Results Based Management: Logical Framework Matrix (LFM) Abeer Shakweer, Ph.D., Planning and Monitoring Manager Science and Technology Development Fund December 30th, 2009
LFM is a Result Based Management (RBM) tool for systematic planning, implementation , monitoring, and evaluation of projects
Results oriented- not activity driven logically sets objectives and their causal relationships shows whether objectives have been achieved: Indicators (for M&E) describes external factors that influence the project’s success: assumptions and risks Features of LFM
Components of LFM 3.Basic Steps and ElementsPlanning PhaseProject Planning Matrix (PPM) • Vertical Logic • Identifies what the project intends to do and achieve • Clarifies the causal relationship • Specifies important assumptions and risks GOAL Objectives OUTPUTS ACTIVITIES • Horizontal Logic • Identifies the source and means by which indicators will be verified • Specifies indicators to measure progress Aims measured by indicators through information collected and presented in specified means of verification
WHY the project is carried out (development objective, immediate objectives) WHAT the project is supposed to produce (outputs) HOW the project is going to achieve the outputs (activities) HOW the success of the project can be measured (indicators) WHERE the data can be found (means of verification) WHICH external factors influence the project (assumptions) LFM is a “Summary” of the Project
