In November 2025, Head of CIDT Ella Haruna delivered a tailored two-day training on the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) to the Development Pathways team.
Development Pathways are a leading global consultancy specialising in designing and developing social protection systems. Social Protection offers a fundamental way that governments can guard people from poverty and vulnerability including measures such as social assistance (e.g. cash transfers), social insurance (e.g. pensions) and labour market programmes (e.g. public works programmes).
The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is a structured method used for planning, designing, implementing, and evaluating projects, especially in development, public sector, NGO, and donor-funded programs. The CIDT training oriented participants to results-based tools that support planning and analysis around the project and programme cycle. A social protection case study on shock responsive social protection in small island states was used for participants to actively apply the tools of the logframe approach. The LFA toolkit includes stakeholder analysis, problem and situation analysis, risk analysis, setting indicators and more.

IDT follow an experiential approach to training, featuring adult learning techniques, high levels of interaction and active participation. The agenda combined brief presentations by the CIDT facilitator on key concepts and tools, with hands-on exercises and group work to practice applying knowledge and reinforcing skills.
Participants said:
“It was a very collaborative training with a variety of activities which helped to keep things engaging. I learnt a lot from the two days which I’m sure I will definitely use in future work.”
“I liked how interactive and engaging it was as we were able to immediately put our learnings into practice.”
“The training was pretty comprehensive and the group activities were a great way of consolidating the learning and provoked some interesting discussions.”
“The activities were well thought out and facilitation was great.”
CIDT has a long history of offering workshops and courses for capacity strengthening to a range of international development organisations across sectors and specialisms. See our training and professional development service offer and online learning courses for more information.
