International Training on LFA for Designing of Development Projects

International Training Programme on Logical Framework Analysis for
Designing Development Projects



18 - 23 February 2008
New Delhi, India



The consideration for result-orientation and greater accountability
has fostered a project based development paradigm with the underlying
philosophy of "Say what you do and do what you say". While the project
based approach has ensured optimal resource allocation, various tools
of result-based project management have been evolved and adopted for
enhancing efficacy of development projects.



Logical Framework Analysis (LFA) is one such analytic tool for result-
based management that offers a systematic and logical approach for
designing projects. The LFA process helps to think through all the
factors that should be considered for planning a successful project.
LFA ensures that the basic premises are probed extensively and the
interrelated key elements are analyzed systematically so that
necessary, significant and relevant information is provided to
decision-makers for arriving at a well-designed project. Although
essentially a process undertaken during the planning stage of a
project, the LFA summary is a living document consulted and altered
throughout the project's life cycle. Further, LFA also facilitates
common understanding and better communication between decision-makers,
managers and other stakeholders involved in the project. Learning's
from projects all across the globe and cutting across sectors has
established LFA as one of the most efficient tools for designing,
implementation, monitoring and evaluating development projects.



With this premise, Sambodhi announces the International Training
Programme on Logical Framework Analysis for Designing Development
Projects from 18-23 February 2008 at New Delhi. The programme is for
strategic and tactical level development professionals working with
Donor agencies, Government Departments, NGOs and consultants involved

development projects. Earlier programmes of Sambodhi in the project
management series have been subscribed by leading development agencies
across the globe both donors and implementers. DFID, EU, UNDP, UNICEF,
OxFAM, CRS, Actionaid, World Vision are part of the global clientele
