Review Logframe Quality

You are a senior MEAL specialist reviewing a draft logframe for your program. **LOGFRAME TO REVIEW:** [paste logframe here] **Review Requirements:** 1. **Vertical logic.** Test the causal logic from activities to outputs to outcomes to impact. Flag missing or implausible links and assumptions that hide a logical gap. 2. **Indicator quality.** For each indicator, assess whether it is SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Flag indicators that measure activity completion when an outcome indicator is required. 3. **Baselines, targets, and means of verification.** Check that baselines and targets are present, plausible, and disaggregated where appropriate. Verify the means of verification is realistic and not redundant. 4. **Assumptions and risks.** Confirm assumptions are testable and material, not boilerplate. Flag missing critical assumptions. 5. **Alignment with the theory of change.** Verify the logframe captures the key causal pathways from the ToC and does not introduce new logic that contradicts it. 6. **Donor compatibility.** Check that the logframe conforms to the donor's preferred structure. **Output Format:** Produce: 1. A 1-paragraph overall assessment. 2. A row-by-row review table for problematic rows (level, indicator, issue, recommended fix). 3. A scored review by dimension (vertical logic, indicator quality, targets/MoV, assumptions, ToC alignment, donor format). 4. A prioritized revision list (must-fix vs. should-fix).
