SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. A SWOT analysis can be carried out for a specific project, organisation or even a whole sector. This analysis leads to a richer understanding of what the project or organisation can offer, the key weaknesses that need to be worked upon in order to succeed, and where to bring in external partners for assistance.
Completing a SWOT analysis involves identifying and mapping the internal and external factors that are assisting or hindering you in achieving your goal. The SWOT analysis provides a good framework for reviewing current strategies and directions, or even to test an idea while exploring solutions. It is particularly helpful to do a SWOT Analysis before the start of a project.

This is the tool we normally use for strategic planning in our office, but recently I used it with different audience- university students. They wrote down SWOT on colored mini-cards (different color assigned for each of the 4 components) and then worked in groups. Each group then presented their findings, and other groups commented if they had different views or additional points. Threats and Weakness parts were further analyzed by students and this was useful for them to identify most critical problems that they are facing or will be facing.
The other way that we used SWOT is modifying this a bit to further guide our strategic planning. instead of analyzing SWOT, we analyzed “where should we play, and how?” in order to win xxxxx. – We used this for planning of resource mobilization strategies and it was quite helpful in translating SWOT into something concrete as a strategy.

Our 27 yr. old nonprofit is currently working with 9 of our members, that includes both board and junior board members, to take a hard look at our nonprofit overall using SWAT among other studies to prepare a fresh strategic business plan for 2015. Our junior board is composed mostly of university students and the regular board of 7 professionals (five of whom have been on our board 27 years) and we could not have brought together a better mix to take a good look at our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Their fresh new eyes have brought important insight to this planning stage and the way we speak of our nonprofit. We are now moving toward a succession plan for the future with this new input from our young fresh members. This process is truly valuable.

I did my SWOT Analysis to analyse my nonprofit’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. I found that one of the major external threats to my organization is the conservative nature of Guatemala; it is hard to talk about sex and reproductive health when both are such taboo topics. I also found that in terms of weaknesses, we lack presence in Guatemala City, which is basically where all the major money is. We could definitely find ways to make WINGS more well-known in “the City”, that way we can look forward to larger donations at a local level. In terms of our strengths, our organization is very much one-of-a-kind in Guatemala. We do rural outreach through our mobile clinics; we go to the farthest, most remote, difficult to get to areas. We provide both short-acting and long-acting reversible contraception, as well as vasectomies and tubal ligations. We charge the lowest and affordable prices (a few dollars), and if the person cannot afford this, WINGS covers the services, free of cost for the patient. We are extremely organized; we constantly do monitoring so we can make sure to track our progress and what needs room for improvement. We have various programs that focus on indigenous women and on youth, and the reproductive health talks we have are given in the Mayan language of each community, so we can guarantee better comprehension. One of our biggest opportunities is to engage with nonprofits who are focusing on different topics. By merging our strengths, we can provide a wider array of services to Guatemalan communities in need.

I am using SWOT to help develop a self assessment for our team of teachers. By having each teacher do a personal SWOT analysis based on their own observations of both personal and organizational strengths and weaknesses we will better understand the opportunities and the barriers we face as an organization. Additionally, this will help each team member evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses and develop an action plan with strategies as to how they personally can improve. Collectively we will then all develop an action plan for the school with input from all members of the team’s input.

I use the SWOT analysis tool in many aspects of my work, but one unique way is using it with local indigenous farmers in Belize. Instead of having the grid, we’ve designed a tree, where different aspects of the tree represent the 4 different components of the SWOT analysis. This makes a more complex tool easier for farmers to relate to and understand.

