Level 1 typically corresponds to the overall goal of the project, while subsequent levels (e.g., Level 2, Level 3) break down the goal into more specific and measurable results.

A result refers to a specific change or outcome that a project or program aims to achieve. It represents a key achievement contributing to the overall goal. Results are often organized hierarchically to facilitate a clear understanding of the intended impact and outcomes.ve.
Indicator:
An indicator is a specific, observable, and measurable variable used to assess progress toward achieving a result or outcome. Indicators provide quantitative or qualitative data that enable the evaluation of project performance. They serve as benchmarks or signals, helping to gauge whether activities are on track and contributing to the desired changes outlined in the logframe.
