The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is a long established activity design methodology.

The LFA is an analytical, presentational and management tool which can help planners and managers • analyse the existing situation during activity preparation • establish a logical hierarchy of means by which objectives will be reached • identify the potential risks to achieving the objectives, and to sustainable outcomes • establish how outputs and outcomes might best be monitored and evaluated • if desired, present a summary of the activity in a standard format, and • monitor and review Activities during implementation.
