Encoding of Logframes

|---|---|
| The contract was amended, including a modification of the Logframe. How to update the information in the system? | IF the logframe was modified following an amendment, it should be updated in the system accordingly, and the changes be approved by the EU Operational Manager. For the update, the status of the Logframe must first be changed by the OM to "To be revised" or otherwise the implementing partner will not be able to edit the Logframe in "Manage Logframe". |
| After an agreed change of the indicators, should we report the intervention's original indicators or those after the revision? | Only the latest approved version of the logframe should be encoded in the system. If a logframe has been revised, the new logframe must be encoded in the system and approved by the EU Operational Manager. This needs to be done under "Manage Logframe" |
| Can a logframe be submitted in Spanish, Portuguese or French? | Yes, use the language of the contract to encode the logframe. |
| Can an approved logframe be edited? | To a limited extent. After a Logframe is approved, the only accepted changes by the Implementing Partners are: Baseline and Targets values and dates under "Manage Logframe". Elements such as its name or indicator type can no longer be altered. If errors exist in these aspects, the indicator must be deleted and re-encoded. To do so, current values, if any, should be deleted first under "View Logframe" when the logframe is approved. Changes will have to be submitted for OM's approval. Any current value can be edited at any time, as long as the logframe is in "Approved" status |
| How to confirm that the logframe was correctly processed? | Once the logframe has been encoded and saved, exit "manage logframe" mode and click on “Submit Logframe”. Track status under LF "Current status" in the top left corner of the Logframe view page (Draft; Pending approval; To be revised; Approved). |
| What information should be added in the “statement” field? | This field provides optional additional information about the result. It is visible only on the specific indicator page, not in the Logframe overview page. |
| Which is the deadline to create a logframe? | Ideally, the logframe should be encoded right after the contract signature. Logframes must be encoded by the end of the inception phase the latest. |
| At which stage the formulated indicator with its baseline and target values could be amended/changed or deleted? | If the official logframe has been modified in agreement with the EU Operational Manager, indicators and values can be modified. To do so, first delete the current values encoded, if any, when the logframe is approved. Then go to "Manage Logframe" to edit/delete the indicator, baselines and targets. Once this is done, the logframe needs to be approved again to reencode/encode the current values. If only baseline and target values need to be adjusted under "Manage Logframe", there is no need to previously delete the current values encoded |
| How should we identify Output, Outcome and Impact indicators? |
The indicators should be encoded mirroring those in the approved logframe. If the design is technically sound:
|
| Can we have more than one outcome? | The results should be encoded mirroring those in the approved logframe. It is good practice to limit the number of specifc objectives (often one is enough), however for large interventions, other outcomes can be included as needed. |
