Building an ENI CBC project Introducing the Logical Framework Matrix Notes for trainers: note that the terminology used in this presentation, as well as last slide, need to be adapted to the terminology and specificities of the programme documents for the call ENI CBC Programme Latvia-Lithuania-Belarus 2014-20120 Seminar for Potential Applicants and Beneficiaries Minsk, 18 October 2016

Change for the best value project better change change project good good bad A project is instrument for delivering actual change This change must bring concrete benefits These benefits must be measurable/evaluable The ultimate value of the benefits must significantly exceeding the project costs Notes for trainers (suggested comments): Project in an instrument for delivery positive change

Aiming at a positive change impact PROJECT outcomes outputs Notes for trainers (suggested comments): Describe mechanism of delivery specific change using this example activities Situation Change input

A project intervention logic impact Primary and secondary, long term effects produced by the Action Likely or achieved short-term and medium-term effects of an Action’s outputs Products, capital goods and services which result from an Action’s activities Project operations requiring utilization of assigned resources Physical and non physical resources (financial, administrative, regulatory, facilities, equipment and etc.) PROJECT outcomes outputs Notes for trainers (suggested comments): Key components of the project Practically, here is a project implementation logic activities inputs

LFM: intervention logic Overall Objective (impact) Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Specific Objectives (outcomes) SO1 … SO(N) Impact Outcomes Outputs Op1 (№№ of SO(s)) … Op(n) (№№ of SO(s)) Outputs Activities Activities A1 (№№ of Op(s)) … A(n) (№№ of Op(s))

LFM: project feasibility Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Factors outside direct project management control Impact Necessary for providing planned impact Outcomes Necessary for achievement of the project outcomes Outputs Activities Necessary for implementation of the project activities

LFM: indicators Intervention logic: rationale Indicators (ref. year) Baseline (ref. date Current value Targets Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objective(s): outcome(s) Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objective(s): outcome(s) Outputs Activities Means: Costs:

LFM: progress defining & control Intervention logic: rationale Indicators (ref. year) Baseline (ref. date Current value Targets Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: Outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Indicator is verifiable statement describing objective or output in terms of quality (nature) - LFM column 2, quantity (including segregation by sex), place and time of performance with regards to the specific target group(s)

LFM: impact indicators Intervention logic: rationale Indicators (ref. year) Baseline (ref. date Current value Targets Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: Outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Impact indicators measure long term effects: how the project contributes to the strategic goals Ideally, to be drawn from the partner's strategy Example: a share of citizens who use bicycles for daily trips within the inner city (in comparison with those who use public transport and personal cars)

LFM: outcome indicators Intervention logic: rationale Indicators (ref. year) Baseline (ref. date Current value Targets Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Measure specific objectives (outcomes) in terms of target group benefits (changes) Examples: Actual number of citizens and guests who use new cycling facilities in the inner city (daily) Carrying capacity of the new cycling facilities in the inner city (opportunity for users)

LFM: output indicators Intervention logic: rationale Indicators (ref. year) Baseline (ref. date Current value Targets Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Output indicators measure the immediate and concrete consequences (products or services) of the activities implemented and resources used Examples: Length of newly built/ marked/ equipped cycling routes Number of citizens reached by the informational campaign on new cycling opportunities

LFM: value of indicators Intervention logic: rationale Indicators (ref. year) Baseline (ref. date Current value Targets Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Baseline: the starting value of indicators the project intends to build over Current: the value of the indicator at the specific date within the timeline of the project implementation process Targets: planned level to be achieved due to the project implementation

LFM: verification of indicators Intervention logic: rationale Indicators (ref. year) Baseline (ref. date Current value Targets Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Indicate where and in what form information on achievement of the overall objective, specific objective and outputs can be found internal project documentation e.g. reports or specific research external data (official statistics or external research Main function: allow the management of the project and the monitors to verify whether the project achieves the planned level of indicators

LFM: means Sources and means of verification Intervention logic: rationale Indicators (ref. year) Baseline (ref. date Current value Targets Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Physical and non-physical resources (often referred to as ‘inputs’) that are necessary to carry out the planned activities and manage the project, e.g.: personnel/staff resources, supplies/equipment, services (trainings required), studies, operational facilities etc.

LFM: costs Sources and means of verification Intervention logic: rationale Indicators (ref. year) Baseline (ref. date Current value Targets Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: outcomes Outputs Activities Means: Costs: Translation of all the identified resources (“means”) into financial terms: what costs will be required to implement activities by the means as defined? classification of the costs required for implementation of all activities according to the budget lines

LFM: project implementation logic Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objective(s): outcome(s) Outputs Activities Means: Costs: impact Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Activities Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Outputs Activities Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Specific objective(s): outcome(s) Outputs Activities Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Overall objective: Impact Specific objectives: outcomes Outputs Activities Intervention logic: rationale Indicators Sources and means of verification Assumptions Project outcomes outputs activities inputs
