Document 5: GUIDANCE FOR GROUP EXERCISE 2.

A LOGFRAME APPROACH TO
IDENTIFYING AND DESIGNING PROJECT INTERVENTIONS
Technical Workshop on Project Preparation
Transformational Climate Resilience Water Project Concepts
in Latin America and the Caribbean
for the Green Climate Fund
3-5 September 2019, Panama
Objective
This group discussion is expected to allow participants to review proposed project interventions in a
country-prioritized potential project idea and, using a logical framework, enhance identification and
design of proposed interventions to ensure that they
i. address the project objectives
ii. contribute to the six GCF investment criteria:
1. Impact Potential. Project’s potential to contribute to the Fund’s objectives and results areas
• Fund’s objectives – Mitigation, Adaptation
• Fund’s results areas
o Mitigation
• Reduced emissions from
▪ Energy generation and access
▪ Transport
▪ Forests and land use
▪ Buildings, cities, and appliances
o Adaptation
• Increased resilience of
▪ Health, food and water security
▪ Livelihoods of people and communities
▪ Ecosystems and ecosystem services
▪ Infrastructure and built environment
2. Paradigm Shift Potential. Degree to which proposed activity can catalyze impact beyond a
one-off project
3. Sustainable Development Potential. Wider co-benefits such as environmental, social, health,
economic, gender equality
4. Needs of the Recipient. Scale and intensity of the vulnerability and financing needs of the
country and population
5. Country Ownership. Alignment with national climate change strategy and development
frameworks; implementation capacity; NDA & stakeholder engagement
6. Efficiency and Effectiveness. Economic and, if appropriate, financial soundness of the project
Groups
Participants gather into groups by country.

Task (45 mins total) In the following logical framework template, elaborate your country’s project idea
discussed in Group Exercise 1.
