- Project (re-)design is an ongoing process over the life of the
project.
- Not only project designers but also implementers need to understand
good design principles so they can adapt the project strategy
and operations in response to changing contexts and lessons learned
from implementation.
- Good practices for project design (and adaptation) include:
involving stakeholders, completing a detailed situation analysis,
ensuring a logical intervention strategy, identifying cross-cutting
objectives, planning for capacity development and sustainability,
and planning for learning and adaptation.
- The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) can help in project design
if the process steps are followed flexibly and its limitations
are understood and addressed.
|
- The output of the LFA is the logframe matrix, which summarises
the intervention logic (with assumptions) and M&E.
- The logframe matrix can be used to track progress with annual
work plans and impacts. To fulfil this purpose, diligent use is
a must and sufficient detail is needed.
- Developing a good M&E system depends on paying adequate
attention to M&E during the initial design phase. The M&E
system should be outlined in the project appraisal report.
