7. 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

8. Key Concepts - Logical Framework Approach contd.. Identification of the Objectively Verifiable Indicators (OVIs) and Means of Verification (MOVs) at goal, purpose & activity levels; Reckoning of external factors and the risks; and Keeping track on the mission activities.

15. Key features of formats for records, reports & monitoring Standardization - devoid of duplicity Empowering with information across the levels Uniformity Precision in data capturing Interoperability across the program Easy to fill, maintain & report Adequate checks & balances Data Integrity True projection of performance Ensuring credibility & wider acceptance of the output IT enabled

19. 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.
