The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is a management tool mainly used for designing, monitoring, and evaluating international development projects. Variations of this tool are known as Goal Oriented Project Planning (GOPP) or Objectives Oriented Project Planning (OOPP). ==Background== The Logical Framework Approach was developed in 1969 for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). It is based on a worldwide study by Leon J. Rosenberg, a principal of Fry Consultants Inc.〔(Final Report, Contract csd-2510, July 24, 1970 )〕 From 1970 to 1971, 30 countries adopted the method under the guidance of Practical Concepts Incorporated, founded by Rosenberg.〔(Practical Concepts Incorporated, "Guidelines for Teaching Logical Framework Concepts" )〕 It has been widely used by multilateral donor organizations, such as AECID, GIZ, SIDA, NORAD, DFID, SDC, UNDP, EC and the Inter-American Development Bank. Some non-governmental organizations offer LFA training to ground-level field staff.〔(Fernando, Renuka. "Getting on With It: Monitoring and Evaluation in the Third Sector" Risk and Regulation. London School of Economics. Winter 2012. )〕 It has also gained popularity in the private sector. Terry Schmidt has been active in extending the LFA. The Logical Framework Approach continues to gain adherents, though it is a management tool invented more than 40 years ago. This phenomenon has been the subject of several doctoral theses. In the 1990s, it was often mandatory for aid organizations to use the LFA method in their project proposals. However, its use has become increasingly optional in recent years. The Logical Framework Approach is sometimes confused with Logical Framework (LF or Log frame). The Logical Framework Approach is a project design methodology, whereas the Logical Frame is a document. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Logical framework approach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
