Consultation seminar on the preparation of full Application Form for LSP

Adjustments - Logframe
Logical Framework:
In most of cases needs the improvement!!!
Work with the Applicant on it – to make it consistent with the Description of the Action
Ideally a contract to be signed with a proper Logical framework:
It will help to the Applicant and partners in Action’s implementation
Will serve to the monitoring purposes
But keeping it aside the contract and still using for monitoring purpose could also be an option

6. Logframe A different, ”third” logic of working!
Logframe
A different, ”third” logic of working!
Identify which parts of the AForm corresponds to each level of the Logframe
Start from Results and Outputs
The most important part, usually more or less well formulated
To be checked against AForm, formulations adjusted if needed
Normally shouldn’t change during the project implementation, whereas Activities could be adjusted
How do you reflect Outputs, which are not in the Logframe but are undispensable to formulate the Results?

7.
Logframe
When the results are formulated, check the Activities, which contribute to them (passing by Outputs)
Make sure that all the activities are attributed to a Result
The Activities are sufficient to achieve the results
Check that indicators are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
Realistic indicators
Check sources of verification...
Risks/assumptions very important!
Ex: reducing polution of the river by 20%, but it’s poluted upstream

8. Logframe - verification
Logframe - verification
Is the vertical logic complete and accurate?
Are the indicators and sources of verification available and reliable?
Are assumptions and preconditions realistic?
Are risks acceptable?
Is the probability of achieving the objectives high?
Are programme principles taken into account? (cross-border impact, equal opportunities, etc.)
Are the expenses justified by the expected benefits?
