This event takes place on September 15th at 1-2:30 PM ET.

Why spend valuable staff time conducting a needs assessment? Needs assessment information is extremely valuable for focusing project activities on the real needs of your intended beneficiaries and for use as baseline data in the project’s evaluation. This webinar will review the underlying purposes of a needs assessment, including how its findings can be used to design a better project and gauge impact. We will outline how to (1) identify your target audience and determine what is already known about their needs, (2) assess needs using a variety of methods, and (3) use the needs assessment results in project planning and evaluation.
