If you’re planning or overseeing a program

Try these techniques to help you ‘Identify’:

• Conduct a needs assessment, by;
  • Gathering and reviewing program information: client feedback, case notes, monitoring data and QlikView
  • Analysing population data
  • Undertaking stakeholder consultations; here are some useful tools to get you started
• Develop a program logic and theory of change
