The Logic Model

A logic model is a visual tool that maps out how a program or initiative works, illustrating the connection between resources, activities, and results. It shows the steps needed to achieve desired goals—starting with inputs (like funding and staff), then activities (like training or outreach), leading to outputs (such as the number of people served), and ultimately resulting in outcomes (like improved community health). This helps stakeholders understand, plan, and evaluate the effectiveness of a program by clarifying the essential components and their relationships.
