Learning objectives

* After this lecture participants +ill understand

the purpose" structure and ho+ to build a

logical frame+ork matrix ,logframe

(he logical frame+ork approach

* (he logical frame+ork approach +as

developed in the late ./01s to assist the &!

Agency of International Development,&!A#D as a tool for2

that can be monitored

(he logical frame+ork matrix

* Also kno+n as the log frame +hich provides thedocumented product of the analytical process

* #t consists of a matrix +ith four columns and four

ro+s ,or more" +hich summari4e the key elementsof a project plan

3 (he project5s hierarchy of objectives* Project description or intervention logic

Logframe - ho+ do +e use it8

* (he logframe is a format for presenting the results ofthe LFA as a process and is developed on the basis ofthe LFA tools applied earlier during the analysis phase

3 $lear statement of +hat should be accomplished ,outputs3 $lear statement of important results that can be expected in

the short to medium-term ,purpose and in the long run ,goal

* When the logframe has been completed it is used todesign further scheduling

$onnecting the analysis to the logframe

* We kno+ +hat +e have to do to tackle the focal problem by

transforming the problems into objectives and selecting

manageable tasks by doing the strategy analysis

3 #dentifies +hat the project itends to do and achieve

3 $larifies the causal relationships ,means to end

3 !pecifies important assumptions and risks
