<strong>Project</strong> <strong>Cycle</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Handbook</strong><br />
Achieving<br />
accountability for<br />
project results<br />
➃ Activities - how the project’s goods and services will be delivered.<br />
One of the keys to using the logframe successfully is understanding<br />
what the definitions mean in operational terms, and in particular the<br />
relationship between Results and <strong>Project</strong> Purpose.<br />
Although managers are accountable for delivering the Results, they<br />
cannot control the behaviour of the target group. Achievement of the<br />
<strong>Project</strong> Purpose requires a ‘beneficiary response’ whereby the target<br />
group uses project services and in doing so derives a benefit for<br />
themselves. However, this does not mean that project managers are<br />
not responsible for achieving the <strong>Project</strong> Purpose. In fact they have a<br />
clear responsibility for ensuring that the services provided by the<br />
project meet beneficiary needs and preferences.<br />

A PCM convention that often causes particular problems is that there<br />
should be only one <strong>Project</strong> Purpose. The reason for this convention is<br />
that more than one <strong>Project</strong> Purpose would imply an overly complex<br />
project, and possible management problems. Multiple <strong>Project</strong><br />
Purposes may also indicate unclear or conflicting objectives.
