Q

Five criteria in problem selection:

MVIAF

A
  1. Magnitude of the problem
  2. Vulnerability to change
  3. Impact to society
  4. Administrative support
  5. Financial requirement
19
Q
  • deaths cause by the disease
  • prevalence
  • incidence of the disease in the locality as measured by morbidity and mortality rates

high rates gain high scores

A

Magnitude of the problem

20
Q
  • presence or absence of the technology
  • measured by the effectiveness of an intervention to address the disease

the more effective the intervention, the higher the score

A

Vulnerability to change

21
Q
  • scope of the population that is affected by the disease directly or indirectly.

high score = ???

A

Impact to society

high communicability
high degree of disability
high amount of money lost

22
Q
  • extent of local executives’ endorsement of the project
  • presence of personal motivation to support programs or health in general gain higher scores
A

Administrative support

23
Q
  • amount of money needed
  • larger amount = lower score

conduct problem prioritization
follow the criteria

A

Financial requirement

24
Q
  • identifying what the main problems are
  • establishing cause & effect relationship
  • key purpose of analysis is the identification of root causes & they are subsequently address, not just the symptoms
A

Problem analysis

25
Q

undertaken as a group learning activity:
different stakeholders who can contribute technical & local knowledge.

A

Problem analysis

26
Q

provides a good foundation on which to develop a set of relevant and focused objectives

A

Clear & Comprehensive analysis

27
Q

process is as important as?

A

product

28
Q

project activity should be taken as?

A
  • learning activity
  • opportunity for different views & interest to be presented & discussed
29
Q

One main tool used in problem analysis

A

Problem tree

30
Q

Problem tree preparatory stage:

A
  1. clarify scope of the investigation or analysis
  2. inform yourselves further
  3. identify relevant stake holders
  4. inform participants to be uselful & productive
  5. conduct analysis
31
Q

Steps in conducting problem tree analysis:

Main & 4Cs

A
  1. identify & listing the main problems
  2. identifying core problems
  3. identifying cause & effect
  4. identifying cause & effect (ulit X-X)
  5. checking the logic
32
Q
  • using contributions from the group
  • list all negative statements
  • print each problem statement on a card
  • display on the wall
A

identifying & listing main problems

33
Q
  • identify consensus core problems linked to most negative statements
  • print precise definition of the core problems
  • display on the wall
A

identifying core problems

34
Q

distribute the negative statements according to causes or effect

A

identifying cause & effect

35
Q
  • leading to the core problem
  • listed or placed above the core problem
A

effect/s

36
Q
  • resulting from the core problem
  • listed or placed below the core problem
A

cause/s

37
Q
  • clear but very general in nature
  • affect not only the issue at hand but almost any health problem
  • placed at the side of the problem tree
A

General constraints

38
Q
  • further structure the statements
  • what leads to this?
  • select from the other cards the most likely cause and place it below the chosen statement
A

identifying cause & effect

39
Q
  • combing to produce an effect
  • place side by side below the resulting effect
A

2 or more causes

40
Q
  • resulting from a cause
  • place side by side above the cause
A

multiple effects

41
Q
  • Pick out one card from the top of the problem tree
  • what leads to, or causes that?
A

checking the logic

42
Q

use arrows to show?

A

cause & effect relationship

43
Q
  • done by preparing an objective tree
  • problem statements into objective statements
  • means-end relationship between objectives
  • Leads directly into developing the projects’ narrative descriptions in the logical framework matrix

problem statments are?
objective statments are?

A

Objective analysis

negatives
positives

44
Q
  • done by preparing an alternative tree
A

alternative analysis

45
Q

should demonstrate the main alternative options have been considered & assessed

A

project/ program design

46
Q
  • not a linear process
  • an interative process
  • does not move mechanically from one step to the next
  • always in forward direction
  • arrive automatically at the best solutions
A
