basic requirement
An essential condition or requirement that must be met before something else becomes possible or can take place; a foundation for a subsequent step.
Gegenseitiges Vertrauen ist die Grundvoraussetzung für eine funktionierende Partnerschaft.
Mutual trust is the basic requirement for a functioning partnership.
This word is made up of 'Grund-' (basic/fundamental) and 'Voraussetzung' (requirement/precondition). 'Voraussetzung' itself consists of 'voraus' (ahead/in advance) and 'Setzung' (setting, from setzen). So it is literally something that must be 'vorausgesetzt' (presupposed) — a fundamental condition.
Ein abgeschlossenes Studium ist die Grundvoraussetzung für diesen Job.

The construction is typically 'die Grundvoraussetzung für etwas (Akkusativ)' (the basic requirement for something, accusative). This expresses what the condition is necessary for. Alternatively, a subordinate clause with 'dass' (that) can also follow.
Sprachkenntnisse sind eine Grundvoraussetzung für die internationale Zusammenarbeit.
Language skills are a basic requirement for international cooperation.
Common verbs used with 'Grundvoraussetzung' (basic requirement) are 'erfüllen' (to meet/fulfill), 'schaffen' (to create), or simply 'sein' (to be). You can meet or create a basic requirement, or something is a basic requirement.
Der Bewerber erfüllt alle Grundvoraussetzungen für die Stelle.

basis / base
'die Basis' and 'die Grundvoraussetzung' both have to do with the beginning or foundation of something. 'die Basis' is a general foundation on which something can be built further. 'die Grundvoraussetzung' is stronger: it means a condition that absolutely must be met; otherwise, something is not possible. The words can be confused because both are important for something that follows. If you want to say what something is built on, use 'Basis'. If you want to say what must definitely be in place first, 'Grundvoraussetzung' is more precise.
