       Project cycle management
    • Is a methodology for the preparation, 
     implementation and evaluation of projects 
     based on the principles of the logical 
     framework approach
    • It describes management activities and 
     decision-making procedures used during the 
     life cycle of a project 
     – Key tasks 
     – Roles and responsibilities 
     – Key documents and decision options
   The logical framework approach
  • The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is an 
   open set of tools – for project design and 
   management
  • It’s purpose is to provide a clear and rational 
   framework for planning envisioned activities and 
   determine how to measure a project’s success, 
   while taking external factors into account
      Why a logical framework approach?
        •  It is a clear and concise visual presentation of all the key 
           components of a plan and a basis for monitoring: 
            -  How the project will work
            -  What it is going to achieve
            -  What factors relate to its success
            -  How progress will be measured
        •  Ensures the relevance, feasibility and sustainability of a 
           project
        •  Ensures that fundamental questions are asked and 
           weaknesses are analysed
        •  Identifies measurements/indicators of the project’s 
           achievements
