Monitoring, reporting and evaluating with LFA

During the design phase, the LFA can be used to:

• Identify the stakeholders
• Identify issues and problems, determine how they are related in a problem tree and create a solutions tree
• Identify/formulate the goals, purpose, outputs and activities of the project
• Identify/formulate the risks and assumptions
• Identify/formulate the indicators and verification sources
• Create a detailed planning
• Establish the project’s budget

Most of these elements can be found during a workshop (or a number of workshops) with stakeholders/partners/potential beneficiaries.

But apart from the identification and preparation of the project, the LFA can also be used during and after the execution of the project, to :

• monitor;
• report;
• evaluate/review.
