Support for democracy and human rights (D/HR) has played an increasingly important role in Sida's co-operation with developing countries ever since the early 1990s. But there is a lack of information on the impact of initiatives. This study examines how well Sida's D/HR projects can be evaluated using the logical framework (logframe) as an organising evaluation structure. This assessment has the dual purpose of producing lessons onuseful methods for D/HR impact evaluationgood practices for the planning and implementation of D/HR projects.The assessment was based on evaluability criteria, with the following considered particularly crucial for logframe-related evaluation:quality of project purposequality of expected outputsavailability of baseline or monitoring data the feasibility of attributionFindings conclude that: policy frameworks need to be refined and problem analyses conducted, partly to improve project relevanceobjectives should be structured using logframe practices to ensure that projects have realistic, specific and measurable purposes with verifiable indicatorsimproved project objectives and indicators will help the feasibility of attributing development changes to project activities and Sida's project contributionflexible use of the logframe can be encouraged so that revisions can be made when implementation starts and to take account of changing means in process projectsall evaluations would benefit from evaluability techniques of trying to elicit a project logframe from an identified development pathway
