Objectives
(Narrative Summary) Verifiable Indicators Means of Verification Important Assumptions
Goal:
(Development Objective)
What are the quantitative ways of measuring, or qualitative ways of judging, whether these broad objectives are being achieved? (estimated time) What sources of information exists, or can be provided cost-effectively? What external factors are necessary for sustaining objectives in the long run?
Purpose:
(Immediate Objectives) What are the quantitative measures or qualitative evidence by which achievement and distribution of impacts and benefits can be judged (estimated time) What sources of information exists or can be provided cost-effectively? Does provision for collection need to be made under inputs-outputs? (Purpose to Goal):
What conditions external to the project are necessary if achievements of the project’s purpose is to contribute to reaching the project goal?
Outputs:
Indicate each of the outputs that are to be produced by the project in order to achieve project purpose What kind and quantity of outputs, and by when will they be produced? (quantity, quality, time) What sources of information? (Output of Purpose):
What are the factors not within the control of the project which, if not present, are liable to restrict progress from outputs to achievements of project purpose?
Activities:
Indicate each of the activities that must be undertaken in order to accomplish the outputs. VI’s should be included against all activities. This is essential for projects reporting and monitoring against the Logical Framework. What are sources of information? (Activity to Output):
1) What external factors must be realised to obtain planned outputs on schedule?
2) What kind of decisions or actions outside the control of the project are necessary for inception of the project?
