LFA, the Logical Framework Approach, is an instrument for objective- oriented planning of projects. The method may also be used for analysis, assessment, follow-up and evaluation of projects. What the method is used for depends on the role of its users and their needs.
Sida, like many other donor agencies, has decided to use, and to encourage its cooperation partners to use the LFA method, as an instrument to improve the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of a development intervention. The systematic application of the method, with good judgement and sound common sense, can help to improve the quality, and hence the relevance, feasibility and sustainability of development cooperation.
