Instead, it offers curated tools, reports, and templates to help Federal staff who work with evaluators, see the need for evaluation but don't know where to start, or want to use evaluation findings to inform their decisions.
Report providing information on how to develop a program logic model. Format is a PDF of a slide deck. Goal of the report is to describe the function of a logic model, identify key components, walk through developing a logic model, and describe how it can be used for evaluation planning.
