In this present paper we will first present what we consider to be the standard Logical Framework Approach (Logframe) that has been widely used since the 1980s. Then we will examine some changes in the functioning of international cooperation, that make it difficult to apply the Logframe Approach as a method for results-based management of development projects. Some of the strengths and weaknesses of this methodological approach will also be discussed. The next section will present the methods used in Outcome Mapping and describe how they differ from the Logframe Approach. Finally, we will compare both methods and discuss the possibilities of a synthesis.
