In health program planning, the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) uses a matrix that links different levels of objectives. The correct hierarchical order of these levels from highest to lowest is:

  • A Activities, Outputs, Purpose, Goal
  • B Goal, Activities, Outputs, Purpose
  • C Outputs, Purpose, Activities, Goal
  • D Goal, Purpose, Outputs, Activities
Correct answer: D. Goal, Purpose, Outputs, Activities

Explanation

The logframe matrix follows a results chain from highest to lowest: Goal (highest impact), Purpose (intended outcome), Outputs (tangible deliverables), and Activities (tasks performed). This hierarchy helps planners logically link inputs to expected results at each level and define indicators for monitoring.
