Helicopter view and the road view is a useful metaphor to help distinguish between Theory of Change (ToC) and the Logical Framework.
The ToC may be considered as the strategic document with the description of context and all the actors that contribute to the ultimate change.
A Logframe is more of an operational tool that is useful for implementation. Therefore, several logframes can flow from one ToC.

1 年Sounds like the ToC is here acting like a modified vision and mission statement, maybe with some values - and the logframe is a series of objectives and intended outcomes? What benefit is there in using this jargon of ToC and logframe? Surely the question about any intervention is simply whether the plan for action makes sense - that is, whether the proposition for action is valid and well grounded. Whether there are reasons to think it could work, and evidence about whether and how it is working? I agree with others here that what is most needed is a means to identify and manage the risks that a plan fails.
