About the Event
Introduction to Sattva:
Sattva is an organization driven by the mission to end poverty in our lifetime. Our work focuses on scalable solutions for sustainable social impact. We work with our clients - corporations, philanthropists, foundations and social organizations - to achieve social impact goals effectively and maximize the social return on their investment. Deep understanding across sectors and collaboration with multiple stakeholders drive our work. This approach helps us and our clients develop holistic solutions for solving critical societal problems.
Sattva has conducted more than 80 evaluations including needs assessments, process and impact evaluations in India and Africa. We have worked with Corporates, Foundations and NGOs in conducting needs assessments across various geographies in India to find the needs of the communities linked to different thematic areas such as Education, Healthcare, Livelihoods, WaSH, Skill Development among others. Sattva follows a unique approach in conducting needs assessments which captures all the different perspectives through primary and secondary research. We have been successful in finding the needs of the community and getting them addressed by advising our clients through evidence-based program designing. Further, Sattva also helped the clients in finding the right implementation partners for execution on the ground.

a. What is Needs Assessment?
b. Why is Needs Assessment important before designing a social development program?
c. How is a Needs Assessment different from a Baseline Assessment?
d. When should a Needs Assessment be done and by whom?
e. What are the steps involved in doing a Needs Assessment study?
f. How to interpret the results of a Needs Assessment study?
g. How can a Needs Assessment study help in designing social development programs to achieve the SDGs?
