What is a Needs Assessment?

target population. (ROMA)
A process of collecting and analyzing a broad array of data and information to develop a
comprehensive picture of a particular community. (Claire Higgins)

current official poverty measure.”

Other Tips in Data Planning
• Use a three year time frame if possible to allow for identification of trends
• Sequence the data collection to start with quantitative methods
• Pair data collection methods with types of stakeholders and data collection needs (e.g. surveys for customers; key informant interviews for partners)
• Sequence quantitative and qualitative methods (e.g. follow up surveys with focus groups)
• Consider connections to the strategic planning process
