ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Situation analysis

Okay, kiddo, let me explain it to you in simple words. Situation analysis is like taking a picture of your surroundings so that you can see what's going on around you.

Just like when we take a picture, we can see things that we might have missed or didn't notice before. When we do a situation analysis, we take a closer look at what is happening in a particular situation or environment.

For example, imagine you and your friend are playing in a park. You want to know what is happening around you, so you look around to see if there are any other kids playing, if there are any animals, or if there is a playground nearby.

Similarly, in a situation analysis, we look at different factors like the environment, people, facilities, resources, challenges, and opportunities. This helps us understand the situation better and make better decisions.

So, whenever you want to know what's happening around you or want to make a decision, it's essential to do a situation analysis, just like taking a picture of your surroundings.
