The Logical Framework Approach is sometimes confused with Logical Framework (LF or Log frame). The Logical Framework Approach is a project design methodology, whereas the Logical Frame is a document.

<ref>miojjkjj</ref>==Description==

The Logical Framework takes the form of a four-by-four project table. The four rows describe four different types of events that take place as a project is implemented: ''Activities'', ''Outputs'', ''Purpose'' and ''Goal'' (from bottom to top on the left hand side — see EC web site under external links). The four columns provide different types of information about the events in each row. The first column is used to provide a ''Narrative'' description of the event. The second column lists one or more ''Objectively Verifiable Indicators'' (OVIs) of these events taking place. The third column describes the ''Means of Verification'' (MoV) where information will be available on the OVIs, and the fourth column lists the ''Assumptions''. Assumptions are external factors that could have an influence, whether positive or negative, on the events described in the narrative column. The list of assumptions should include the factors that have a potential impact on the success of the project, but which cannot be directly controlled by the project or program managers. In some cases these may include what could be ''killer assumptions'', which if proved wrong will have major negative consequences for the project. A good project design should be able to substantiate its assumptions, especially those with a high potential to have a negative impact.
