Baseline Survey & Assessment

A baseline study is an analysis of the present situation to identify starting benchmarks for a program or project. Through these studies, our team looks at what information must be considered and analysed to establish a baseline or starting point so that future progress can be assessed and comparisons can be made.

• Before and After analysis.
• With or with activity- (useful in RCTs) With experimental control, these studies compare change in the activity location to change in the location where the activity did not happen.

A baseline study is essential for any large-scale social impact project in order to create accurate change indicators.

It is an accurate way to assist in the comparison process for any monitoring and evaluation process of longitudinal social projects.

Needs Assessment

Community Needs Assessment identifies the strengths and resources available in the community to meet the needs of children, youth, and families. The evaluation focuses on the community’s capacities, including those of its members, organizations, and agencies. It offers a framework for creating communities that support and nurture families and children, as well as for developing and identifying services and solutions.

During our study, the team not only interacts with the community members but also interviews specific target groups to understand their needs in more detail. We generally conduct the assessment to paint a comprehensive picture of the community across seven key thematic areas - Livelihood, Education, Healthcare, Nutrition, Environment, Social Security and Financial Inclusion.
