It will help to:

A

> Demonstrate and describe the situation in the future if all the identified problems were remedied

> Identify possible objectives (intended results) and verify the hierarchy between
them

> Illustrate and verify the causal (means-ends) relationships through a diagram

> Establish priorities by:
– assessing how realistic the achievement of some objectives may be and

– identifying additional means that may be required to achieve the intended results

Q

There are two basic steps in creating an objectives tree:

A

Step 1

Turn each of the problems in the problem tree into positive statements (“objectives”)

by reformulating the negative situations as desirable positive situations, based
on the needs that arise from the problems. Reproduce the shape of the problem tree,
substituting each problem with an objective.

Step 2
Check the logic ( CER)

to ensure that the Obj makes sense.

Will the achievement of the lower-level objectives help achieve the higher-level objectives? Modify the objectives, if necessary by:
> Revising the statements to be more clear or accurate
> Adding new objectives that are relevant/necessary
> Removing objectives that are irrelevant or unnecessary
