A modern tool used in planning, monitoring and evaluation of development projects. Provides insight towards project aims and aspects upon which success depends. A handy summary to inform project staff, benefactor, beneficiaries and stakeholders throughout the lifecycle of the project. Better supervision based on intended outcomes rather than intended expenditure. Key Concepts - Logical Framework Approach

Methodology on performance assessment of districts for State/National level awards Awards’ parameters Outcome based parameters: Performance will be assessed in relation to baseline data. Intervention related parameters: Performance will be assessed in relation to achievements against the targets. In case of the interventions for which baseline data is available, performance will be assessed in relation to baseline data. Process oriented parameters : Performance will be assessed based on documentary evidence relating to activities envisaged vis-à-vis carried out.
NFSM Award Scheme – Key concepts Quantifiable parameters Objective assessment of relative performance Transparency in assessment Recognition of merit Sharing of best practices Enhancement of acceptability & ownership
