The project purpose is always an expression of sustainable benefits for the project's or programme's target groups.

1. Select the objective from the objective tree that is situated on top of a cluster or in case of a combination of several clusters, find or formulate an objective that covers them all (see analysis of strategies).

In case more project purposes would be selected, a logical framework must be made for each different project purpose.

2. Identification of the overall objective

Select from the objectives tree an objective, which is situated higher than the project purpose, describing in broad terms the perspective in which the intervention will be executed. Usually, this will be an objective at the sub-sector policy level.

3. Identification of results

Select from the objective tree the objectives that - following the means-end logic - lead to the project purpose.

It is possible to add other results that are also needed to realise the project purpose. These additional results are identified through a complementary analysis of opportunities and risks of the situation.

4. Identification of activities

Select from the objective tree the objectives that - following the means-end logic - lead to the results and translate them into activities.

It is possible to add other activities that are needed to realise the results. These additional activities are identified by means of a complementary analysis of opportunities and risks.

The different stakeholders will have to negotiate to come to the intervention logic. All parties should agree on the chosen objectives and activities (see scoping in par. 3.3). Differences in race, age, ethnicity and gender will play a role. The facilitator has to make sure that needs and interests of all stakeholders are considered.
