| Abstract:
In the international development community, logframes have become the industry standard to summarize a project/program's design and intended results. At best, logframes are tools that help project design, monitoring, and evaluation (DM&E). At worst they can straightjacket a project, imposing an outside, technocentric method that alienates rather than fosters local participation in project design, monitoring, and evaluation. This skills building workshop is aimed at helping to minimize the alienation of local partners in the logframe process. The workshop's purpose is threefold. First and foremost, it will introduce the experienced M&E practitioner or trainer to fun, innovative exercises (games) to reinforce local partner understanding of logframes. This is important not only for local ownership of a project, but for reliable reporting as local partners often gather monitoring data. Second, the workshop will reinforce an logframe understanding for those new to them. Third, the workshop will show how logframes can indeed be fun!
