What Is a Logic Model?
• A picture of a program.
• A simple description of the program “theory” or “action” which explains the program.
• Logical chain of connections showing what the program is to accomplish.
• A series of “if-then” relationships.
Simple Logic Model
A graphic representation that shows logical relationships between inputs, outputs and outcomes relative to a situation.S

Definitions
Logic model: a simple flow diagram of how a program is meant to work
Inputs: factors/resources used by programs to conduct activities and achieve objectives
Activities/processes: what a program does with its inputs
Outputs: products of activities Outcomes: impact of service on participant’s life Outcome indicators: information used to determine if
outcome is achieved

Resources/Inputs Activities Outputs Outcomes Impact
Certain resources are needed to operate your program
If you have access to them, then you can use them to accomplish your planned activities
If you accomplish your planned activities, then you will hopefully deliver the amount of product and/or service that you intended
If you accomplish your planned activities to the extent you intended, then your participants will benefit in specific ways.
If these benefits to participants are achieved, then certain longer term changes in beneficiaries’ circumstances, organizations, communities, or systems might be expected to occur
Your planned Work Your Intended Results

IF a project has these inputs THEN it can provide these activities.
IF a project provides these activities THEN it can produce these outputs.
IF a project produces these outputs THEN participants will have these changes in knowledge, attitudes or skills.
IF participants have these changes in knowledge, attitudes or skills THEN they will have these changes in being.
