Rosenberg, a principal of Fry Consultants Inc.<ref>[http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/PNADW881.pdf Final Report, Contract csd-2510, July 24, 1970]</ref> In 1970 and 1971, USAID implemented the method in 30 country assistance programs under the guidance of Practical Concepts Incorporated, founded by Rosenberg.<ref>[http://pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/pnaec576.pdf Practical Concepts Incorporated, "Guidelines for Teaching Logical Framework Concepts"]</ref>
