Issues to be aware of
An objective tree often shows many objectives that cannot all be reached at once or may seem
unrealistic, too ambitious or not feasible within the context of a possible intervention. Choices will
therefore have to be made, these choices are, however, made at a later stage. 

Description of the tool


It translates each negative statement in the problem tree into a positive statement (the
