The Logical Framework (Log Frame) is a tool for objective-oriented planning and managing

development projects. It consists of a matrix with four columns and four or more rows, providing

an overview of a project's goal, activities, and anticipated results. The four rows in the LogFrame

template are Goal, Purpose, Outcomes, and Inputs, and the columns are Objectives, Success

Measures, Verification, and Assumptions.

Here is a draft of a Logical Framework project plan for a smart waste management system:

This draft Logical Framework project plan outlines the goals, purpose, outcomes, and inputs for

a smart waste management system, along with the objectives, success measures, verification

methods, and assumptions for each. It provides a structured framework for planning and
managing the project, ensuring that all key elements are considered and that the project's

progress and success can be effectively monitored and evaluated.
