Developing a logic model
A logic model is…………

• A depiction of program showing what the program

will do and what it is to accomplish
• A series of ‘’if-then’’ relationship that, if
implemented as intended, lead to the desired
outcomes
• The core of program planning and evaluation
A logic model can be applied to……
 A small program
 A process( i.e. a team working together)
 A large multi-component program
 Or even an organization or business

Actually Logic Model is the part of

Total Quality Management(TQM).
 Logic is

-the principles of reasoning

-reasonable
-the relationship of each other or a whole

Model is

-small objects representing another, often larger object

-preliminary pattern serving as a plan
-tentative description of a system or theory that
accounts for all its known properties
 Simplest form Logic Model

Inputs Outputs Outcomes

In its simplest form, a logic model is a graphic representation that shows the
logical relationships between:
 The resources that go into the program – INPUTS
 The activities the program undertakes – OUTPUTS
 The changes or benefits that result – OUTCOMES

What logic model is not…….

 A theory
 A reality
 A evaluation model or method

It is a framework for describing relationships between

investments, activities, and results.
It provides a common approach for integrating planning,
implementation, evaluation and reporting.
 A bit of history

Let’s not think that this Logic Model is brand new. Actually, the concepts have been around since the late 1960’s in the
writings of Suchman, 1967 and Wholey’s evaluability assessment model.

It has come to the forefront again, and is being developed and applied in a variety of settings as a result of a
variety of factors:

Private sector: part of total quality management and performance measurement movement

Public sector, the GPRA has moved all federal agencies to focus on results and link investments to results, not just
activities.

Non-profit sector is concerned with improving programs to produce valued impacts with the United Way being
a frontrunner in outcome measurement using the logic model.

International programs. The players in the international arena for a long time have used variations of a logic model. The
Log Frame of the US Agency for International Development of the 1980’s is a historical precedent to the current logic
modeling discourse.

And, professional evaluators have played a prominent role in using and developing the logic model. This is
why it is often called an ‘evaluation framework.’ This is a result of evaluators being asked to evaluate impact
and finding, too often, that programs didn’t exist, or weren’t being implemented in a way that would achieve
the expected impact. Consequently, evaluators began working with programmers to lay out the logic of
programs. We see the outgrowth particularly in Chen’s theory- driven evaluation (1990) and Weiss (1997)
theory-based evaluation.

Benefits of a Logic Model

-Helping members define a common understanding of the

partnership goals and activities.

-Identifying indicators of success in the short and long term.

-Determining areas where research or technical support is
needed.

-Supporting future efforts to evaluate the partnership.

-Communicating about the partnership to external stakeholders
concisely.
