How To Prepare A Logical Framework Version 2
How To Prepare A Logical Framework Version 2
to Prepare a Logical
Framework Matrix
6 Steps
(1) Define the main objectives or purposes
(2) Define the context of the plan
(3) Formulate the program/project interventions
(4) Prepare a work breakdown structure for each
intervention
(5) Using the intervention logic, identify important external
factors that may affect project execution and results
(6) Determine how project results, accomplishments and
important assumptions will be tracked or monitored
