Case studies can be written in various styles and expert writers can always come out with new ideas on the format of a case study. However, a basic template of a case study is useful for NGOs which they can work on further to present their point of view.
Below is an example of a template for writing a case study:
Title (Make sure your title is short, catchy & conveys the idea behind your story)
____________________________________
The Situation (Explain the situation whether it is a problem or a success story you are reporting: What was the earlier situation or the past?)
