Depending on the initial situations and respective local circumstances, there is no guarantee that single measures described in the toolbox
will make the local water and sanitation system more sustainable. The main aim of the SSWM Toolbox is to be a reference tool to provide
ideas for improving the local water and sanitation situation in a sustainable manner. Results depend largely on the respective situation
and the implementation and combination of the measures described. An in-depth analysis of respective advantages and disadvantages and
the suitability of the measure is necessary in every single case. We do not assume any responsibility for and make no warranty with

Project Design
What is a Logframe?
A logical framework (or logframe) is a management tool that
assists in project design by clearly stating the key
components, how the project is expected to work and how
success will be measured

Structure performance verification Assumptions
Goal
Purpose
Outputs
Activities
Project Design
A Hierarchy of Objectives
Goal – greater why

The long-term impact of the project
Purpose – why
What we hope to achieve – the immediate impact of the project
Outputs – what
Specific results produced by activities. The TOR & deliverables
Activities – how
Units of work undertaken to produce outputs
Project Design
Goal of the Project
It is a long term goal (mostly at the national level) this particular

project together with other projects contribute to its achievement
Example:
•improving the quality of life in the community Z
The goal is defined as

“it contributes to …”
Project Design
6
Goal of the Project (cont.)
Tips for Setting a Project Goal
1. There should be only one goal per project.
2. The goal should be connected to the vision for

development.
3. It is difficult or impossible to measure the accomplishment

of the goal using measurable indicators, but it should be
possible to prove its merit and contribution to the vision.

Purpose of the Project
The objectives should address the core problem in terms of the benefits
to be received by the project beneficiaries or target group as a direct
result of the project. A project will likely have multiple objectives.
Characteristics:
•Specific
•Measurable
•Applicable
•Realistic

Purpose of the Project (cont.)
Example:
Requirements of
drafting the project
objective: •Increase the number of families from village Z
•percentages or in quantity X who live in a clean garbage-free
figures environment within Y years.
•place specified •Improve the water supply in quantity X and

quality Y for the population of village Z in the
•target group specified next N years.
•time-specific
•positive desired state

Outputs of the Project
Results describe the services or products to be delivered to the intended

beneficiaries.
This is what the project team is promising to deliver.
The results are more detailed than the objectives and the goal, and should be
possible to measure through the use of objective indicators.

Outputs of the Project (cont.)
Example of outputs:
•Increase number of families living in a clean garbage-free environment.

•Increased number of households connected to the water supply system; and
•Increased number of water taps in the village.
An indicator is the signal indicating the achievement of the set goal.

Example:
-Number of new water taps in the village
Project Design
11
Activities of the Project

The tasks to be undertaken to achieve the aspired results.
Activities:
…are linked to specific outputs
… are usually specific tasks that are allocated to individuals or groups
… be designed having regard to the skills and expertise of the agency and
stakeholders
… should be listed in chronological order under each output in the
logframe
“Activities are defined using an action verb in a present tense, eg.

Design, draw up, search, construct…”

Project Design
Indicators of performance
Indicators allow to measure the progress in terms of quantity, quality
and time.
-Impact indicators: related to the overall goal, helps to monitor

the achievement and the impact of the project.
Example: “Incidence of water borne diseases, skin infections and
blood disorders caused by heavy metals, reduced by 50% by 2020”.
-Outcome indicators: related to the purpose and results.

Example: “Concentration of heavy metal compounds (Pb, Cd, Hg)
and untreated sewerage; reduced by 25% (compared to levels in
2010) and meets established national health/pollution control
standards by end of 2015”.
Project Design

Define the means of verification
What are the sources of information/data to verify outcomes and

accomplishments?
These may include:

Publications;
Surveys;
Project notes, minutes, reports and records;
Photographs, tapes, videos etc.
Project Design
15
Identify important assumptions/risks
Conditions which are important to the outcome of the project but

may not be controlled by the project
May be external to the project
Important to the project success
Closely related to sustainability issues