We have used the SWOT for the past 4 years at our Board retreats to find out where our changes of direction need to be. We also used it to look at a program that women in our refugee groups came together to ask us to begin for them. A group of 20 women met with me to explain that the ESL classes that were provided for them by the County had two major drawbacks. 1. The emphasis was all on spoken English and they had no practice in reading and writing. 2. The majority of the students were Spanish speakers, and there was no assistance provided for speakers of other languages. In fact 5 of them reported that when they asked a question in English, it was usually answered in Spanish, which did not help. They asked for specific classes like the ones we provide for refugee children, for them. We explored with them, when such a class could be arranged to accommodate as many of them as possible and they agreed that Saturday mornings would be ideal.
An actual Saturday was chosen for the class to begin, but many called in to say their work schedules had been changed and they could not come. After much consultation with the original group, and with the outreach workers who were trying hard to meet a critical need so that the ladies could become more employable, we made an exploratory beginning with one student at a time. We had hoped to train three of the original group, to use one of the effective computer courses for children,using lap tops at our office. Then we hoped they would go out and spread the word about what they were learning, and how much fun it was. But each had a very specific reason for learning English. What they really wanted was to practice and learn with someone whose first language was English and at the same time either work together with the instructor, to get ready to pass the citizenship test, or to get ready to work in a particular setting. That meant a more one on one approach. The volunteer who had wanted to try the computer approach, now switched to announcing that she would meet with ladies wanting to improve their English skills, at a time that an outreach worker could provide transport for one or more ladies, and that the volunteer could get to the office for an hour and a half. The ladies who had a very clear idea about why they wanted to learn English quickly adapted to this system, and it worked well, because changes in work schedules could be accommodated, and the students could ask specific questions that were meaningful to them, and progress faster than if they had to wait for others to practice what they already knew. Now we are ready to recruit several new tutors with experience in job placement and/or preparation for citizenship tests, so that we can expand the number of students, and provide some of the sessions in the homes of ladies who cannot get to our office without transport.
The original volunteer prepared 6 ladies for successful citizenship tests, and has taught them and three others to read and write, each at her own level. The rise in self confidence of these students shows in the sparkle in their eyes, and their enthusiasm to continue learning. Now we can spread the word about what a difference learning to read and write makes. And we have a joyful job to do, finding the tutors to make it happen for as many as we can. We now know that helping the ladies in the refugee community define more deliberately just what they really want, is the most important part of the process. And we are reassured that asking refugee women who have never had a formal education, to be in a class, is not the best way to help them to develop their English skills.

The inputs from the community representatives brought a deeper understanding of its situational analysis and brought more light on what need to be undertaken to total transform it from its undesirable state
It is now evident that organizations as well as individuals need to undertake their situational analysis often to keep on track. Though the tool requires wide consultations, it brings out the exact picture of an organization

I did my SWOT Analysis to analyse my nonprofit’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. I found that one of the major external threats to my organization is the conservative nature of Ghana.
Our vision is to provide Ghana, especially environmental degraded communities with self-sustainable environment to live a healthy and comfortable life. Giving Life Nature Volunteer works in partnership with affiliated organisation’s.
The organization has educated a lot of schools, and communities in rural areas about environmental protection. People have benefited from the samples of seminars held in various places. On 19 November, 2016 the organization launched a project at West End University College
Duded “1 MILLION TREE PLANTING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT CAMPAIGN” ; which was published in a news paper called Daily Graphic in Ghana on 17 November,2016. (The publication and some pictures of the successful launching program can be find in organization website http://www.gilinavoghana.org. The launching was about tree planting and proper waste management.
Since Giving Life Nature Volunteer’s mission is to encourage, support and provide activities which promote environmental sustainability in environmental degraded communities in Ghana, we have planted some seeds at Tuba in the Ga South Municipality.
The organization has been implementing environmental activity projects such as distilling choked gutters, clearing of bushes and also engaging in National Sanitation projects since its establishment. It has experience in community mobilization, information sharing and education.
The organization has a lot difficult in implementation of the projects due to our weather condition and children are involve.Since it is about environment and it is non lucrative activities it does not attract local donors and the organization faces a lot of challenges by financing this local projects in our community.
Our previous project is same as this project and we are certain that the project at hand will bring about great benefits to individuals in rural communities and Ghana.

