Kaveri Pharma Ltd runs a health camp programme. Its CSR team builds a table linking inputs (doctors, medicines), activities (camps held), outputs (patients treated), outcomes (reduced hospital visits) and long-term impact. Which tool is this?
The tool is a logical framework, or theory of change matrix. It maps inputs to activities, outputs, outcomes and long-term impact, which lets assessors judge whether the project's intended results are achieved. It is distinct from financial audits or peer review.
