What is it?
The essential first step for HRBA
A technique for identifying causes of a
problem which can then be used to

formulate appropriate responses
We can map the problem and its causes in
the form of a problem tree

Group Work: Causality analysis/problem tree
Using the information from the case

study
Formulate the problem in terms of
what is happening, to whom and
where write it on a card
Discuss and identify the immediate,
underlying and root causes
Build a problem tree
Use the problem tree to identify the
rights standards and principles that
are not being fulfilled

Analysis
Analysis
1. From your causal analysis, select one of
the causes in which you want to focus on
and highlight why you chose it
2. Identify a main right-holder and a critical
claim
3. Identify the max. 3 duty-bearers who
should do something about that claim
and their most critical obligations
