Logical Framework Aproach

Problem analysis Activity planning
Objectives analysis Resources planning (budget)
Strategies analysis
Logical framework - Indicators- Describe project goals in objectively measurable way and set
up standards to be achieved in order to achieve general and specific goal of the project
- Indicator defines the difference between the baseline and the situation in the moment of new measurement -the change. It also needed to define the deadline for achievement of planed changes.
- The change can be measured in two ways: by quantity (for example: 50 persons received education), or by quality (for example: number of internet users increased for 50%)
Beneficiaries and Objectives
Beneficiaries are all who can, in any way, benefit from the project implementation
The difference can be made between:
Final beneficiaries: Overall objective: Those who benefit from the project on long term Achieved after the project completionbasis at the level of overall or final and have long term impact on wider territory objective (community or sector, for example and numerous populationchildren, youth, entrepreneurs, tourist workers,transport workers, etc.)
Direct beneficiaries:Those who will be directly positively influenced by the project on the level of specific Specific objective:goal i.e. project aim (project implementing Achieved in a course of the project, influencingorganizations, project partners, workshop beneficiaries directly involved in planned project and event participants, users activities and achieved results.of the equipment and services, etc.)

Logical FrameworkHierarchy of the objectives Example how to formulate statementsOverall objective To contribute to a family health, especially regarding families with
lower income, and improve the conditions of river eco system
Specific objective 1. Improved quality of the river watersResults 1.1. Decreased quantity of waste water drained to the river directly
by the households and factories
1.2. Established and efficiently implemented standards for waste water treatment
Activities (maybe not included in the matrix itself, but presented in a form of activity plan)
1.1.1. Conducting baseline survey of the households and industries
1.1.2. Capacity building of engeneers who will carry out enlargement of water supply network

1.1.4. Identification of respective subventions for factories to use clear technologies
1.1.5. Preparation and conducting of public info campaign and public awareness campaign
1.1.6. etc.
Logical FrameworkCheck of the intervention logic by applying test IF/THAN
When the hierarchy of objectives is read bottom up , it can be expressed in the following way: • IF adequate inputs/resources are provided, THAN activities can be undertaken;• IF activities are undertaken, THAN results can be achieved;• IF results are achieved, THAN the objective will be achieved and• IF the objective is achieved, THAN it will contribute to the general project
objective. It can be also read vice versa: • IF we want to contribute to general objective, THAN we have to achieve the goal;• IF we want to achieve the goal, THAN we have to obtain results;• IF we want to obtain results, THAN planed activities have to be carried out and• IF we want to carry out certain activities, THAN we have to apply identified
inputs/resources.
