| Thank you for visiting our new needs assessment knowledge base. Though this site is under development, we published it in its draft format to: 1) provide a timely response to the current need for such a tool, and 2) collect feedback from pilot users on how to improve the knowledge base. Please send comments to mwestmeiers@worldbank.org. |
