PDIA Approach.- The Guatemalan municipal context is highly complex. Trickle Up faces a scenario of uncertainty and risk due to political instability, corruption, lack of resources, and public officials with inadequate skills and abilities. Given this scenario, the organization has difficulty expanding the implementation of the Graduation Program to other municipalities in the country.

Thus, I proposed to use the Problem Driven Iterative Adaptation (PDIA) process, developed by the Building State Capability faculty from the Harvard Kennedy School. It is an approach that focuses on problems and not solutions and follows a step-by-step process that allows flexible learning and adaptation.

Through this approach, the Trickle Up team will analyze problems into their root causes, identify entry points, look for possible solutions, take action, sustain authority and legitimacy, reflect on what they have learned, adapt, and then act again. It is a dynamic process with tight feedback loops that build a solution that fits the local context.
