• Identification of difficulty areas with the log frame design process

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

Concepts Used in Log Frame 

• Goal
• Development Objective (D.O)
• Outputs
• Component Activities-stating component activities on the log frame
• Indicators
• Means of verification
• Assumptions
• Stating project outputs
• Stating project outcomes

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

LFA Phases

• The Analysis Phase
• The problem Phase
• The Strategy Phase
• The Planning Phase

The role of LFA in Project

• LFA in project cycle management
• LFA and community project ownership
• Role of LFA and project effectiveness and efficiency
