Logical Framework Approach

The Logical Framework Approach (Logframe) is a structured planning, monitoring, and evaluation method that distils an intervention into a single four-by-four matrix linking a hierarchy of objectives to the indicators, evidence, and external conditions on which success depends. Originated by Leon Rosenberg of Practical Concepts Incorporated for USAID in 1969 and elaborated by agencies such as GTZ, NORAD, and the European Commission, it forces planners to make explicit the causal logic by which activities are expected to produce outputs, outcomes, and ultimately a development goal.
