📋 Sample Project: Rural Water Access Program
Goal: Improve health and economic productivity in rural communities
Duration: 3 years | Target: 50,000 people in 25 villages | Budget: $2.5 million
Focus: Providing sustainable access to clean water through community-managed infrastructure

| Level | Narrative Summary | Objectively Verifiable Indicators (OVIs) | Means of Verification (MoV) | Assumptions & Risks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goal/Impact | Improved health and economic productivity in target rural communities | • 30% reduction in waterborne diseases by Year 3 • 25% increase in household income by Year 3 | • District health records • Household economic surveys | • Political stability maintained • No major economic shocks |
| Purpose/Outcome | Sustainable access to safe water for 50,000 people in 25 target villages | • 80% of target population with access to safe water within 500m by Year 2 • 90% of water systems functional after 3 years | • Water quality tests • Functionality assessments • Beneficiary surveys | • Communities maintain systems • Water sources remain viable |
| Outputs | 1. 25 community water points constructed 2. 50 community members trained in maintenance 3. 25 water management committees established | • 25 water points completed to quality standards by Month 24 • 50 technicians certified in maintenance by Month 18 • 25 active committees by Month 12 | • Construction completion reports • Training certificates • Committee meeting minutes | • Construction materials available • Trained technicians remain in villages |
| Activities | • Conduct hydrogeological surveys • Construct water points • Deliver training programs • Form and capacitate committees | • 25 surveys completed by Month 6 • Monthly construction progress ≥90% of plan • Training attendance ≥80% | • Survey reports • Monthly progress reports • Attendance registers | • Adequate staff recruited • Weather permits construction • Community participation |
📐 Vertical Logic: The "If-Then" Chain
Understanding Vertical Logic: Each level builds on the one below through clear "if-then" relationships. This chain shows how activities lead to outputs, outputs lead to outcomes, and outcomes contribute to the goal.
🎯 Goal/Impact
Improved health and economic productivity in target rural communities
The broader development objective that the project contributes to achieving.
⬆️
IF sustainable water access is achieved (Purpose), THEN health and productivity will improve (Goal)
🎯 Purpose/Outcome
Sustainable access to safe water for 50,000 people in 25 villages
The immediate benefit to target groups from using the project outputs.
⬆️
IF water points are built, committees formed, and technicians trained (Outputs), THEN people will have sustainable water access (Purpose)
📦 Outputs
25 water points constructed + 50 technicians trained + 25 committees established
The tangible products and services delivered by the project.
⬆️
IF surveys are conducted, construction happens, training delivered, committees formed (Activities), THEN these outputs will be produced
⚙️ Activities
Surveys + Construction + Training + Committee formation
The specific tasks and actions undertaken by the project team.
✓ Vertical Logic Check: Each level answers "what is needed to achieve the level above?" Working from bottom to top ensures the project design is logically sound and complete.
