Means of verification (Where / how to get information)

Assumptions (What else to be aware of) Goal Outcomes Outputs

Activities Inputs Costs

Logical Framework is a snapshot of a project’s design logic:

  • What we want to achieve (objectives at the three levels - outputs, outcomes, goal)
  • (^) How we will achieve it (set of activities)
  • How we will measure change (indicators)
  • Where (and how) to gather information (means of verification)
  • What else to be aware of (set of assumptions)

What’s wrong with this indicator?

  • (^) Objective: Improved education levels
    • Indicator: Students improve at school in 2007 in Omsk district
    • Not Specific Not Measurable,
      • Correction: Percentage of grade 6 students who passed their examinations at school in 2007 in Omsk district
