Actually one of the most popular tools of PCM is the so called Logical Framework approach which forms the subject of the second lesson.

The Logical Framework Approach is a methodological tool which is part of the Project Cycle Management methodology and it is used to define the main items of a future project in terms of objectives results activities and indicators to monitor the progress.
