Home / Services / MERL & Data / Needs Assessments
A needs assessment establishes what a target population actually needs, what already exists, and where the gaps are — the evidence base that separates fundable proposals from hopeful ones, and effective designs from imported templates.
Our approach
Mapping what communities need against what government, NGOs and markets already provide.
Structured engagement with communities, leaders, local authorities and service providers — documented for your proposal annexes.
Transparent criteria for ranking needs, so design choices trace back to evidence.
Findings packaged to slot directly into donor proposal formats and theories of change.
