Study Notes
Logic Model and Logframe Matrix
- A logic model provides a linear interpretation of a project's planned use of resources and its desired ends.
- It has five essential components: input, processes, outputs, outcomes, and impacts.
- Input refers to the development of a clinical training curriculum.
- Process refers to conducting training events.
- Output refers to practitioners trained in new clinical techniques.
- Outcome refers to an increase in clients served by newly trained providers.
- Impact refers to declining morbidity levels in the target population.
Results Framework
- A results framework, also known as a strategic framework, diagrams the direct causal relationships between the incremental results of key activities and the overall objective and goal of the intervention.
- It clarifies the points in an intervention at which results can be monitored and evaluated.
- A results framework includes an overall goal, a Strategic Objective (SO), and Intermediate Results (IRs).
- An SO is an outcome that is the most ambitious result that can be achieved and for which the organization is willing to be held responsible.
- An IR is a discrete result or outcome that is necessary to achieve an SO.
Conclusion
- Using frameworks helps develop a clearer understanding of a project's goals and objectives, with an emphasis on identifying measurable objectives, both short-term and long-term.
- Frameworks help define the relationships between factors key to the implementation and success of a project, both internal and external to the programme context.
- They serve as the foundation for selecting appropriate, useful M&E indicators.
Monitoring and Evaluation Frameworks
- A conceptual framework, also known as a research framework, is useful for identifying and illustrating the factors and relationships that influence the outcome of a programme or intervention.
- Conceptual frameworks are typically shown as diagrams illustrating causal linkages between the key components of a programme and the outcomes of interest.
- There is no one perfect framework, and no single framework is appropriate for all situations.
- The project-level M&E framework should cascade from the programme level M&E framework and could contain more detailed information on monitoring and evaluation tasks that apply specifically to respective projects.
