Abstract
Assessment is done by the responsible officer in the office, possibly assisted and supported by technical services and consultants. He/she uses all available information (usually from existing documents). available information on the existing situation is used to build up a picture of the real problems and corresponding objectives. Then a logical framework matrix containing the intervention logic and related information is built up as far as possible and gaps in knowledge and questions about the logic of the intervention or the assumptions are used to determine what additional steps are needed (for instance, questions are written into the terms of reference for study missions). Once the additional information is available the matrix can be completed and tested for logic and coherence
Description
The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) enhances project planning by identifying real problems, stakeholder perspectives, and designing coherent, sustainable interventions. It promotes joint analysis through workshops, builds objective and problem trees, and ensures logical consistency. The process emphasizes sustainability by including crucial assumptions, preconditions, and post-project responsibilities. LFA helps link policy, activities, and impact within a structured, participatory framework.
