SAMPLE LOGFRAME

On the next page is an example of what a logframe might look like after concerns about the use
of corporal punishment in a particular community have led a child rights organization to consider
a programme intervention.

The child rights organization first carries out a situation analysis that shows many community
members holding deeply rooted beliefs in the benefits of strong discipline, including corporal
punishment, to a childs development. Interviews and focus groups reveal many references to
religious teachings in support of these practices. What is also emphasized in the data collected
is the influential role played by religious leaders in much of daily life in the community. They are
cited as some of the most trusted people in the community.

Interviews with religious leaders show differing perspectives on corporal punishment, ranging
from support to strong disagreement with its use. A few leaders indicate that they have wanted
to address the issue but were not sure how.

Based on the results of the situation analysis the child rights organization sees there is an
opportunity to work with some religious leaders who can use their status and networks to
address the issue at the household and community levels. The programme is jointly designed
with religious leaders to provide them with information, support and training, which they will use
to work within their religious communities to discuss the importance of not harming children and
seeking alternative, non-violent methods of discipline.

Note that to be valid the programme logframe would need to include baseline and target
information and the indicators would have to be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable,
realistic, time sensitive).
