• nonprofit or NGO program design
• grant proposal structure
• RBM frameworks
• theory of change
• logframes
• monitoring and evaluation
• donor-aligned project planning
• SDG alignment
• development project design

What this skill can generate

This skill can produce:

RBM results chain

Inputs → Activities → Outputs → Outcomes → Impact

Inputs
Resources required for implementation.

Activities
Actions delivered by the project.

Outputs
Direct measurable deliverables.

Outcomes
Short- and medium-term changes.

Impact
Long-term change created by the project.

Logframe table generator

Results Level Indicators Means of Verification Assumptions

Impact long-term impact national statistics, political indicators sector reports stability

Outcomes outcome surveys, administrative stakeholder indicators data engagement

Outputs measurable project reports partner deliverables capacity

Activities key activity reports operational implementation feasibility actions

SDG mapping

Map project outcomes to relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and explain how the program contributes.
