Log FrameLogframe stands for 'Logical Framework', and is essentially a very simple method of tying in goals and objectives into inputs, processes and outputs. It is widely used by development agencies such as the World Bank. Logframe was developed in the 1970s mainly for infrastructure development projects, dating back to a mixture of strategic planning and management by objectives models, with all the strengths and weaknesses of such approaches on highly complex projects. Logframe is now used by many (if not most) development agencies (including
Aus Aid) in some form or other, but for much more than just infrastructure
outputs. When used by a team it can help tease out a hierarchy of objectives, indicators for each (with all the problems of indicators), and some core The main problem with logframe, as with any 'tool', is that while originally developed and envisaged as a longer process of reflection and correction, with updating of the matrix as and when conditions changed, it is now often carried out as a one-person desk exercise job of filling in a table that is never updated. Information on the logical framework is provided by the For a discussion of recent development in Log Frame see R.
