7 Goal Summarizes the ultimate direction or desired achievement of a program. What are you trying to accomplish? High level. (STEP 3) Sample program logic model outline Population(s) of interest Long-term outcome objectives Short-term outcome objectives Activities Specify the target population you intend to serve. May have multiple target groups. (STEP 3) What is the expected result for the target group- long-term? A brief statement specifying desired impact. (STEP 3) What is the expected result for the target group- short-term? A brief statement specifying the results that need to occur before long-term impact can be achieved. (STEP 3) What will you be doing or delivering? (STEP 4) Outputs/process objectives What are the results of your activities? (STEP 4) Resources Staff, budget, in-kind donations? (STEP 1) 7

8 Parts of a Logic Model What does the program do? For whom? How? Using What? What is the expected result for the population of interest? Goal Population of Interest/Target Strategies Activities Resources/ Inputs Process Objectives/Outputs Outcomes Shows the link between items Boxes Arrows 8

9 Logic models support planning by: Showing connections between key aspects of a program Noting gaps and inconsistencies within a program Providing an effective communication tool Involving stakeholders in program planning Building a common understanding of what a program is all about and how the parts fit together A logic model makes you think about the linkages between specific activities, outputs and outcomes. What outputs result from each activity? What outcome resulted from the output? 9

10 Logic models support evaluation by: Matching objectives with associated indicators Serving as a resource for evaluability assessments Aiding in the identification of success indicators Demonstrating accountability Providing a starting point for engaging stakeholders in participatory evaluations Start with the objectiveswhich are the most important to evaluate? Then establish indicators for your objectives. 10

11 Super Simple Logic Model Activity Workshop to promote understanding and practice of logic models Outcome Increased understanding of purpose/elements of logic models Goal Increased use of logic models among workshop participants 11
