Initial location assesment

#1

Hello,
I am a missionary working with the AOG church in Papua New Guinea. They have planted a church in a remote location and would like to do some community development type projects. They would like to do an initial assessment to find out needs and available resources in the community. Before working up a completely new assessment i thought i would see if anyone here has something they have used in the past. don’t want to reinvent the wheel if there are already existing resources.
