I am totally unfamiliar with program evaluation, but our center hopes to further develop our service based on the results of the needs assessment of the targeted older adults. Hence, I wonder if anyone could kindly give me some suggestions to prepare myself for it?

It was my pleasure.

I see. Thanks for sharing.

Needs assessment seeks to identify and measure the level of unmet needs within the target group in a program. As an evaluator, you may examine the socioeconomic profile and the level of social problems within the target group of the program, and other programs currently serving the target group. The approaches to meet needs should be chosen based on close contact between evaluators and the service users.
