Question

During the implementation of an urban community nutrition program it was discovered that items packaged into food baskets could not be eaten by many of those receiving the donations due to religious practices. Which step in the program planning process should have noted this fact?
a. program evaluation
b. review of a community needs assessment
c. identification of funding sources
d. development of a management system

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "review of a community needs assessment".

Explanation:

A community needs assessment identifies the strengths and resources available in the community, looking to understand the needs of the people and the agencies that work towards the people. During program planning a review of a community needs assessment must be performed before implementing the program to make sure that it meets the needs of the people. In this stage of the program, it should be noted that items packaged into food baskets could not be eaten because of people's religious practices.
