“ The problem tree introduced
by Asia Catalyst is a very good
technique for us to explore
complex issues. With it, we
can conduct inquiry and find
the root of problems facing our
community. If we keep using this
technique in the future, both for
advocacy and in our counseling
programs, we will solve
increasingly complex problems. ”
