Tools and Templates for BAs

Tools & Templates for Beneficiary Assessment (BA)

Here you will find a variety of resources to help you plan and implement a BA. They cover initial planning (inception report, budgeting, terms of reference for facilitators and co-facilitators, roles and responsibilities, process description) as well as early stages of implementation (field testing, facilitator and co-training). Some also cover the overall process of a BA (How-to Note). The templates are in MSWord 2013 format for ease of adaptation to your own BA context.*

The later stages of a BA (e.g. the field research, validation workshop and reporting) will need to be designed for each specific BA context, but the tools and templates should give you a good foundation on which to build these aspects.
