Quality in Quantity: 80 Participants Receive Training in Designing TC Projects

50 participants and an additional 30 observers have recently attended a sub-regional workshop in Bangkok, Thailand, from 23 to 26 February, to learn more about the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) and its application in the development and implementation of IAEA TC projects.

The workshop in Bangkok taught participants more about the Logical Framework Approach.

As part of a strategy to continuously enhance the quality of the IAEA technical cooperation (TC) programme, the IAEA organizes regional, sub-regional and national workshops to ensure that project proposals submitted by Member States are result-oriented and take into account the respective context of the country. This requires them to be comprehensive and coherent, and to ensure that all foreseeable risks and opportunities are identified. In keeping with this strategy, 50 participants and an additional 30 observers have recently attended a sub-regional workshop in Bangkok, Thailand, from 23 to 26 February, to learn more about the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) and its application in the development and implementation of IAEA TC projects.

All planning and design of the hundreds of technical cooperation projects launched each biennial TC cycle conform to the same methodology, the Logical Framework Approach (LFA), a method that is applied across the United Nations system and even in private industry to conceptualize development and aid activities. This participatory technique helps Member States to define the course of an entire project, from start to finish. It encourages national counterparts, together with other stakeholders, to identify key problems, to find solutions to address them, and to explore all feasible alternatives for implementation, considering the specific context of their country. When the LFA is applied appropriately, it provides a consistent schematic which assists in project planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

At the workshop in February, national project counterparts from Thailand, Nepal and Myanmar, as well as observers from the Office of Atoms for Peace (OAP) of the Thailand Ministry of Science and Technology, the Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology, Siriraj Hospital, Ramathibodhi Hospital, Chulalongkorn Hospital, and the Ministry of Agriculture Cooperation received information and guidance on using the LFA, with the aim of strengthening the design of projects that will be proposed for the 2018-2019 TC cycle. The workshop was organized by OAP and carried out under the auspices of an ongoing regional TC project in the Asia & the Pacific region.

The workshop was opened by OAP Deputy Secretary General Mr Kittisak Chinudomsub, and the two TC Training Officers, Ms G. Dimitrova and Mr F.X. Campbell, who also facilitated the workshop. In his speech, Mr Chinudomsub strongly appreciated the continuous efforts and support provided by the IAEA.

Participants had the opportunity to get hands-on experience in the design of the TC projects. In order to facilitate the use of the LFA methodology and an open dialogue among participants, the training on the Logical Framework Approach included practical and interactive group work. Separating into small working groups - each focused on a specific field of activity - the participants applied the LFA to examine options and solutions to specific development challenges, and to design real TC projects. These practical exercises were underpinned by a comprehensive overview of the IAEA and its history—including activities conducted as part of the technical cooperation programme. The workshop provided participants with in-depth background on the Logical Framework Approach, particularly on topics that include situation analysis, problem analyses, stakeholders analyses, how to set objectives, and how to design a Logical Framework Matrix. Furthermore, the workshop attendees were briefed on the TC Quality Criteria,  and the monitoring and reporting requirements for TC projects.

The close discussions and consultations amongst the authors of future TC project proposals, which took place during the four-day workshop, will lead to TC projects in the 2018-2019 cycle that are stronger, more sound and more successful.
