Bridging the Gap Between Asset/Capacity Building and Needs Assessment

The goal of Bridging the Gap is to provide a book that takes a competing approach to Needs Assessment and shows the alternative side--the capacity building and assets of communities and individuals. At the heart of this approach is assessing the strengths and assets that communities have and how to take those assets and make them even stronger. The book bridges the two concepts of Asset/Capacity Building and Needs Assessment and shows an applied emphasis to the synthesis.
