I watched your tutorial on how to develop Logframe and I was amazed at your presentation and careful and detailed explanation. Your tutorial is very, very, very educative and enriching for any person or organization who is willing and ready to learn the art of proposal development. A lot of people including myself will have a good idea but technically our proposal will not scale through due to poor organization of Strategic Logical framework and activity development
