9.  The typical logical framework consists of a 4 x 4 matrix.
In vertical, hierarchy of objectives are listed:
(1) project final goal (impact)
(2) intermediate objectives (effect)
(3) output
(4) Activity levels.
In the horizontal, the listed components are:
(a) summaries of the objectives at each level,
(b) performance indicators for achievement of those objectives,
(c) the sources and means needed to verify the indicators
(d) the important risks and assumptions for moving from one
level of objectives to the next.

10. The core of the Logical Framework is the "temporal logic
model" that runs through the matrix. This takes the form of a
series of connected propositions:
1.If these Activities are implemented, and these Assumptions
hold, then these Outputs will be delivered
2.If these Outputs are delivered, and these Assumptions hold,
then this Purpose will be achieved.
3.If this Purpose is achieved, and these Assumptions hold,
then this Goal will be achieved.
The "Assumptions" column is of great importance in clarifying
the extent to which project/program objectives depend on
external factors.

3.Outputs
(To be produced in

and when they will

4. Activities What kind and

outputs

12. Project Final Goal
(Impact)
The ultimate aim- a
measurable
and defined
improvement in human
conditions- expected to
take place in a target
group, in an expected
period of time, as a
result of achieving the
intermediate goals, e.g.,
improve the rural
standard of living.
Outputs
What the
project
intends to
achieve in
the short
term as a
result of the
project
activities.
Activities
What the
project staff
and target
population
are going to
do.
Inputs
The resources
necessary for
performing the
project
activities
Intermediar
y Objectives
The intended
changes in
systemic
conditions or
behaviors that
must be
achieved in
order
to accomplish
the impact goal