Watching the SWOT video has helped understand my organizations weakness and strengths, we are pretty young and new to the non profit industry but i have realized what was missing. In Nigeria where we implement our programs, it is very difficult to penetrate into the system because there are not commonly talked about like menstruation and sex . And i see that as a threat to my organization, our weakness is finding ways to reach and connect with the community. Our strength is the fact that we are providing what no other organization is doing, we are creating WASH Reading Rooms in schools with hand washing books, posters and hand washing station in front of the classroom, we also install a sanitary pad station inside the library so no girl misses school during her period and also providing menstrual hygiene education.
Our biggest is to reach out to other organization and collaborate with them.

This is a day to day tool in planning and evaluating competence of our performances in our organization. However, I used it to re-evaluate myself in performance of the whole organization and found that I need to improve much on my weaknesses, develop a mitigation plan on my threats and work effectively harder on my strength and open eyes towards opportunities. We used the same tool with all workers and volunteers and the results were amazing; we are able to marry all our strength and opportunities to reduce weaknesses and threats in our strategic planning.

This manual is a true tool for planning well on the threats, strengths, opportunities and weaknesses that a project may encounter in its implementation cycle. It is here that we would like to thank the publishers and the GG Team for making this medium available free of charge.The SWOTs help us to detect the strengths of our projects (resources implemented), weaknesses (resources we do not have), threats (social environment, political, donor disengagement from the project), opportunities (new horizons that the project opens in the future). In our case, we had considered the technical and administrative training of the project staff, advocacy with the political administrative and health authorities of the country.

We have to build on our strength and expand to be strong enough when it comes to our weaknesses. We have to partner with more like minded people, but to be careful that it won’t turn out to be a threat if they take your ideas and run. We must focus on our opportunities we have, and concentrate on wat we do good, to improve and be even better. The biggest weakness is financial independence. To save the endangered cheetah we must have land, the best food and medical care.

Dash, Allow me to agree with you on your sentiments. The best foot forward is the foot that positions itself appropriately to take the advantage of an opportunity. How else are companies making big sales and staying afloat in the face of stiff competitions? They DO NOT LET OPPORTUNITIES PASS THEM and so they grab every chance to make a kill in business.

I love using the SWOT analysis because it is uniquely designed to work both for my organization and myself as an individual. I realize that sometimes. it is my weaknesses as a person that affects the performance of the department I head or even the organization I lead.
Recently I went through a process called SYSTEMATIZATION and the process simply allows one to learn from recalled experiences and use the learning therefrom to inform present and future practice. SWOT analysis too enables one to we well aware of their strong points as well as ponder about their shortcomings.

In Agragamee we are working to take forward primary education of children. The SWOT analysis helped to clear away a lot of confusion on how to move to the next step of reaching out to Government Schools with innovative models. It helped us primarily match our strengths with the opportunities we have. It also helped in preparing for anything that might go wrong by identifying the threats and weaknesses. This has helped successfully design training modules for Government School teachers that would facilitate successful training programs for qualitative education int he Government schools.

For me, as a Manager of the organization, the most interesting part of the SWOT Analysis tutorial is the “T”. While it is easy to marvel about Strengths, be gloomy about Weaknesses and marvel at Opportunities that exist for me at MCFpanairobi, the Threats scare me for the mere fact of their reality of existence. Threats appear to me the serious drawbacks that my organization faces, and the sad fact is that in my case, some threats are beyond my control and so I am left wondering how i can mitigate them. An example here is the fact that my organization operates in the middle of Nairobi’s WORST slum dwelling with daily threats of insecurity for staff and the beneficiaries.
Overall, it is a good learning to do the SWOT analysis. Thank you Global Giving Team!

