 This is a management tool originally used in the design, monitoring and  evaluation of international development projects. It now pervades as a  system of planning and control across the NGO sector. Simply represented  within a matrix made up of programme specifics coupled with indicators  of success. It treats events as static and closed systems, framing the  analysis through a linear structure of cause and effect. It is best used  in conjunction with financial systems where all input can be accounted  for. Logical Framework impacts on the capacity to understand social  change by claiming that the future corresponds to that which was  planned.
