Baseline Survey

A baseline survey is an initial assessment conducted before starting a project or program. It collects important information about the current situation, such as community needs, resources, or behaviors. This helps organizations understand what exists before any changes are made. The data gathered serves as a reference point, allowing for measurement of progress and impact once the program is underway. Essentially, it provides a clear picture of the starting conditions, ensuring that future efforts can be accurately evaluated and adjusted for effectiveness.
