Logframes Explained
Definition: A logframe is a means to organize the planning, implementation, management, monitoring, and
evaluation of projects. It serves as a structure that outlines and links together key points/goals of a project
in a logical way (UNODC).
Throughout the duration of a project, logframes can be referred to in order to ensure that the goals,
objectives of a project are being met by tracking indicators associated with those objectives.
How do you write a Logframe in Amp Impact?
Different institutions have different methods and terminology for outlining logframes. In Amp Impact, the
Objective object is used for the Logframe Item column. Objectives and sub-objectives can be created by the user and a Level can be associated with each Objective, to create a hierarchy and structure for the Logical Framework.
Admin Note:
The Level field of a logframe in Amp Impact does not prescribe an order. The purpose of this
framework is to serve as a logical structure to the project. For that reason, a project may not have
one outcome, output, activity, and input per impact objective. You can customize the terminology and usage of Levels, to meet organizational needs.
Impact: Outlining the impact of a project is the broadest goal in a logframe.
Example: “A decrease in the number of new cases of malaria.”
↳ Outcome: Outcomes in a logframe are the second broadest levels. This objective often answers
questions such as: What will be achieved? Who will benefit? By when will this be achieved?
Example: “New and improved methods of preventing mosquitoes from entering homes implemented by
homeowners within 6 months.”
↳ Output: An output is a level in the framework that defines specific results or deliverables that the project will produce.
Example: “2000 families are reached through the efforts of this project and at least 60% of those reached
implement malaria-preventing practices, such as putting up mosquito nets at night.”
↳ Activity: An activity defines a task(s), event(s), or occurrence(s) to be completed during the project. Example: “100 training sessions must be conducted, covering the perils of malaria, the importance of
preventing the disease, and a demonstration on how to use a mosquito net.”
↳ Input: The input level of a logframe defines resources used during the project. This can include, but is not limited to, human resources, money, materials, equipment, time, etc.
Example: “Hire 10 health professionals to educate and speak on malaria prevention during each session
conducted.”
