3.4 Problem Tree
 The problem tree is a powerful tool for
analyzing the causes and effects of
the core problem.
 It is also a useful means of presenting
the problem statement in summary
visual form
3.4 Problem Tree: Core
Problem with Direct Causes
Core problem

 Problem statement
 Analysis and review of major gender
concerns
4.2.5 Project Objectives
 Project Goal
 Projects objectives
 Results or outputs

implementation
4.2.7 Project Budget
 The project budget based on major
activities
 Projections for five years
4.2.8 Feasibility, Justification
and Sustainability
 Feasibility
 Justification
 Sustainability
5. Logical framework
 The Log Frame is a visual presentation of the
major elements of a project
 It is presented in a matrix format.
 Log Frame provides a summary in terms of:
 Objectives (overall goal , purpose, results
activities)
 Objectively verifiable indicators
 Sources of verification
 Important assumptions
5. Logical framework
 6.0 PROJECT EVALUATION

value or the achievement of project goals
or objectives
 It involves gathering and analyzing
information to determine:
 Whether the project is carrying out its
planned activities
