Logical Framework

LOGICAL FRAMEWORK

A logical framework (commonly known as a logframe) links activities results, purpose and objectives of a programme, project or policy in a hierarchical form. For each of the programme, project or policy components, the evaluator identifies the performance indicators that are required , the sources of information for each indicator and the assumptions. Logframes are designed to clarify the objectives of a programme, project or policy and identify the casual links between inputs, outcomes, and impacts. In its most basic form, a logframe is a matrix that summarizes in concise language the critical elements of a programme, project or policy. The approach addresses key questions in a methodical manner using casual logic.

Logframes are used for a variety of purposes which include:

improving the quality of projects, programmes or policy design by mandating the specification of clear objectives, use of performance indicators, and risk assessment;
Summarizing the design of programmatic and complex activities;
Assisting staff in preparing detailed operational plans;
providing an objective basis for activity review, monitoring, and evaluation.^[1]
