2. LFM is a
Result Based Management (RBM) tool for
systematic planning, implementation , monitoring,
and evaluation of projects

4. Features of LFM
• Results oriented- not activity driven
• logically sets objectives and their causal relationships
• shows whether objectives have been achieved: Indicators
(for M&E)
• describes external factors that influence the project’s
success: assumptions and risks

5. Indicators
• Measures to verify to what extant the results are achieved.
• Specify how the achievement of an objective can be verified or
demonstrated
• Provide a basis for Monitoring and Evaluation
• Quantitative and Qualitative

6. Means of Verification
• Source and means by which indicators will
be verified
 field verification
 Benchmarking
 project documents
 Publications

7. Assumptions
• Conditions that are necessary for the success of the
project, but which are not under the direct influence of
the project.
• Assumptions are risks, which can jeopardize the success
of the project.
• Should be relevant and probable
• Do not include if not important

8. Components of LFM
3. Basic Steps and Elements
Planning Phase
Vertical Logic
Project Planning Matrix (PPM )
• Identifies what the project intends to do and achieve
GOAL
• Clarifies the causal relationship
Objectives
• Specifies important assumptions and risks OUTPUTS
ACTIVITIES
Horizontal Logic
• Identifies the source and means by which indicators
will be verified
• Specifies indicators to measure progress
Aims measured by indicators
through information
collected and presented in specified
means of verification

Activity description Indicators Means of Verification Assumptions
Goal (Overall Objectives)
- Contribute to the achievement
of Sustainable Development in
the area of Lake Manzala
Purpose (Project Objectives) - Water quality - Regular monitoring of fish - Political will
