GTZ Project Management

Changes in the use of logframe/ZOPP

First application of LFA Development of ZOPP with new steps: - participation analysis- problem analysis- objectives analysis- interdisciplinary workshops with all affected groups

ZOPP becomes a standard procedure - all project management instruments are made compatible

Criticism of ZOPP:- schematic ritualisation- artificial workshop situations- instrument of power for GTZ: “zopping people”- rigid problem-orientation

Development of PCM - flexibilisation of project preparation- new procedures for project planning (PRA)

Redefinition of ZOPP- ZOPP = framework for the quality of planning- logframe (PPM) structuring element for offers- deregulisation of all organisational project directives

Monitoring and self-evaluation in the projects

Project-independent evaluation

As a rule, projects monitor their results only up to the level of direct, empirically verifiable benefits. More highly aggregated development results, to which the project might have contributed, but which can no longer be reliably identified using the normal monitoring and self-evaluation methods, are identified and assessed using a project-independent evaluation procedure.
