-
Design

- Based on international standards, methods and terminology

- Promotes collaboration and ownership
- Produces objective-driven, client-centered design
- Improves causal logic

Lesson Overview Culture Systems
- Walking the path precedes knowing the path
- Getting to know and doing this rightly and well requires an integral technique for
managing development results

Situation Analysis is a very good indeed recognized as the requisite step in the Project Cycle,
a necessary step to make a good attempt before making final decisions on project design and
strategy

Side Note: CapDev (capacity Development)

Objectives:
- Developing a picture of the broader context in which the project will operate
- Characterizing the current state and condition of people and ecosystem in a geographic
or thematic area

Analyzing and Discussing the information on condition, trends, pressures and responses and
discover the major significant issues or areas requiring attention.
Content/Situation Analysis is a method used to analyse the internal ecosystem in which an
organization operates

…consists of 2 main options:

- Basic Situation Analysis
- Comprehensive Situation Analysis

Basic Situation Analysis

- Constructing a basic picture of the bigger context, used mainly for the purpose of
understanding the broader context and making choices of intervention areas, strategy
and partners, along with a few good basic monitoring of changes

Comprehensive Situation Analysis

- To constructing a picture of the context, builds a quantitative and qualitative baseline of
the conditions of people and ecosystem to use as a n ongoing monitoring tool

Why It’s Important

Planning and setting up a project is not an ‘objestive’ thing. It is subjective to who they are, the
network of contacts, the experience and what the organization can do in terms of internal
resources and capabilities

An example of Knowledge Café Rules:

1. All ideas are accepted without any argument
2. Aim for quantity rather than quality
3. No debate on whether ideas are accepted or not, only about whether the idea has
already been listed
4. No evaluation now (limit the discussion on the significance of the material and
concentrate on getting full cross-sectional of ideas)

Stakeholder Analysis

Theoretically,
 Identify gaps in your project’s stakeholder list
 Gaps in knowledge about stakeholders, and
 Difference in team members’ perception about stakeholders current and future and
influence on the project

The Stakeholder Analysis is a methodology used to facilitate institutional policy reform

processes by accounting for and often incorporating the needs of those who have a ‘stake’ or
an ‘interest’ in the reforms under consideration.

However, by initiating Stakeholder Analysis prior to the introduction of the reform and
continuing to modify the policy proposal during the design process, latent barriers

Steps in Developing Stakeholders’ Analysis

1. Identify stakeholders
2. Assess stakeholder interest, influence, and importance
3. Design Stakeholder Participation Strategy
Accordingly, stakeholder analysis is a progressive process to be revisited continually during
the planning process in order to show evidence of the way stakeholder participation evolves
depending on the stage of project or project cycle.

Therefore, it is important to note that stakeholders may change over the course of the project
and an updated stakeholders’ analysis can be required at a later stage of the project
implementation.

Problem Tree Analysis

Planned development projects address the real needs of the beneficiaries which cannot be
achieved without
 Identifying
 Examining and analysing the real main problems
 Establishing the cause and effect relationship between these problems

through the representatives of all key stakeholders discussing openly in a workshop

environment

Problem-focused analysis means:

 Analyse only those issues which are identified to be problematic, be guided by problem
view
 Narrowing the focus with respect to the scope of analysis and at the same time digging
deep into these problems and their casual factors

Objective Tree Analysis

Theoretically, the objective tree is the positive mirror image of the problem tree, and is
exactly the same structure as the problem tree.

The problem statements (negatives) are transformed into objective statements (positives),
expressed as “positive accomplishments”.

However, the results of the stakeholder analysis may have facilitated to give better focus to
priority problems, hence, not the entire original problem statements may therefore need to be
translated into objective statements.
