Logical Framework:

• In most of cases needs the improvement!!!

• Work with the Applicant on it – to make it consistent with the Description of the Action

• Ideally a contract to be signed with a proper Logical framework:

• It will help to the Applicant and partners in Action’s implementation

• Will serve to the monitoring purposes

• But keeping it aside the contract and still using for monitoring purpose could also be an option

A different, ”third” logic of working!

• Identify which parts of the AForm corresponds to each level of the Logframe

• Start from Results and Outputs

• The most important part, usually more or less well formulated

• To be checked against AForm, formulations adjusted if needed

• Normally shouldn’t change during the project implementation, whereas Activities could be adjusted

• How do you reflect Outputs, which are not in the Logframe but are undispensable to formulate the Results?

LogframeLogframe

• When the results are formulated, check the Activities, which contribute to them (passing by Outputs)

• Make sure that all the activities are attributed to a Result

• The Activities are sufficient to achieve the results

• Check that indicators are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)

• Realistic indicators

• Check sources of verification...

• Risks/assumptions very important!

• Ex: reducing polution of the river by 20%, but it’s poluted upstream

LogframeLogframe

• Is the vertical logic complete and accurate?

• Are the indicators and sources of verification available and reliable?

• Are assumptions and preconditions realistic?

• Are risks acceptable?

• Is the probability of achieving the objectives high?

• Are programme principles taken into account? (cross-border impact, equal opportunities, etc.)

• Are the expenses justified by the expected benefits?
