The advantage of the Logical Framework is that activity plans and budgets are clearly linked to the objectives. It provides the practical mechanism by which project activities are linked to objectives and community strategy, and assumptions and factors affecting sustainability are brought into the project design. The results of the exercises within the Identification stage are transferred to the Logical Framework.

The Logical Framework provides the objectives for the monitoring system and it also enables a simple way to redesign a project if required. The Logical Framework can be included in Terms of Reference or job descriptions when recruiting as it describes everything that has to be done in the project.
