Baseline Survey — Foundations for Sustainable Action
IAEA has prepared a comprehensive baseline survey form — developed in consultation with IAEA members and relevant state bodies. This survey captures basic household-level data from the adopted villages, including demographic details, living conditions, socio-economic status, and awareness levels regarding education, health, sanitation, social welfare, and civic participation. The baseline survey acts as a guideline and pathway for planning future interventions: it helps identify priority areas, address gaps in awareness or services, and tailor programmes to the actual needs of the communities. In effect, it establishes a “before-intervention” snapshot, against which IAEA can monitor progress, measure impact, and ensure that subsequent programmes are sustainable, relevant, and responsive to real grassroots needs.
