Assessment:
Your Experiences With Public Needs Assessment
A public need is defined as the gap between what is happening now in society and what needs to be happening to ensure the best services, programs, or projects for the people. The needs assessment process is what we use in the public sector to bridge or fill that gap.
You will describe a public needs assessment that you have worked on as part of your job or in your daily life, or one you are aware of in your community.
In your post, define and describe the following:
Historical trends that structure public needs assessment planning and planned change.
The need or gap in services, programs, or projects, and when it occurred.
The people who were involved in trying to develop a comprehensive action learning solution.
The scope and success of the action learning solution.
Status of the issue today.
In addition, provide a logic model to illustrate how the needs-based issues can be narrowed down to impact planned change.
