Logical Framework Approach: Showing Impact To Stakeholders

Use the logframe to win funding, involve beneficiaries in project design, monitor project outputs and evaluate outcomes

What you’ll learn
Understand different elements and uses of the Logical Framework Approach
Think through proposed social impact interventions in order to develop credible, fit for purpose project design that meet funders’ requirements
Produce a logframe matrix and apply logical framework analysis to current and new projects
Show funders and other stakeholders how progress and impact will be measured and evaluated

Requirements
No requirement other than working on social impact, humanitarian, public health, community and other social projects where the focus ismore on the impact of your intervention on the target communities and beneficiaries

Description
The Logical Framework Approach: Showing Impact to Stakeholders course is aimed at small and medium sized community and other social impact organisations, NGOs, nonprofits and managers of social projects that impact and bring change in the lives of communities and groups, to equip them with tried and tested tools that enable them to demonstrate in a structured manner how they will achieve desired outcomes and impacts and also to win funding for their projects. As funders and other stakeholders become increasingly outcome and impact focused, the utility of the Logical Framework Approach and the power of the process involved in establishing that critical link between outputs and outcomes provides those who use the approach with the ability to engage important stakeholders such as beneficiaries in a participatory process as well as carry funders along in monitoring and evaluation process that instill stakeholder confidence and shows the impacts achieved.The tools and techniques in the Logical Framework approach have been used extensively by international development organisations and other big charity organisations and this course enables the approach to be adopted and adapted to smaller local projects run by charities, community organisations, public health departments, nonprofits and other social impact organisations and groups.
