Annex 1: Logical framework template All proposals must include a log in the format below. This provides a picture of how your initiative will deliver results, including the assumptions and underlying risks. It links outputs and outcomes with your initiative’s activities/processes and the theoretical assumptions/principles behind the initiative. Completed log frames often have a triangle shape with many activities on the left-hand side, leading to fewer outcomes on the right-hand side. Goal The overall change the initiative aims to achieve (usually long-term). Activities Outputs Outcomes Assumptions and Risks Outcome Indicators Outcome Baseline Outcome Targets Means of Verification The processes, tools, events, technology, and actions that are an intentional part of the initiative implementation (what you do).

Outputs should be concrete and measurable contributions to the achievement of outcomes. Desired behaviour changes within the target population (e.g., quitting smoking; using bed nets; having access to clean water). Short-term outcomes should be attainable within 1 to 3 years, while longer-term outcomes should be achievable within a 4 to 5-year timeframe. Outcomes usually begin with a verb, e.g., decreased, enhanced, improved or maintained. Assumptions are hypotheses about factors that could affect the progress or success of the initiative. explain possible threats to the achievement of outputs and outcomes. Quantitative or qualitative indicators to measure achievement of outcomes. These should include at least one, and for initiatives that apply for funding of EUR 500,000 and above, more than one of the KPIs listed on Annex 2, along with sub-indicators, where relevant. Qualitative or quantitative description of level for each outcome indicator before the initiative starts, against which progress will be assessed. The the initiative wants to achieve for each outcome indicator, by a specific time. Please include a date for each target.
