Gap

This type of analysis shows:

❑ how large the difference is between the vision or ideal state of the LGU
and the existing situation; or

❑ how near the current situation in the city or municipality is to the vision as
defined by the constituents and the LGU.
It is useful to use
success
indicators from
the CDRA
document to input
to the Vision-
Reality Gap (VRG)
analysis.

The LGU may regularly conduct CDRA as necessary to build database

to show trend and facilitate M and E of plans and assess whether the
risks were addressed and new risks are prevented.
 Procedure in Vision – Reality Gap
Analysis
1. Review the sectoral descriptors and their corresponding
success indicators generated in connection with the
formulation of the vision statement.
❑Check indicators for the completeness of coverage
❑ See that indicators are expressed in terms of maximum
values or superlative degree.

2. Recall the characterization of the city as presented in the

Updated Ecological Profile or Sectoral Studies, CMCI, Traffic
Management Study, RaPIDS, SGLG, Child-Friendly Indicator,
old LGPMS indicators (governance), SCALOG (if applicable).
 Procedure in Vision – Reality Gap

3. If quantified values for both the success
indicators and their equivalent indicators in
the accomplished LDI Matrix are available,
simply subtract the current reality values in
the LDI Matrix from the success indicator

Risk Sensitive Vision – Reality Gap
Analysis
The VRG reflects the current reality of the locality which can
be based from the technical findings of the CDRA and the
LDIS.

It illustrates the advantages of using CDRA indicators as

success indicators for the Descriptor/Vision which allows the
LGU to easily measure the existing situation of their locality.

The regular conduct of CDRA will inform the changes in the

success indicators that will be important in the monitoring and
evaluation of the CDP.

The identified ‘gap’ from the VRG analysis can also be used
as a reference in identifying sectoral goals and objectives.

of Belison
2. The success indicators have already been identified but the group
may take time to review.
3. Provide quantitative and qualitative descriptions of current realities
and gaps.
4. Ensure that CDRA and relevant data are referred to.
5. Analyze the data and agree on the observed findings and explanation
of gaps.
6. Materials for workshop:
