Using the Logical Framework for Sector Analysis and Project Design: A User's Guide
Asian Development Bank | June 1998
Abstract
The logical framework (also known as “logframe” and “project framework”) is presented as a conceptual and analytical tool for undertaking sector analysis, project planning, and project management. While, traditionally, the logical framework is a 16-box frame, this guide emphasizes the basic concepts and underlying processes inherent in applying the logical framework. These concepts and processes are far more important to sector analysis and project design than the mere mechanical use of the 16-box frame to describe and summarize the major elements of a project. The logical framework process is distinct from the logical framework matrix. Thus, this guide clarifies concepts such as “objectives,” “outputs,” “performance indicators,” “impact,” “assumptions,” and “cause-effect analysis.” It also indicates how these contribute to the process of: • systematically and logically analyzing sector performance, • planning interventions, and • monitoring project implementation. The guide uses a simplified example from the transport sector to illustrate these concepts and processes.
