Logical Framework Essentials

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE LOGICAL FRAMEWORK APPROACH

The Logical Framework Approach is a foundation of Results-Based Management. It’s also a cornerstone of an effective Monitoring & Evaluation / reporting system, and the basis of any successful project proposal.

In this short course we look at the difference between the Logical Framework Approach (the methodology for project identification, design, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation) and the Logical Framework itself (the matrix).

We will then examine and deconstruct the Logical Framework, before looking at how it fits together, connecting the internal logic of the project (its results chain) with the external environment (assumptions). We wrap up by looking at the main steps of the LFA.

The course is free, and you will have access for 30 days after signing up.

Best of luck
