The Logical Framework
(logframe) approach was
developed to improve
project planning.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The project aims to enhance agricultural productivity in Lubang
Island through improvement in rural infrastructures.
PROJECT COMPONENTS
• Rehabilitation of communal irrigation systems
• Rehabilitation of national and farm-to-market roads
• Construction of trading posts
• Provision of water supply
• Enhancement of electrical infrastructures
• Construction of barangay halls
Logical
Framewor
The approach requires teamwork among
participants as they develop RDE plans
through the following steps:
• Analysis of interest groups
• Identification of core problem and
research output
• Development of planning matrix
• Development of workplan and
resource allocation
* An important element of the method is the visualization of
ideas through the use of colored cards and pinboards.
Logical
Framewor
APPROACH: The logframe approach
consists of three inter-supportive elements:
• The method guides the work process in the
planning group,
• The team approach provides the framework
for studying problems from an interdisciplinary
point of view, and for ensuring consideration of
important interest groups and target groups,
• Simultaneous visualization facilitates effective
communication recording the contributions of
the planning team and the results of its
discussions.
Logical
Framewor
PRINCIPLES: The logframe approach is
based on a few simple underlying principles:
• Cooperation between and among project staff
and partner organizations
• Problems to be solved are linked with people,
groups, and organizations. Resolution depends on
a comprehensive picture of the interest groups,
individuals, and organizations.
• Identify constraints that impede the solution of
a given problem. In addition, specify the
concerns to be planned
Logical
Framewor
• The logframe method demands the
definition of a hierarchy of objectives
linked by means-ends hypothesis and
complemented by certain assumptions
and external conditions and influences.
All inputs (activities, human and financial
resources) are specified.
Logical
Framewor
• Planning is an iterative process. It
demand openness and creativity. Try to
reach consensus at the end of each
phase, and at the same time, leave
options open for subsequent mutual
revisions.
Logical
Framewor
The Work Process and Facilities Required:
The documents are elaborated step by step by
the planning team and are permanently displayed
for ready reference during the workshop.
“Visualization”, the method used to support
the communication process, requires the
following materials:
• Pinboards to help produce, display, and present the
workshop documents;
• Colored cards to collect and document ideas and
information;
• Large sheets of paper to permanently store the information
contained on the cards; and
• Pins, glue, scissors, masking tape, and colored markers.

Framework – preconditions and constraints which are
decided before a project is implemented. It includes:
 Specification of the target area and sector
 Project duration

CASE: THE COCONUT INDUSTRY OF KUNGSAAN PROVINCE
Coconut is one of the most important crops in the Kungsaan Province covering 35% of cultivated
land. Aside from producing around 60% of country’s coconut oil requirement, the coconut industry
also provides direct or indirect employment to almost one third of the country's population.
Despite the importance of the sector to the country's economy, modernization of the coconut
industry has not taken place. Over the years, coconut production continues to decline resulting to
decreasing income of coconut farmers and reduction in the local supply of fresh coconut and
coconut oils. Recently, exports of coconut products were also disrupted.
The decline in yield is primarily due to failure of farmers to replace aging and unproductive stand of
palms with new varieties of coconut palms. These can be attributed to farmer’s low access to
needed inputs as well as their lack of technical skills in applying new varieties and farm inputs. The
low market price of coconut further tends to discourage farmers to plant new coconut palms.
The present situation is further aggravated by the presence of a viral disease called "Cadang-
Cadang" or "yellow mottle", which kills millions of coconut trees each year. Majority of these
affected coconuts are traditional varieties as they are less resistant to the virus. Moreover, farmers
rarely apply plant protection measures.
Considering the potential of the coconut farming to fuel industry growth, the Philippine Coconut
Authority has proposed for a loan to International Buko Bank (IBB) to improve the performance of
the industry.

    Logical Framewor The Logical Framework (logframe)approach was developed to improve project planning.
  • 6.
    Logical Framewor PROJECT OBJECTIVES The projectaims to enhance agricultural productivity in Lubang Island through improvement in rural infrastructures. PROJECT COMPONENTS • Rehabilitation of communal irrigation systems • Rehabilitation of national and farm-to-market roads • Construction of trading posts • Provision of water supply • Enhancement of electrical infrastructures • Construction of barangay halls
  • 7.
    Logical Framewor The approach requiresteamwork among participants as they develop RDE plans through the following steps: • Analysis of interest groups • Identification of core problem and research output • Development of planning matrix • Development of workplan and resource allocation * An important element of the method is the visualization of ideas through the use of colored cards and pinboards.
  • 8.
    Logical Framewor APPROACH: The logframeapproach consists of three inter-supportive elements: • The method guides the work process in the planning group, • The team approach provides the framework for studying problems from an interdisciplinary point of view, and for ensuring consideration of important interest groups and target groups, • Simultaneous visualization facilitates effective communication recording the contributions of the planning team and the results of its discussions.
  • 9.
    Logical Framewor PRINCIPLES: The logframeapproach is based on a few simple underlying principles: • Cooperation between and among project staff and partner organizations • Problems to be solved are linked with people, groups, and organizations. Resolution depends on a comprehensive picture of the interest groups, individuals, and organizations. • Identify constraints that impede the solution of a given problem. In addition, specify the concerns to be planned
  • 10.
    Logical Framewor • The logframemethod demands the definition of a hierarchy of objectives linked by means-ends hypothesis and complemented by certain assumptions and external conditions and influences. All inputs (activities, human and financial resources) are specified.
  • 11.
    Logical Framewor • Planning isan iterative process. It demand openness and creativity. Try to reach consensus at the end of each phase, and at the same time, leave options open for subsequent mutual revisions.
  • 12.
    Logical Framewor The Work Processand Facilities Required: The documents are elaborated step by step by the planning team and are permanently displayed for ready reference during the workshop. “Visualization”, the method used to support the communication process, requires the following materials: • Pinboards to help produce, display, and present the workshop documents; • Colored cards to collect and document ideas and information; • Large sheets of paper to permanently store the information contained on the cards; and • Pins, glue, scissors, masking tape, and colored markers.

    CASE: THE COCONUTINDUSTRY OF KUNGSAAN PROVINCE Coconut is one of the most important crops in the Kungsaan Province covering 35% of cultivated land. Aside from producing around 60% of country’s coconut oil requirement, the coconut industry also provides direct or indirect employment to almost one third of the country's population. Despite the importance of the sector to the country's economy, modernization of the coconut industry has not taken place. Over the years, coconut production continues to decline resulting to decreasing income of coconut farmers and reduction in the local supply of fresh coconut and coconut oils. Recently, exports of coconut products were also disrupted. The decline in yield is primarily due to failure of farmers to replace aging and unproductive stand of palms with new varieties of coconut palms. These can be attributed to farmer’s low access to needed inputs as well as their lack of technical skills in applying new varieties and farm inputs. The low market price of coconut further tends to discourage farmers to plant new coconut palms. The present situation is further aggravated by the presence of a viral disease called "Cadang- Cadang" or "yellow mottle", which kills millions of coconut trees each year. Majority of these affected coconuts are traditional varieties as they are less resistant to the virus. Moreover, farmers rarely apply plant protection measures. Considering the potential of the coconut farming to fuel industry growth, the Philippine Coconut Authority has proposed for a loan to International Buko Bank (IBB) to improve the performance of the industry.
