Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is a management tool used when working with projects, both during planning, execution and evaluation of the project. The method was developed by [[USAID]] in [[1969]].

LFA is used to assure the quality of a project.
 
The Logical Framework takes the form of a four x four project matrix. The four rows describe the project Activities, Outputs, Purpose and Goal. The four columns provide a Narrative description of each of these events, Objectively Verifiable Indicators (OVIs)of these events taking place, Means of Verification (MoV)where information will be available on the OVIs, Assumptions, which will be ensure that events at one row lead to the events at the next row above. The matrix is used to describe the design of a project, and to enable the monitoring and evaluation of its implementation
Logical framework approach takes the form of a project matrix. The matrix includes information about the background, progress and goals of a project.
 
The core of the Logical Framework is the "temporal logic model" that runs through the matrix. This takes the form a series of logical propositions:
