Basic Needs Assessment

A Basics Needs Assessment is a process used to identify the essential requirements of a community or group. It involves collecting and analyzing information about their current situation, resources, and gaps in services or support. The goal is to understand what they need most—such as food, shelter, healthcare, or education—to improve their well-being. This assessment helps organizations and policymakers make informed decisions about where to focus efforts and resources, ensuring interventions are relevant and effective. It’s a practical way to prioritize actions that address fundamental needs and promote sustainable development.
