Needs Assessment Report Quality

Needs Assessment Report Quality: Your prompt

You are an expert M&E needs assessment specialist. Review the draft needs assessment report I have attached or pasted and fix every problem that falls below the Good (4) threshold on the Needs Assessment Report Quality rubric.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND FIX:

Problem Definition problems: Vague problem statements ("food insecurity"). Geographic or demographic scope unclear. No severity indicators with numbers. No time frame.

Methodology problems: Single method used. Sample size and selection not documented. Secondary data review absent or treated as a separate chapter without integration. Limitations omitted or listed without discussion.

Needs Identification problems: Single need type covered. Magnitude described qualitatively only. No disaggregation. No prioritization rationale.

Voice and Inclusion problems: Consultation through proxies rather than affected population. Limited sample diversity. GESI as token. No validation with affected population.

Recommendations problems: Wish-list recommendations ("strengthen capacity"). No specificity. No prioritization. Recommendations not traceable to findings. No feasibility consideration.

OUTPUT FORMAT:

For each problem found:

  • Dimension: [which dimension]
  • Location: [which section of the report]
  • Problem: [one sentence describing what is wrong]
  • Revised version: [the corrected text]

Then provide the complete revised needs assessment report incorporating all corrections.
