The problem analysis focuses on factual issues, such as the yearly number of drug abusers in Hong Kong, while the need assessment focuses more on the service gap, such as insufficient outreaching teams at the community levels.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
