The purpose of this book is to present a framework for the design of capacity development projects, which builds on the strengths of the Logical Framework Approach, while tailoring it to suit the specific context of disaster risk management. The utility is however not only the design of capacity development projects, since an appropriate design also facilitates project follow-up, management and evaluation. The framework builds particularly upon Sida’s guidelines for Logical Framework Approach11 and on research at Lund University Centre for Risk Assessment and Management (LUCRAM), funded by MSB.
