Advantages of the Logical Framework approach

The major advantages of the Logical Framework approach are:
ㅤ
It brings together in one place a statement of all key components of the project or programme.
Having all key components of projects or programme in a systematic, concise and coherent way helps you clarify and demonstrate the logic of how projects and programmes are expected to work. It can also help you separate the various levels in the hierarchy of objectives, and consequently ensure that inputs and outputs are not confused with each other or with objectives. This can be particularly helpful when there is a change of staff.
ㅤ
It meets the requirements of good project design and enables possible responses to past weaknesses in many designs.
It can help ensure that fundamental questions are asked and weaknesses are analysed in order to provide decision makers with better and more relevant information. It can also guide you in systematically and logically analysing the inter-related key elements which constitute a well designed project. This approach can help you improve planning by highlighting linkages between project elements and important external factors.
ㅤ
It is easy to learn and use
Effective training in the basics of the Logical Framework approach can be given in a few days. If this is combined with follow-up training and process consultancy to sort out difficulties a key group of project staff can be trained effectively in a short period of time.
