Baseline Study

A baseline study is an initial assessment conducted at the start of a project to understand the current situation before any changes or interventions are implemented. It gathers data on key indicators related to the project's goals, such as community conditions, resources, or behaviors. This information serves as a reference point, allowing organizations to measure progress, evaluate impact, and make informed decisions throughout the project’s duration. Essentially, it sets a clear starting line so that later results can be accurately compared and assessed.
