Make the logframe work for you in preparing a clear,
consolidated, and robust grant application:
Develop the description of the purpose, but DON’T write

ALL activities MUST contribute towards achieving the
expected results
Make sure the proposed monitoring system is SMART
The ‘inputs’ or means MUST be accounted for in the
budget
