Logical-Framework development on the iPad

MR

Sep 2, 2013 — 2 min read

LFApad is a FileMaker-base application designed to draft project proposals according to the logical-framework approach (LFA) on the iPad.
LFApad facilitate a rigorous and coherent project development while keeping all activities, tasks and resources under control.

Once inside the application you can tap around to enter content while using the main button at the top-right corner to navigate the different LF sections: General objective and purpose (goals) on the home page; expected rests; actions related to each result; resources needed in each action with a breakdown of each action in tasks. There’s a tool to sketch down some ideas by hand on the iPad itself before starting the actual drafting. At the end you can see the timeline in GANTT-like format and print (or generate pdf files) each section or the whole project and move on to the narrative proposal.

I wrote this application because I needed such a tool for a previous consultancy. The application is currently being tested. If you are interested please drop me an email. Once the testing phase is over I plan to make it available “as is” for non-commercial purposes.

It isn’t a native app but it needs FileMaker Go in order to be executed on the iPad, either remotely or locally. This allows for personalized developments tailored to the specific need of every designer/organization with a faster deployment cycle than allowed by iTunes store.

Energia sostenibile per chi? Questione ambientale tra ottimismo fallibilista e moralismo malmostoso

Il concetto di sviluppo sostenibile entra nella sfera politica globale nel 1987 quando le Nazioni Unite presentano la relazione della Commissione mondiale sull’ambiente e lo sviluppo presieduta dalla ex primo ministro norvegese Gro Harlem Brundtland (Gruppo di studio sull’ambiente 2012). E l’energia è un fattore determinante dello

Distributed audio content (podcasts) generated by users and shared via peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures and protocols can lower the entry barrier for community based radios that at the same time are wary of the privacy implications of the free offerings by commercial centralised platforms. Although not a P2P architecture itself, a

State policies as combinatorial algebra

There are moments in history when policy reversals seem so neat at first glance that can be described as simple combinations of vectorial repertoires. With some disturbing constants, though. In this example I consider Iranian state policy governing the apperance of women’s heads as decreed first by the Shah

Banal power for totalitarian systems

Hannah Arendt’s famous thesis is as often quoted as misunderstood. While she was proven wrong in assessing Eichmann’s historical role and personality, even where she erred, she did it in a creative, felicitous way. Eichmann’s evil deeds were indeed banal if we refer to the feudal autonomy
