Our
Programmes Research
& Documentation
Research and documentation is one of the
major focus areas of ISARD, as it gives proper
understanding of social issues. Since inception we followed
the path of research and documentation which helps in
evolving us to the present status. On the basis of grass
root experience & need of the community ISARD
plans to development activities in the areas.
Baseline/community Need Assessment
Survey
Households & Community Based Baseline Survey and
Needs Assessment
Before starting any developmental progamme, ISARD conduct
household & community based Baseline Survey and Needs
Assessment on the issue based among the targeted area.
The objective of the Baseline Survey and Needs Assessment
is to gain information on the economic, social and education
status of the target population for planning strategy
for programme interventions.
The baseline studies attempt to articulate the relationship
between social and economic dynamics, the socio-economic
capitals and other amenities available to the households
and community. Community Needs Assessment has been considered
as a tool for identifying gaps in people and community
needs, and therefore mainstreaming real development opportunities
into the community systems.
Monitoring and
Evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation as a participatory process,
enables capacity to understand and apply lessons learned
from the projects' experiences. The multidisciplinary
expertise available with ISARD has been used to undertake
monitoring and evaluation studies of both in-house and
the projects of other clients and governmental programmes.
