The logical framework is presented as a conceptual and analytical tool for undertaking sector analysis, project planning, and project management. While, traditionally, the logical framework is a 16-box frame, this guide emphasizes the basic concepts and underlying processes inherent in applying the logical framework.

This guide clarifies concepts such as

• objectives
• outputs
• performance indicators
• impact
• assumptions
• cause-effect analysis

It also indicates how these contribute to the process of systematically and logically analyzing sector performance; planning interventions; and monitoring project implementation.

The guide uses a simplified example from the transport sector to illustrate these concepts and processes.
