CSR Needs Assessments
We conduct target group analysis and needs mapping for corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes, strengthening their social foundation through stakeholder consultations.
An effective CSR programme rests on a reliable needs assessment. We prepare comprehensive needs reports covering geographic and demographic target group profiles, stakeholder consultations (in-depth interviews and focus groups), existing programme gaps and analysis of comparable initiatives. Findings inform programme design, budget prioritisation and the establishment of an impact measurement framework.
