Where are we?
EFSA Process
Adapt conceptual framework & objectives
Prepare analysis plan: indicators, data, sources
Collect, review secondary data
Collect primary data
Conduct situation analysis
Conduct forecast analysis
Analyse response options
Make response recommendations
Prepare report

What is an EFSA
analysis plan?
 the link with the conceptual framework that sets out
your hypotheses
 a table detailing data to be collected from secondary
& primary sources & how those data will be analyzed
 a guide to the analytical process (it should be
prepared before designing data collection tools)
Advanced EFSA Learning Programme
How is an analysis
plan prepared?
Each objective of the EFSA is considered with
regards to the following:

Which info is needed to reach objectives?

How can the info be collected?

From which source(s) can the info be
collected?

Wrap-up
 Analysis planning helps ensure efficiency
(only useful information is collected) and
thoroughness (all necessary information is
collected)
 Analysis plan helps us to understand the
feasibility of the EFSA we are planning:
what is possible, what is not
