Baseline
The baseline is a key component of the evaluation process as it provides information on the prevailing conditions of the context and the people for which the programme is intended, before the start of the programme. It also serves as a benchmark or point of reference to identify how an individual or group of people has changed during the duration of the programme and how much of a difference the programme has made to such people.
IWORDS Consulting brings the expertise to conduct baseline and needs assessments of development and humanitarian programmes in contexts of protracted crises, vulnerability, or post-disaster situations.
