DESCRIPTION:

LUMS MBA students, who are about to conduct a third party evaluation of the CARE Foundation as part of their final MBA project, need to come up with some success criteria and their indicators in order to evaluate CARE's progress and achievement. They have met with some key managers at CARE and have also looked at the organisation's vision and mission statements to get some clarity on CARE's overall goals and objectives. They now need an evaluation tool that can help them streamline all this information and give structure to their evaluation study. Many international donor agencies have been using the Logical Framework or Results Based Management as tools, both to help design and evaluate intervention programs. The student team decided to develop such a framework for CARE as a first step, prior to starting their evaluation project.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1) Expose students to the theory of change/program theory and logical framework, and discuss their importance in program design and program evaluation. 2) Explain the nature of logical framework as a planning and evaluation tool and examine alternative ways to construct program theory. 3) Explain and provide practice on how to develop a logframe for a program/intervention.
