LFA provide
Summary of Key INFO of the Proj
LFA basis for
Imp, M, EV
The results chain / The objectives hierarchy
overall objective (Ass holds true)
specific objective reached–cont in achivement OO
expected results reached–cont in achivement SO
activities (imp—-reach)
resources (proper—imp)
inputs (resources, budget)**

The logframe does not show every detail of a project/programme. It is complemented with
proposal
budget
activity schedule
LFA is living document
dynamic + iterative process
reassessed + revised ———circumstances
TOC Def:
it is a way of thinking
process & product
involving deeper critical reflection
of the imapct of prog/proj
particpatory discussion with all ST of proj/prog
when? (used)
interantional development
by
wide range of actors
The ToC should be used as a
framework of LFA
the scope of the ToC is often
much greater than that of the programmatic logframe
A ToC explains
how activities are understood
to produce a series of results
that contribute to achieving final intended impacts.
It can be developed
for any level of intervention
