Learning through Evaluation with Accountability and Planning, LEAP, is World Vision Inter-
national¡¯s design, monitoring and evaluation framework. The organization's programs use
the framework to raise the level of rigor and consistency in programming, and bring equal
focus to learning and accountability. The framework is comprised of six components of
program and project cycle management: assessment, design, implementation and monitor-
ing, evaluation, reflection, and transition. These components are founded upon nine
principles that support the goal of achieving program quality assurance.

-
The process of defining the ¡°why¡± of a proposed program/project by collecting and analyzing
information on the community, the agency and other stakeholders. The purpose is to design
a program or project, including:
- Understanding the current situation in context
- Identifying opportunities, vulnerabilities, capacities and resources
- Deciding feasibility and setting priorities
-

- The process of planning appropriate program and project strategies using assessment
results to integrate community needs with their priorities and make a decision on whether to
implement the program or project.
-

- Implementation is ensuring that activities leading to the delivery of project outputs are
implemented according to LEAP principles and standards.
-

- Monitoring involves the recommendation of appropriate management responses to project
implementation.
-

- A time-bound exercise that attempts to assess, systematically and objectively, the relevance, performance and success, or lack thereof, of ongoing and completed program and projects.
-

- Reflection is a process that brings all stakeholders to review and analyze their work in
establishing goals, and draw lessons for future program or projects.
A cycle includes the stages 1 to 6 and it takes about 5 years. There is a total of 2 to 4 cycles in conducting ADP for a village, which takes about 20 to 25 years.
-

- Transition is the process through which the relationship between World Vision and particular communities changes upon the completion of program or project. World Vision hands
responsibilities to communities and other stakeholders so that communities themselves can be the main agents of their development programs.
