Impact Desired
Agents receive funding and implement projects that foster clientele’s growth, development and quality of life.
Logic Model – Situation & Priorities
Situation should include:
Importance of issue
How issue was identified
How education helps
A target audience
Clearly stated program goal(s)
Priorities might include:
Organizational program priorities
Local grassroots program priorities
Mission and vision
Values
Mandates
Resources
Local dynamics
Collaborators
Competitors
Situation Example
The 2011 Ag Summary reports the gross farm value of soybeans in XYZ Parish was $15.5 million. Data in the LA Ag Summary has shown a steady decrease in the acreage of soybeans produced in XYZ Parish over the last 5 years. Reducing input costs by educating producers on ways to improve efficiency can help them stay in business. One hundred twenty soybean producers in XYZ Parish will be targeted with this program. The goal of this program is for XYZ Parish soybean farmers to adopt recommended farm practices to achieve sustainable management of their soybean resources and protect the environment.
Logic Model – Outcomes & Impacts
Long term impacts –What big effects would you expect?
Medium term outcomes – What clientele actions would you expect?
Short term outcomes –What learning would you expect?
Conditions - Social, civic, economic, environmental
Action - Behavior, practice, policy, decision-making, social action
Learning - Awareness, knowledge, attitudes, skills, opinions, aspirations, motivations

Logic Model – Evaluation Section
Provides program description that guides evaluation process that helps to:
know what and when to measure
match evaluation to the program
focus on key, important information
Program Logic Model Checklist
Does the logic model:
Include a listing of all inputs that will be needed for the program?
Include details of the activities listed?
Include a list of characteristics and intended number of targeted participants?
Make sequential and logical connections between inputs, outputs and outcomes?
