Steps in the analysis and planning process at target group level

The below overview gives the steps that have to be taken to complete a planning process. The different steps serve as the basis for the subsequent chapters in this tool, as well as the 'Logical Framework' and 'Assumptions' tool.

Preparatory phase

0. Define the subject

Define the subject of the OOPP workshop

0. Stakeholder analysis

Analysis the parties that have an interest in the subject

Analysis phase

1. Problem analysis

• Check the subject with the stakeholders
• Make an inventory of all perceived problems
• Check whether these problems are commonly understood
• Build the problem tree (cause-effect relations)

2. Objectives analysis

• Convert the problem tree into an objective tree
• Check consistency of means-end relations, if necessary reformulate objectives

3. Analysis of strategy

• Divide the objective tree into clusters (clustering)
• Select the clusters which will be included in the intervention (scoping)
• At this stage also use institutional analysis tools
