 SESSION VI. ANALYZING THE BARANGAY SITUATION – Situation Analysis (SA)
using the Problem-Solution Finding Matrix (PSFM)

Why is SA important?
 so communities will have
a complete
understanding of the
development concerns in
the barangay.

 a comprehensive
situational analysis could
result to a good or
effective plan.

 so GIGO will be
prevented

 SESSION VI. ANALYZING THE BARANGAY SITUATION – Situation Analysis
using the Problem-Solution Finding Matrix (PSFM)

What is a good situational analysis (SA)?

 contains an accurate and comprehensive
view of the conditions of a barangay. If the SA is good, this will
not happen
 based on adequate, relevant and reliable
data and information.

 takes into consideration the different needs

of men and women in the barangay.

 takes into consideration climate change

and other natural hazards and their
impacts to the social, economic,
infrastructure and environmental attributes
of the barangay.

using the Problem-Solution Finding Matrix (PSFM)

The problem-solution-finding matrix (PSFM): a

tool to analyze the situation

The PSFM is used in the CDP formulation. For purposes of

the BDP, the PSFM will cover the following elements:

 Observed findings
 Explanation of gaps
 Implications when not addressed
 Organizational Needs Analysis
– Capacity Gaps

It provides a structured analysis for barangays to consolidate, aggregate and

summarize the SA.

Situational Analysis: Using the Problem-Tree-Analysis

In the absence of a ready data, the

Problem- Tree Analysis (PTA) shall
be used to determine issues in the
community.

The PTA can facilitate the analysis of

the situation if CBMS, CDRA and
other data are not available.

The PTA helps to find solutions by

mapping out the cause and effect
around an issue.
The problem tree analysis can break
down broad topics into smaller issues

2. Use the PSFM in organizing the data analysis.
3. Follow the guide questions. You may revise the question according to realities in the your barangay.
