[Audio] The Logical Framework Approach Patrick Neil M. Santiago.

[Audio] Logical Framework Approach The Logical Framework Approach ( LFA) is a powerful strategic planning and project management methodology that has a wide range of applications. It is a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing and solving planning problems, as well as designing and managing their solutions (the approach). The logframe (the matrix) is the result of this analytical approach, and it summarizes what the project intends to do and how, what the key assumptions are, and how outputs and outcomes will be monitored and evaluated..

[Audio] Logical Framework Approach A Logical framework/ logframe is majorly a Project planning tool, but is one that can also be of aid during evaluations, especially in developing key evaluation questions. It is basically a construct that shows how the components of a project/ program relate in a form of hierarchy. The logical framework approach follows a hierarchical results oriented planning structure and methodology which focuses all project elements on the achievement of one project purpose..

[Audio] PHASES OF LOGICAL FRAMEWORK APPROACH. . .

[Audio] Preparatory Phase Analysis Phase Planning Phase 1. 2. 3..

[Audio] Preparatory Phase Determine the focus are to be analyzed. Study the focus area. Present results of fact finding in short report. Identify all stakeholders who have a relation to the focus area. Identify what the most important stakeholders contribute to and benefit from thr focus area. A. Determine the Focus Area: B. Analyze Stakeholders involved:.

[Audio] Analysis Phase Formulate problems from point of view of the identified stakeholders. Check whether all relevant problems of stakeholders are included. Check that problems are understood. Select a tentative " starter" problem..

[Audio] Planning Phase Preparing the log frame matrix. The compilation of Objectively Verifiable Indicators. Assessment of the risk factors/ assumptions. Planning of activities, and the allocation of the appropriate resources to achieve the completion of activities..
