  Logical Framework Approach
• 2.
  Logical Framework Approach A logical framework is a tool for objective oriented planning and managing development projects.  A Log frame is another name for Logical Framework, a planning tool consisting of a matrix which provides an overview of a project’s goal, activities and anticipated results.  The logical framework approach (LFA) has been one of the classic tools of aid management.  Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is a systematic planning procedure for complete project cycle management

  Logical Framework Approach The planners, economists, project managers, and government officers have faced critical situation during project formulation, implementation and evaluation.  To avoid this situation, Logical Framework has originated and developed for the world countries.

  Logical Framework Approach The LFA was first developed by Practical Concepts Incorporated in 1969 for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to assist with project design and appraisal .  Since then, widely used by international organisations and international NGOs: notably, GTZ, DFID, NORAD and WB, ADB, FAO, UNDP etc  An outcome of using the LFA is the production of a 4X4 matrix (commonly known as the ‘‘logframe’’) which is a tool for analyzing and presenting project strategies.

  Logical Framework Approach Alog frame summarizes, in the standard format: • What the project is going to achieve? • What activities will be carried out to achieve its outputs and purpose? • What resources(inputs) are required? • What are the potential problems which could be affect the success of the project? • How the progress and ultimate success of the project will be measured and verified?

  Logical Framework Matrix
• 7.
  Logical Framework Approach •The vertical axis of the matrix presents a hierarchy of objectives and assumptions (or preconditions) based on cause-and-effect logic known as the ‘‘vertical logic’’ of the project. • The horizontal axis of the matrix defines the means by which project progress can be verified at each level in the vertical logic and is known as the ‘‘horizontal logic’’ of the project.
• 8.
  Logical Framework Approach ALogical Framework consists of a matrix with four columns and four or more rows. The matrix summarize the key elements of the project plan including:  The first column captures the project's hierarchy of objectives. This is the project’s development pathway or intervention logic. Although different donors use different terminology, a Log frame typically summarizes the following in its first column: • The goal / impacts/ outcomes • The purpose/ immediate objective • The outputs • The activities
• 9.
  Logical Framework Approach The second column exhibits the Indicators- a quantitative or qualitative measurement which helps to measure changes connected to an intervention. In essence “a description of the project’s objectives in terms of quantity, quality, target group(s), time and place”  The third column represents the data source, or means to verify the indicator.  Lastly, the final column lists the Assumptions -the external factors or condition outside of the project’s direct control that are necessary to ensure the project’s success.

  Logic Model
• 11.
  Logical Framework Approach The project goal constitutes the long-term vision for the project. It is the higher level objective towards which the project is expected to contribute.  Project Purpose states the expected outcomes or direct effects of the project.  Outputs denotes the services that the beneficiaries will receive from the project and what the project will be responsible for delivering.  Activities/inputs is undertaken by the project in order to produce outputs

  Outcomes Outputs Activities Inputs Impact Financial human andmaterial resources Actions undertaken to transform inputs into outputs ‘Expect to see’ The end products and services; deliverables from the activities; within team control ‘Want to see’ Immediate effects on clients Beyond team control but achievable given necessary conditions ‘Hope to see’ Long-term development improvements to which we contribute The results chain Based on causality, attribution and contribution
