Session overview

Have you ever been asked to use or develop a program logic model? Ever wondered how program logic could help you?

Program logic models are visual representations, showing how an initiative is intended to work by linking program activities with outputs and short, medium- and longer-term outcomes. They can be a central part of program planning, communication, implementation and evaluation. This session will demonstrate program logic development, making sure to mind the (logic) gaps to make your model clear and accessible to a range of audiences.

If you are interested in understanding how to develop, review or use a program logic model, this is for you. This session has been designed for health professionals to introduce and explain program logic models. The session would suit people with a role in designing, implementing or evaluating health programs. It promotes using “if this, then what...” logic to make sure your program activities lead to outputs and outcomes without any logic leaps along with way. During this session, we will present our approach to:

• Describing and arranging elements of a program logic model

• Explaining different approaches to developing a program logic model

• Explaining how program logic can be used in design, implementation and evaluation

• Identifying different ways to present program logic

This training builds upon the basic outline in this Program logic animation.
