Logic Model Analysis

A logic model is a systematic, visual representation of how a program is understood to work: it lays out the logical relationships among the resources invested (inputs), the things done (activities), the products of those activities (outputs), and the changes expected to follow (outcomes and impact). Logic model analysis is the practice of building, examining and using these models to plan programs, guide implementation, and structure evaluation. Popularised by the United Way and codified in the W.K. Kellogg Foundation's widely used 2004 Logic Model Development Guide, it has become the workhorse framework of program planning and evaluation.
