4.5 FindingsandAnalysis 4.5.1 MovingAway fromaLogframe In linewith funding agency requirements, CCAFSalso initiated its programmatic management approach on the basis of a logframe (see Table 4.1 for an example). Annualmilestoneswere defined thatwere largely focused on producing scientific outputs andevidenceof their achievement,whichwould then lead todevelopmen- tal impact. R4D programming over the last few decades has commonly been based on a logframe approach (LFA). The LFA was initially developed for United States Table4.1 Excerpt fromtheCCAFSannual logframe (2011) as anexample fromTheme4 (Inte- gration forDecisionMaking), while outcomes and impacts are reported against in themedium- termplan (2010–2012) (CCAFS2011) Milestones output targets Performance indicator Means of verification Assumptions Partners Objective 4.1Explore and jointly apply approaches andmethods that enhanceknowledge to action linkageswith awide rangeof partners at local, regional andglobal levels Outcome4.1:Appropriate adaptation andmitigation strategiesmainstreamed into national policies in at least 20 countries, in the development plans of at least five economic areas (e.g.ECOWAS,EAC,SouthAsia) covering eachof the target regions, and in thekeyglobal processes related to food security and climate change Output4.1.1Foreachregion,coherentandplausible futuresscenarios to2030andlookingout to 2050thatexaminepotentialdevelopmentoutcomesunderachangingclimateandassumptionsof differingpathways of economic development; developed for thefirst time in aparticipative mannerwith a diverse teamof regional stakeholders Milestone4.1.1.1 Capacity built among three regional teamsof diverse stake- holders trained in scenarios approaches and engagingwith policymakers in their countries/ regions and in global climate changeprocesses andwiththeEarth SystemScience Partnership com- munity;Method- ological briefs, papers Regional scenar- ios partners actively partici- pating in regional food security debates and global climate changeprocesses.
