Summary	The Logical Framework Approach (Logframe) is a structured planning, monitoring, and evaluation method that distils an intervention into a single four-by-four matrix linking a hierarchy of objectives to the indicators, evidence, and external conditions on which success depends. Originated by Leon Rosenberg of Practical Concepts Incorporated for USAID in 1969 and elaborated by agencies such as GTZ, NORAD, and the European Commission, it forces planners to make explicit the causal logic by which activities are expected to produce outputs, outcomes, and ultimately a development goal.	Stakeholder analysis in development is a structured method for identifying the actors with a stake in an intervention and characterising their interests, power, and influence, so that programmes can be designed and implemented with a clear view of whom they affect and who can affect them. Drawing on the natural-resource-management tradition of Robin Grimble and Kate Wellard and the methodological typology of Mark Reed and colleagues, it employs tools such as the power-interest grid, the influence-importance matrix, and Venn diagrams to make the social landscape of a project explicit.
