Introduction to the LFA2.3. The planning phaseThe main output of the LFA is the logframe matrix (short form for logicalframework matrix) – it could also be called the “product” of the LFA. Thelogframe matrix is a format for presenting the results of the LFA as aprocess, and is developed on the basis of the LFA tools applied earlier duringthe analysis phase:Out of the strategy analysis (based on problem and stakeholder analysis andthe analysis of objectives) the different levels of objectives are beingtransposed into the first column of the matrix (project strategy). During theplanning phase of the LFA it is further elaborated which external factors arecrucial for the projects success (assumptions), where to find the informationrequired to assess its’ success (indicators and sources of verification) whichmeans are required to achieve the project’s objectives and what the projectwill cost. On this basis activity and resource schedules can be established.Reader2.3.1. The Logframe MatrixIt is true that the logframe matrix is comprised of 16 “boxes”, but it is nottrue that establishing a logframe matrix means to “fill in the boxes”. Behindevery “box” stands careful analysis and logical reasoning that has to bepursued before filling in the boxes – which is only the final activity, a product- the summary of a longer process. If this often time-consuming process isnot carried out, poor, unstructured project design and a lack of ownershipamong stakeholders can be the result. LFA is not a matrix it is anapproach. The quality of a project summary (presented in form of a matrix)always depends on the quality of the analysis work done before establishingthe summary.What was said earlier about the LFA as a whole approach can also only betrue for the logframe matrix as its principal outcome: flexibility in its useis essential as it is based on the analysis of an existing situation, andThe LogframeDSElogframe matrixas a format forpresenting theresults of theLFA processupdating thelogframe matrixProject StrategyDevelopmentObjectiveObjectivelyVerifiableIndicatorsSources ofVerificationAssumptionsImm ediateObjectiveOutputsActivities Means CostPre-conditions21
