Assess Current
and Desired State of
Capacity
What is capacity assessment
• Is the process of identifying the
elements that facilitate or hinder the
performance of an LGU.

• It aims to determine the core factors that

need to be addressed to improve
performance

HOW TO ASSESS
CAPACITY?
The process of analyzing
capacity uses a framework
called the Capacity Pillars.

These are the factors that

indicate an LGU’s capacity or
its “ability to perform
functions to fulfill their
mission and
deliver desired results.”
 What is a Capacity Change Matrix?
⚫ Isused as a tool for systematically answering the following
questions:
◦ What are our capacity requirements given our performance goals
and objectives?

◦ What is the current state of our capacity?

◦ What is the desired state of capacity that will enable us to achieve

our performance goal?

◦ What interventions do we need to undertake to improve our

capacity?
Why use the Capacity Change Matrix?

⚫ Gain a shared understanding of the root causes of

the performance problems/gaps;
⚫ Demonstrate the need for a systems approach to
solving performance problems/gaps;
⚫ Used as basis for generating solutions that address the
root causes of the performance problems/gaps;
⚫ Used as basis for prioritizing the solutions.
