Introduction

A logical framework is an important part of monitoring and evaluating the progress and success of the project. The Logical framework provides various components of a project such as goal, objectives, activities, results and indicators. Indicators are linked to data anticipated to be collected during monitoring and evaluation of projects. Indicators provide a standard against which to measure impact brought about by project activities. Open Data Kit (ODK) helps to collect accurate and timely data for decision making. Whereas, Stata support data analysis, Quantum GIS helps in visualization of spatial data collected using ODK.
