Logframe matrix template

A logical framework, or logframe, sets out a project as a grid that funders and partners can check at a glance. This example covers boreholes and water committees in 12 villages, with the goal, purpose, outputs and activities down the side and indicators, means of verification and assumptions across the top. A precondition sits below the grid, and notes explain how to read it up and across.

How to use this template

  1. Write the narrative column

    Start with the goal and purpose, then the outputs and activities that deliver them. Each row should lead to the one above.

  2. Add indicators and evidence

    Give every result a measurable indicator with a baseline and target, and say exactly where the evidence will come from.

  3. Test the assumptions

    For each row, write what must stay true outside the project. If you could manage it yourself, it belongs in the activities instead.

Questions about this template

Can I add more outputs or activities to the matrix?

Yes. Add rows under Outputs or Activities and fill in the indicators, means of verification and assumptions for each, so every result has evidence beside it.

Do I need an account to use it?

No. Open the template and edit it in your browser. Your work saves on this device. An account is optional if you want to sync your workspace.

Can I export the finished diagram?

Yes. Use Export in the editor to save a PNG, SVG or PDF, or download an editable .epicdraw backup.
