See Annex 2 for examples of good indicators Milestones Set milestones for each year of the project. Set a target for the end of the project. Use absolute numbers not %ages or proportions. Do not use multiple indicators. Milestones are cumulative; each year adds on from previous year. If you are meeting your milestones early then you will be expected to inform the FM as soon as you know and revise your logframe milestones up for the subsequent year milestones/ targets. Assumptions Define the important assumptions you are that will affect whether the project will be successful. Check all the logic. If we undertake these activities and the assumptions hold true, then we will create the outputs, if we have created the outputs and the assumptions about the outputs hold true, then we will create the outcome. Checklist for assessing your logframe Is the logframe consistent with the Theory of Change? Is the results chain clear and logical? Do the impact indicators measure long term goals to which the project contributes? Do the outcome indicators measure what will change and who will benefit? Do the output indicators measure the tangible services or facilities (results of your activities) that will be delivered by the project? Are all indicators relevant to the results chain? Are all indicators clearly defined and measurable? Have you considered using standard indicators / best practice indicators / learning from other projects? Are baselines included for all indicators? Are the targets and milestones realistic and achievable? Do the targets take into account time for project mobilization? Does the logframe represent good VfM? Could you include VfM metrics to help monitor VfM throughout the life of the project and provide assurance at Annual Review? Is the logframe gender sensitive? Is data disaggregated by sex and disability? Is source information clear and based on robust data sources, including data periodicity and availability, who will collect and report? Are qualitative indicators used where appropriate? Logframe template with further guidance Taken from DFID SMART guide to logframes 2015 & 2011
