Question: Can you guide me about tools that can help me to do rapid upraisal of economic affairs of a community through indirect representatives. For example through their elected reps.
Answer: CTB does not list specific tools for rapid financial assessment; only more general information about community needs assessment processes. We invite you to review those chapters by clicking on our Table of Contents. You might also look at the projects described under our Workstation Sign In field to see if any of them have attempted such an assessment. Beyond CTB, you might try The Urban Institute website.
