What are Logic Models & Theories of Change?

How will a Logic Model or Theory of Change benefit my organization?

Logic models (LM) are essential tools for guiding program planning, implementation, evaluation, and reporting. Acting as a roadmap, they show the sequence of activities and how desired outcomes are achieved, ensuring alignment with long-term goals.

A Theory of Change (TOC) defines the pathway through which change is expected to occur, detailing the connections between actions and outcomes.

Together, these tools are invaluable for strategic planning and evaluation, each offering distinct advantages.

What is a Theory of Change?

A theory of change provides a broader framework that outlines the long-term vision and what needs to happen to get there including the assumptions underlying how change will occur. By delving into the causal pathways and identifying key interventions, it ensures assumptions and measures of progress are explicit.
