Session 3 Conceptual Model 1

Session Objectives Prepare a conceptual model that illustrates: • The current situational dynamics at play in a selected project site (demographic, social, environment dynamics) • The causal linkages and assumptions between the factors. 2

Designing a PHE Approach • Social and environmental factors linked to food insecurity in coastal Philippines 3

Building a Conceptual Framework • Vision – the goal or desired conditions (targets) at the site which the project aims to influence • Factors include direct threats, indirect threats, and opportunities • Each factor has one or more stakeholders associated with it 4

TEAM TASK – Conceptual Model 1. Create a conceptual model of the situation your current project addresses and include the problem/issue you want your expanded project to address: • First, determine the overall vision for your expanded project and your overarching targets, then Identify opportunities and threats. Map them to show causal relationships. Use arrows to show the linkages. Use packet of cards and dots to map your model on flipchart. • • 2. Make a list of the data gaps. Time: 60 minutes Note: In 15 minutes, the trainers will check your Vision-Target part of the model 10
