Community assets and needs assessment is a systematic process used to evaluate the strengths, resources, challenges, and requirements within a specific community or population. It involves gathering data and insights to identify existing assets that can be leveraged for community development as well as pinpointing areas of need that require attention and intervention. This assessment typically involves engaging community members, stakeholders, and relevant organizations to collect qualitative and quantitative data, which is then analyzed to inform decision-making, resource allocation, and the design of targeted interventions or programs aimed at improving the overall well-being and resilience of the community.
