org</a>).</p> |

Things to check
Key
QUALITY_ASSUREFlags
ignore-inconsistent
<p>Process: </p>
<ol>
<li>Nominate person responsible for the quality assurance (QA) for a country response once it is submitted for the first time. </li>
<li>Acknowledge receipt and inform the country of the QA process. </li>
<li>Update the QA spreadsheet, indicating date of receipt and who submitted. </li>
<li>Upload draft survey (MS Word) to the Dropbox folder. </li>
<li>Undertake ALL checks described below. </li>
<li>If there are any discrepancies, revert to UNEP-DHI colleagues. </li>
<li>Once action is agreed, respond to the countries. </li>
<li>Complete all checks on each subsequent version of the questionnaire until all quality issues are resolved and questionnaire is marked ‘final’. </li>
</ol>
<p>Checks: </p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Focal point:</strong> Confirm the person submitting is the formal national focal point. If not, any reply should also add the national focal point in Cc. </li>
<li><strong>Cover sheet:</strong> check if cover sheet is correctly filled out. Cross-check if the person submitting is the formal national focal point. If not, any reply should include the national focal point in Cc.</li>
<li><strong>Question scores and calculations:</strong> In the spreadsheet ‘Quality_Assurance_651_2020.xlsx’ on Dropbox, fill in the given responses in sheet “QA 2020 scores-status”. Make the following checks to scores:<ol>
<li>All questions answered. The official guidance is that all questions should be answered (either with a score or n/a). </li>
<li>If there is confusion about whether to score or use ‘n/a’ for sub-national level questions, this list of administrative divisions by country may help in our understanding of the sub-national level(s) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_administrative_divisions_by_country%20">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_administrative_divisions_by_country </a> </li>
<li>Scores are in range from 0-100, in increments of 10. If they only give ‘even’ scores (e.g. 0, 20, 40 etc), then they may not have understood that they can also give ‘odd’ scores (10, 30, 50 etc), if they feel their situation lies between two threshold descriptions.</li>
<li>Any differences between ‘given’ and ‘calculated’ section scores and overall score are given in columns C – G. If the difference is greater than +/- 0.5, the cells are automatically highlighted in red using conditional formatting. One must also fill in the date of last submission in column B, otherwise the differences will not be calculated. </li>
<li>Compare with baseline (2017). The QA ‘2017 Comparison’ spreadsheet automatically calculates differences. Note any negative changes (orange), or increases of more than 20 (yellow). If there are any significant/unexpected differences, the country should have given some explanation in the free text fields. </li>
<li>In the ‘given’ calculations (section 5 of the survey instrument), check that section averages and overall score are rounded to the nearest whole number. Rounding mistakes might occur.</li>
<li>Note: in the calculations, 0 scores are included, and N/A scores should be omitted. N/A scores should always have explanation (unless obvious – e.g. transboundary questions for island states).</li>
<li>Check if the final score is calculated as average of rounded section averages.</li>
<li>In the free text responses in columns (BE-BF) in the main “QA 2020-score status” tab, for assigning Low/ Medium/ High categories the following criteria should be followed: <u>Low:</u> Less than three quarters of questions have responses and/or responses are poor quality. <u>Medium:</u> At least three quarters of the questions have responses, and/or responses are varying quality. Each question and the points make sense and are useful. <u>High:</u> All questions have responses and most responses are high quality. NB: Quality responses mean ones that are useful/informative/detailed and can contribute to stakeholder understanding/discussions and planning.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><strong>Free text fields: </strong>Using the ‘text’ tabs: </li>
<li>Check that the free text make sense in the context of the score (and vice versa) (particularly in the case of (n/a or 100 responses).</li>
<li>Check that n/a (not applicable) is used appropriately. i.e. only if the question is not applicable to the country. In some cases, a score of zero should be given, and in others, perhaps they need more help to figure out how to answer the question. </li>
<li>Guidance for assigning Low/ Medium/ High categories: Low: Blank or not useful. Medium: Some text and details. High: Useful amount of text and detail than can contribute to stakeholder understanding/consensus and planning.</li>

<p><strong>ANNEXES</strong>. </p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Annex B: Transboundary level:</strong></li>
<li>Check the ‘transboundary basins’ table. A full list of transboundary basins can be found here: <a href="http://twap-rivers.org/indicators/Report.ashx?type=IndicatorResultsSummary">http://twap-rivers.org/indicators/Report.ashx?type=IndicatorResultsSummary</a>.

<li>For transboundary aquifers, check: <a href="https://ggis.un-igrac.org/view/twap">https://ggis.un-igrac.org/view/twap</a> </li>
<li>In case any sub-basins are listed, check that the main basin name is included in brackets. </li>
<li>Check the transboundary questions: 1.2c; 2.2e; 3.2d; and 4.2c, and see if these make sense in the context of the country. </li>
<li>Island countries should give ‘n/a’ for all the questions that relate to transboundary waters. </li>
<li><strong>Annex C: Barriers / enablers:</strong> Is this filled out? Low, moderate, or high level of information? </li>
<li> Guidance for assigning Low/ Medium/ High categories: <u>Low:</u> Less than 1 point for each question. <u>Medium:</u> At least one point for each question and the points make sense and are useful. <u>High:</u> Useful analysis that would contribute to future planning.</li>
