In health program management, the Logical Framework Approach (LogFrame) uses a matrix with four columns. Which of the following is the correct sequence of these columns from left to right?

• A Narrative summary, Indicators, Means of verification, Assumptions ✓
• B Indicators, Narrative summary, Assumptions, Means of verification
• C Narrative summary, Means of verification, Indicators, Assumptions
• D Assumptions, Narrative summary, Indicators, Means of verification

Explanation

The LogFrame matrix columns are: (1) Narrative summary (goal, purpose, outputs, activities), (2) Objectively verifiable indicators, (3) Means of verification, and (4) Assumptions. This planning tool is widely used in international health project management and ensures logical linkage between activities, outputs, and outcomes. It is a standard tool taught in health management courses.
