The objective of this primer is to provide basic and practical support to CSO representatives in preparing effective case studies. Through this, they will be able to factually present any special aspect or practical experience or achievements related to their subject/project.

Case Study is a factual-qualitative description of any subject, problem, situation, solution or individual/organization. Case study has a format and the writer/presenter should be clear on the point as to whom the case study is being presented to. Case study provides answers about a topic – What is the issue/subject? Why? About whom? Where? What is the impact? Since when? How was the problem/issue resolved? What are the facts?

Case Study is not a tool to propagate the identity of an Organisation, but it is a medium to narrate the issue or the problem of the community, barriers and efforts to overcome those barriers, process of intervention and the first-hand account of the community representatives and the result of any intervention.