Our team of volunteers have developed a model to set up Children’s libraries in govt. schools in 2009 as we had to give up the then operating “Scholarships” program. Initially, we established libraries in schools recommended by our coordinators. A field study of libraries established in the first two years has revealed that the selection process was incorrect. We then decided to adopt an objective and unbiased model of selecting beneficiary schools. We have gradually evolved processes and systems to operate the libraries. Our accountability to donors and our volunteerism has helped some more Members with similar vision joining us and rendering a helping hand. For example, all our printing work was done free of cost. Premises for receiving books and making sets for libraries was given free to us. We have volunteers doing making sets of books. We have moved forward by motivating students to do brief notes on books read and giving prizes to them. And also we have replenished new books to existing libraries on a rotation basis till now. We are going to replenish all existing libraries with new books from next academic year. We are now regularly interacting with headmasters and library teachers. In this way, we are continuously fine tuning our program for effective utilization of libraries established by us.

We use SWOT analysis in all our work.
In planning new projects we are using SWOT analysis to inform us of our strength, weakness, opportunities and threats in undertaking a new project.
Strength : Means resources availability to undertake the project through fact finding of the facts and statistics.
Weakness: Means lack of resources and means to get the resources. Little knowledge of the area the project will be implemented are our weaknesses.
Opportunity: Partners that can help us with logistics and resources from donors are opportunities to explore.
Threats: New restrictive legislative issues by the Government and insecurity in project areas are threats.
However; lessons of SWOT analysis is very important tool for planning in both humanitarian and businesses entities.
Lack of critical SWOT analysis will lead to over/under estimation of the situation.

We have already started taking action on the lines detailed in the Webinar. For example, we speak to headmasters/library teachers of all library schools on telephone asking them specific questions about the functioning of library program like are they allowing students to operate the libraries, are students allowed to borrow books to take home, read and return and what are the problems in not lending books. Based on a response like not allowing students to operate the library as they do not have enough confidence in the ability of students ability to manage the library, we tell them that it is important that students are lent books to take home whether the books are issued by the students or teacher. Thus, instead of sticking to our guidelines of students operating the libraries, we told them that it is important to lend books, be it the student or teacher doing it. Similarly, in schools where books are not issued for fear of loss of books, we told them that we will replenish books on an annual basis and they should not bother about loss of borrowed books. We did this exercise in November and Dcember 2017.
We will interact with all library school HMs/Library teachers again in July 2018 to find out whether they have received the 40 new books sent to them and find out whether they have issued a book to each student before summer vacation (April-June) asking them to exchange books among themselves to read more books during vacation and whether students have submitted brief notes on books read by them. Based on the feedback, we will request them to recommend names of students with best write-ups to give prizes. We will once again talk to them in November/December 2018 to find out whether they have received the prizes for students and request them to give away the prizes on the Annual Day of the school.
This is not a sample survey but a complete count and this will continue to be done three times a year. We have come to this stage by listening to the study conducted on BREAD libraries by Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Hyderabad and taking action on its findings.
We have set up 1024 libraries in govt. schools in the last 9 years. Earlier, we were requesting headmasters and library teachers to adopt our guidelines. Some were following and others were not. Recent TISS Report has made us act and we have actually followed almost all suggestions made in the webinar like asking simple questions that got us specific answers. And these answers helped us to modify our systems to overcome the difficulties faced by schools. We can upload the responses to our interactions with headmasters and library teachers of schools, if required. That will show that more than 60% schools are lending books to students , 20% are lending selectively for specific purposes and the other 20% are not lending books to students. However, they have promised to lend books from now.

My Team used the SWOT at the start of the campaign to clarify our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. After much discussion of SWOT we began the campaign. During the second week of the campaign when things were not going smooth and we were not meeting our goals and expectations we reviewed the SWOT and determined that we needed to focus on and manage the daily output from our team. Urgent memos were issued by the Team Leader and we immediately noticed a 100% increase in our output and production with increased donations from donors. We learned from this experience that we had to be pro-active in our approach and use all available strategies in our fund raising approach including texting, emailing, phone calls and face to face appeals for donations.
