Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A needs assessment is a research tool used to identify the needs, strengths, and weaknesses of a specific population. It can be used to gather information about the target population's requirements and preferences in order to design a program that meets their needs and to make necessary modifications to enhance the programme's quality. Thus, it helps in identifying the essentials for a program among the target population.  Performance evaluation, cost-effectiveness analysis, and cost-benefit analysis are other types of program evaluations that are typically conducted after the program has been implemented.
