Project Design Matrix (Logframe)

The Project Design is an elaboration of the project concept presented in matrix format. It is
usually a one-page summary of the proposed project; a plan document that gives the
over-all picture of the whole project strategy because it answers the basic questions about
the proposed project. It has four (4) columns and fifteen (15) cells where corresponding
entries (information) are entered. The cells in the Matrix are the spaces where entries are
placed. The entries are exclusive to a particular cell but should logically be related to
the whole Matrix.
The Goal is also the core objective of the project. It answers the question on why the
project is done. It is usually stated too broadly that it cannot be focused on a particular
target group(s). It is sometimes referred to as the developmental goal of a project, which
is nothing, but the benefits expected by the target groups from actively participating or
getting involved in the project.
The Project Purpose refers to the new conditions or qualities achieved when the target
groups adopt or utilize the project outputs. It is what the project hopes the target groups
will do with the project outputs. The attainment of the Project Purpose should
substantially contribute toward reaching the GOAL. It is in the project purpose where the
target beneficiaries or group(s) of the project is specified.
Outputs or Results are usually numbered for quick and easy reference in relation to its
respective set of results or goods and services the project has to produce and offer to
the target group(s) in short what will entice the target group(s) to join the project.
Activities are the primary means of the project to achieve its higher-level objectives. They
are measures or tasks carried-out by the project to obtain or produce the outputs or
results. They are formulated as statements of definite, specific and exclusive actions. They
are formulated as statements of definite, specific and exclusive actions and are numbered
with reference to the Outputs/Results. It is important for all the major activities in each
Output/Result to be included in the list because they will also be used in identifying the
(external) risks to be involved.
Verifiable Indicators are information on how the success of the project is measured or
assessed, They are the performance/success barometers.
Means of Verification (MOV) are the proof that success is present. It guides one to know
where to find the success indicators.
Assumptions are the factors/conditions believed to be crucial to the success of the
project but are external to it. They are also known as the risks and frame conditions. The
Assumption cell space at the GOAL Level is always blank
