A logic model is a visual tool or representation that shows how a program works. A program or initiative is a set of interventions for implementation within a set time frame and budget. A logic model specifically illustrates the relationships between the resources of a program, its activities you do, and the desired results. Logic models are important because they help provide a structure to support implementation of a program and make it easier to plan, communicate, and evaluate program efforts. They serve as a road map to ensure that all program staff and outside personnel understand the necessary inputs and activities, how the program works, and what the program aims to achieve. This tip sheet and template will guide users through the process of developing a comprehensive and well-thought-out plan for a program.
