    Data gathering is a systematic process used to collect information about participants, programs, and other elements of an evaluation. It helps establish information needs and priorities and can highlight key issues. Effective data gathering must be well-organized, identify all relevant system problems and requirements, and avoid unnecessary repetition. Primary data is collected directly from sources like observations, interviews, and questionnaires, while secondary data comes from existing records and reports. Common data gathering techniques include various types of observations, interviews, questionnaires, reviewing documentation, and communicating with stakeholders.
