A situation analysis helps you better understand your local situation. It provides you with evidence plan actions for your challenge.
For your situation analysis, you need to:
1. Describe the most important challenge you face in your work.
2. Turn this into a question, to help you work out what you need to know.
3. Gather as much information and data as you can to help answer your question.
4. Summarize your key findings.
5. Identify what important things you still do not know that would help you answer your question.
6. Find simple ways in which you could gather this missing information.
7. Based on what you have discovered, identify actions that could be taken to address your challenge.
Based on this, you will prepare a brief summary to explain this to others (such as your colleagues, your supervisor, or your leadership team).

Your situation analysis should be:
* Specific: Focus on what is specific about your local situation, not generalities. Use your own words. Do not copy and paste. Summarize or reference information that is already available elsewhere.
* Focused: Zero in on a single question - everything you do in your situation analysis should help you answer this question.
* Data guided: Your analysis should be based on data and evidence. Use data sources that are locally available to you. If data is incomplete or evidence is weak, explain why it is still useful for your analysis. Spend time reviewing and thinking through what “story” the existing data tells you.
* Relevant. Your situation analysis should tell you what you need to do next. If it does not help you identify concrete action steps you can take to start to tackle your challenge, you need to go back and redefine your question until it does.
Gaps in the data: what to do if there is something you do not know?
* Focus on what you do know. Use information and data that already exist. If they are imperfect, acknowledge this as a limitation and explain how this affects your findings.
* What you do not know points to the need for future investigation (e.g., through a field visit).
* Treat situation analysis as an iterative process. This means that you do it once, and then review and revise as you learn more.
For example, if your question is about “why” a particular challenge or problem exists, look for root cause(s). If you do not have all the information you need to get to the root cause, draw conclusions where you can and acknowledge what you do not know.
