Monitoring & Evaluation: Logical Framework Aproach 20th - 24th Nov

Course Tittle:Monitoring & Evaluation: Logical Framework Aproach. INTRODUCTION The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is a highly effective strategic planning and project management methodology with wide application. It comprises an integrated package of tools for analysing and solving planning problems and for designing and managing their solutions (the approach). The product of this analytical approach is the logframe (the matrix), which summarises what the project intends to do and how, what the key assumptions are, and how outputs and outcomes will be monitored and evaluated. DURATION 5 days TOPICS TO BE COVERED Introduction to Logical Framework Approach in program design What is a frame work? Types of frame works-Theoretical framework, Conceptual framework, Logical framework Evolution of the logical framework Difference between a log frame and LFA The causal logic, the vertical logic, the horizontal logic Defining the logical framework Key steps in the Logical framework approach Strengths and limitations of the Log frame The Log frame and M&E The Objective hierarchy Project Strategy – (Objective Hierarchy) Logical Framework - Format LFA and Problem Analysis Overview of Project Cycle, Planning, Implementation, & M&E Programmatic Language Used in PCM PCM Definition of Terms Project Hierarchy of Results Logframe & the problem tree The problem analysis Steps in generating a problem tree Building a problem tree Criteria for Selecting a Problem Sample Causal Tree Generating Objective Tree Group Assignment on Problem Tree Project Outcomes Types of outcomes Setting Outcomes Identifying Outcomes Tracking Outcomes Outcome Indicators Planning for unexpected outcomes Common challenges organizations face when setting project outcomes How to demonstrate project outcomes when designing a project Outcome and Impact assessment-how to track and assess/evaluate the difference you have made/are making Why donors are increasingly getting interested in project outcomes as conditions precedent to the granting of (additional) project funding Link Between M&E in the Logical Framework Complementary Roles of Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation Evaluation Means Information Evaluation Addresses Types of Monitoring Key Types of Monitoring Traditional Monitoring M&E Framework and Sampling How to write an M&E Framework Understanding Outputs, Outcomes and Goals Developing indicators Practicals: Building a Sample framework from Scratch Introduction to sampling Differentiating common sampling methods The sample size calculator Practicals: sampling live data Data Analysis with MS Excel/ SPSS Descriptives and inferentials Skew and Distribution Measures of location Data Cleaning Data management Frequency tables with pivot tables and COUNTIFS Data visualization Cross tabulations Bivariate and Multivariate analysis Event: Monitoring & Evaluation: Logical Framework Aproach.
