According to my experience, three most common flaws in program logic are: (1) use of indicators instead of goals and objectives (the goals are “too SMART”), (2) lack of program/project goals, and (3) lack of logical harmonization between programs and projects. Reconstruction of program logic is development of a comprehensive chain of reasoning that links investments into a program with the program results by piecing together bits of evidence collected in the course of program evaluation. In this presentation I will provide examples of typical flaws in program logic, suggest how to fix them in the course of evaluation, and argue that reconstruction of program logic should be an essential part of most evaluations and one of evaluators’ competencies

Their roles have involved development of a program logic model, design of a door-to-door survey, responding to the survey, data analysis and interpretation

The presentation highlights both the development process and the results including a discussion of the context, program logic, evaluation issues, evaluation questions, high-level descriptions of priority evaluation activities, a timeline, and a budget

We compare and contrast the original program logic model with the enhanced theoretical model incorporating evaluation findings

It presents program context and the program logic model and focuses on the methodological approaches used to establish indicators of implementation outcomes and development of appropriate instruments aligned with the components of the logic model

First, we will recapture the utility of program logic modeling as a simple discipline, using cases in public health and human services to explore the steps for constructing, refining and validating models

How do we learn from exemplars? What counts as an exemplar (a model to be followed strictly, an inspiration, a typical case, or a cautionary tale?)? How do we identify, document and analyse them? How do we translate lessons from them into different contexts? This session demonstrates ways of...
