How To Prepare A Logical Framework Version 2

(1) The document outlines the 6 steps to prepare a logical framework matrix: define objectives, context, interventions, work breakdown structure, external factors, and monitoring. (2) The matrix includes narrative summaries, objectively verifiable indicators, means of verification, and assumptions at the goal, purpose, output, and activity levels. (3) The goal level describes the higher objective and sector impact, the purpose level the target results, the output level the services and systems provided, and the activity level the tasks undertaken.

How 

to Prepare a Logical 
Framework Matrix
6 Steps

(1) Define the main objectives or purposes
(2) Define the context of the plan
(3) Formulate the program/project interventions
(4) Prepare a work breakdown structure for each 
intervention
(5) Using the intervention logic, identify important external 
factors that may affect project execution and results
(6) Determine how project results, accomplishments and 
important assumptions will be tracked or monitored
