Logic Models, Logical Frameworks and Results-Based Management: Contrasts and Comparisons
F. Harry Cummings · Canadian Journal of Development Studies/Revue canadienne d études du développement · 1997
This article compares the results-based management (RBM) approach with the logical framework (LFA) and program logic model (PLM) approaches which preceded it. Each of the methods is presented with the elements of the results chain, and their impacts are compared. RBM approaches have de-emphasized inputs, therefore de-emphasized classical efficiency concerns. The author points to the importance of emphasis on results for project managers, the failures in the past of not having an exchange among the approaches, and recommends the importance of such an exchange in the future.
