Frameworks: Overview

Frameworks are an Amp Impact feature that helps display a(n) Organization, Project, Grant or Program’s logic model. This feature can also be known as - Logical Framework, Logframe, Results Framework, Logic Model or even, Theory of Change. Using the Frameworks element in a Project allows the user to visualize progress towards an objective. Project Indicators can be added to the Framework to improve that process as well. A project record could contain multiple Frameworks and typically, each Framework can include Impact, Outcome, and/or Output statements which can be nested underneath each other in a hierarchy.

Frameworks: Summary of Key Relationships

There are several key relationships for the Frameworks functional area:

  • Objective through Framework Objective (junction object): This relationship allows organizations to relate specific Objective records from the catalog of objectives to Projects or Frameworks.

  • Framework: This relationship allows organizations to relate Frameworks or Logic Models to Projects.

  • Project Indicator Objective: This relationship allows organizations to relate specific Project Indicators to Framework Objectives.

Here is a summary of these relationships:

Objective

ampi_Catalog_Objective__c

 None

The Objective object is used to store Impact, Outcome, Output, etc statements that are used in Logframes. It contains a catalog of the objectives which can be added to different Projects and Frameworks. To facilitate consistent structures in analytics, it also contains custom Project-specific Objectives. This object enables users building Frameworks to add predefined Objectives to a Framework or to instead of only creating custom objectives for each project. Most Objectives will have a Level (eg Impact, Outcome, Output; custom levels can be defined). Objectives can be nested under Parent Objectives (eg Outputs under an Outcome).

A grantmaker requires grantees to pursue an Outcome "Improve living standards of women". The Admin has created this and 5 other standard Objectives as records in the Objective catalog. Applicants or Grantees can add this outcome as an Objective when setting up a Framework for a Project.

Result, Result Statement, Outcome, Output, Goal, Strategic Priority

Objective (self-lookup)

Indicator (Objective is usually the Parent if a many-to-one relationship exists between Indicators and Objectives)
Thematic Area (lookup or many-to-many)

Framework

ampi__xx_Framework__c

 None

The Framework object groups together Framework Objectives in a Logframe or Logic Model for a Project/Grant/Programme. It can contain a mix of standard and custom Framework Objectives and will sometimes go through an Approval Process. A Project can have one or more Frameworks (eg if a Funder requires reporting against specific Outcome or Output Statements that differ from the organizational Framework), though typically Projects will have just one Framework.

FCDO's Gender Equity Framework is related to the project and contains the FCDO Goals, Outcomes, and Outputs that the Project aims to achieve.

Framework Objective

ampi__Objective__c

 None

The Framework Objective object contains a statement of something a Project aims to achieve. Framework Objectives have a parent-child hierarchy, allowing users to group Outputs under Outcomes under Strategic Priorities (for example). Framework Objectives can be specific to one project, can be added from a catalog of standard Objectives, or can be copied from another Framework

The Education For All project has three outcomes: Improve adolescent literacy, Improve adolescent numeracy, and Improve adolescent social-emotional learning. Each of these are Framework objectives within the Project and each have Project Indicators connected to them.

Framework (FO is child in a lookup)
Project (FO is child in a lookup)
Objective (FO is child in a lookup)
Project Indicator (many-to-many via the PIO object)
Activity (FO is parent in a lookup)
Risk (FO is parent in a lookup)

Financials (FO as parent in a lookup)
Assignments (FO as parent, if assigning resources at Output level)

Project Indicator Objective

ampi_Project_Indicator_Objective__c

PIO

Project Indicator Objective is a junction object which connects Project Indicators and Framework Objectives.

Indicator " # of women trained" and "# of women employed" are related to Project Objective "Improve living standards of women"
