NPP 5: Logic Modeling and Evaluation

Program operations and evaluation can be greatly strengthened by the development of a logic model that captures program strategies and unpacks them as distinct elements such as inputs, outputs, outcomes, and impacts.  A Logic Model is a tool that will help you to articulate what your program is trying to achieve and how you expect to achieve it.  The goal of this workshop is to move your organization beyond the evaluation jargon and build your ability to create a logic model for your organization.  This three-hour training will give you a ‘hands on’ experience so that you 1) understand the core elements of a logic model, 2) are familiar with the uses of logic models, i.e. for program development, evaluation planning and communication and marketing, and 3) begin to articulate the strategies for change that drives your work.
