nd Problem Tree

Visual representation of the causes and effects of existing negative conditions in the project area and/or sector, in the form of a Problem Tree

1. Select the core problem (focal problem).

2. Identify the direct causes of the core problem.

3. Develop the problem tree downwards (add causes).

4. Identify the direct effects of the core ploblem.

5. Develop the problem tree upwards (add effects).

6. Ensure that “cause-effect” relationships are maintained in the

problem tree.

nd Tip for Writing Problem Cards

1. Write existing problems only.

2. Write only one problem per card.

3. Describe the problem in a sentence

4. Do not include both the cause and the effect of a problem on one card.

5. Try to avoid expressions such as “No resources is available.”

(instead, describe the conditions resulting from the lack or absence of the

particular)

nd Tips for Writing Objective Cards

1. Describe desirable situations on the cards

2. Confirm the statement whether it is realistic or not.

3. Confirm the statement whether it is feasible or not.

4. Add new cards if necessary.

5. You may not have to rewrite all the problem cards.

6. Do not become an automatic “translation machene”

Desirable?

Realistic?

Feasible?
