Baram River is one of the 21 main rivers in Sarawak State. Its length is 607 km and navigable up to 371 km, plays an important role in navigation and water transportation in the rural area. However, there are still a few problems occur in the Sarawak State Government, especially in navigation development activity in Baram River. For example, even though there are jetty and wharf at the main town along the river but it still can't support passenger, good and ships capacity that increase day by day. The unsafe condition around the jetties and wharf also contribute to the problems. Miri Port Authorities which operation at Baram River since 2001 has a river depth problem where only 3 meter ship can navigable to the port. It caused decrease of ship passage to the Miri Port. There are several governments and private agencies are involved in developing navigation activities, Integrated Inland Navigation would be introduced. Logical Framework Approach is being develop as an exercise to facilitate workshops for supporting the integrated development and management for Baram River especially navigation. LFA has shown the ability in construction and surveillance a complex and costly project clearly and understandably. This is achieve by structuring the main elements of a project in a matrix, which summarize the project, highlighting logical linkages between intended input, planned activities an expected results and records the underlying assumption.
