They can be dividedin<strong>to</strong> three phases: phase 1: from project concept or idea <strong>to</strong> work program approval; phase 2:from work programme approval <strong>to</strong> project approval; phase 3: from project approval <strong>to</strong>project completion. (See respective document). What is meant by stages here is moredirectly related <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> project phases <strong>the</strong>mselves, such as project idea, project identification,project formulation (analysis and planning), project implementation, moni<strong>to</strong>ring & evaluation.These stages are accompanied by processes such as decision-taking, learning, feed-back,etc. Also see United Nations Development Programme (UNDP): Global Environment Facility.Information Kit on Moni<strong>to</strong>ring and Evaluation. 1999, p. 2.9 The European Commission worked at <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> 1990ies on <strong>the</strong> creation of a newframework for project planning and evaluation, which should extend <strong>the</strong> LFA devised in <strong>the</strong>1970ies in <strong>the</strong> USA. The result was <strong>the</strong> Project Cycle Management (PCM) model, in which LFAwas embedded. Also see Eggers, Hellmut W., p. 69.6
