The LFA Facilitation training evaluated …

A moderator or facilitator needs to help others determine:

– a broad enough Entity,
– and invite valuable participants WHO want to share required information and criticism,
– a safe environment by setting the room and mixing participants,
– the organizational context (‘force field analysis’),
– a mutual understanding WHY a change is required; what real existing problems block progress,

– WHAT the project can realistically achieve (Results) and what not (Assumptions for monitoring),
– WHAT this will actually mean; the indicators,
– WHAT the project can do and what not (Assumptions for monitoring),
– by WHOM. Which organisation(s) will be responsible for the implementation and
– the required organizational capacity by assessing internal organizational obstacles and design the organizational capacity plan (the ‘HOW will it happen’ matrix).

The facilitator needs to make the above steps happen in a smooth natural way involving each and everybody equally by only have them talk about the content.

After having gone through several ‘crises’ all participants managed finally to raise out of the ‘field with land mines’ and help the group as a real confident moderator!

EU Development Days: Buy-In by Stakeholders for Sustainable Value Chains

Global Value ChainBehind the many tropical products we consume, there are agricultural supply chains involving a multitude of players. Farmers, industrialists, transporters, researchers, bankers and civil servants are all working to grow, harvest, store, process, transport and sell products.

There is a mainstream vision of sustainability (global challenge, integrated systems). However, the large diversity of value chains and systems requires diversified paths, potentially in interaction between themselves and in permanent re-construction. There are no fixed solutions, no one size fits all. Value chain actors need to remain dynamic and question permanently pathways, means and objectives. Research stakeholders accompany this continuous process and fuel the debate through scientific data and innovations.

LFA (Logical Framework Analysis) or (Logical Framework Approach)

p1060326
It appears that still quite some confusion exists about the LFA. Therefore I post this clarification here.

The LFA method (Logical Framework Analysis) is the fundamental tool of Project Cycle Management (PCM) and Results-Based Management (RBM).

LFA is step-by-step procedure applying specific techniques in a participatory workshop setting for gathering a thorough picture of a problematic situation as perceived from different perspectives (stakeholders). We call that picture the ‘ANCHOR’ of the project, which will reflect the RELEVANCE of a possible intervention addressing those problems.
