B. Conclusions of the self-analysis. Let’s assume that using our same
example, this self-analysis process leads us to the following conclusions:
STRENGTHS:
• Strong grassroots base, including
the population affected by the
problem.
WEAKNESSES:
• A lack of planning experience.
• Highly credible leaders. • Little understanding about
how the state functions.
• The clear and unified vision
and mission of our organization.
• Insufficient access to concrete
and up to date information about the
problems being addressed.
• Willingness to work. • Limited economic resources.
C. Identification of possible solutions to the weaknesses identified. When
this internal review (self-analysis) is completed, we will have detected
some weaknesses (the four in the table above). We then need to look for
solutions to the weaknesses that have been detected. The following table
contains examples of how to improve such weaknesses:
WEAKNESSES:
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
• A lack of planning experience. • Organize a workshop that
provides in-depth coverage of techniques
for planning political advocacy
campaigns.
• Little understanding about
how the state functions.
• Insufficient access to concrete
and up to date information about the
problems being addressed.
• Plan training workshops about
the functions of the Supreme Court
and the Legislative and Executive
branches of government.
• Plan joint research with a university
or research institute.
• Limited economic resources. • Develop a project and plan
for seeking funding from international
donors.
