Introduction
Project design is one of the critical phases in the project life cycle. How successful a project becomes will largely depend on how well it was designed. This training course provides the skills on the Logical Framework Approach (LFA), the method used to achieve high quality project standards. The participants will learn about the concepts underlying the Logical Framework approach and the main steps in the application of this method. This course introduces the participants to a structured way of linking the objectives of the project to the needs of the stakeholders and identifying strategies to provide the desired results.
Target Participants

Training on project management is strongly recommended for persons performing project management tasks, those that want to increase their project management skills and apply a formalized and standards-based approach to project management.
