UNDERSTANDINGOURENVIRONMENT
Finding the Stakeholders (Participants)
Which (group of interest) are related to the situation we want to
engage?
What are their problems, interests (orneeds) and points of view.
How do they relate to each other?
What is their potential in a foreseeable future (both Positive,

Which group needs support?

UNDERSTANDINGOURENVIRONMENT
Identifying the problem we want to address
State only the existing problems (no the future/possible
ones).
A problem is a negative state not the lack of
something. (i.e. The education is deficient)
Identify the main problems (observation and brainstorm)
Select a Focal problem

OPTIONS?)
Which options do we have in order to transform
each part of the problems tree into the objectives
tree?
Can we organize this options by areas (i.e.

etc.)?
In which of this areas we have the best chance of
success according to our criteria?

DESIGNINGOURPROJECT
The matrix is a double-entry chart with four columns andfour lines. The columns are (left to right):
1) Logic of intervention.
2) Indicators;
3) Sources of verification. (Methods and sources to beused while analyzing the Indicators); 4) Hypothesis and external factors. (Out of our control,
stated in a positive way) The lines are (Top to down)
General Objective (GO)
Especiphic Objective (EO) Results (Clear and visible facts enough to reach the EO, it
is possible to reach them through the project activities)Activities and inputs. (Tasks that the people working in the
project will have to do.)
