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 analyzing 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 summarizes what the
project intends to do and how, what the key assumptions are, and how outputs
and outcomes will be monitored and evaluated.
