Problem 1: The book defines a need as, "the difference between the present situation and a more desirable one". Choose a target population (ex. Pregnant women, children under 5, older adults) and identify some of the needs that might be expressed by members of that target population.
Problem 2: How would you involve the target population in your needs assessment process? How much contribution or control should they have?
Problem 3: What might be some of the challenges of including different stakeholders, including members of the target population, in the needs assessment process?
