"This guide promotes a planned and structured approach to developing program logic and includes information on: the meaning and purpose of program logic; when and how to develop program logic; how program logic can be used, with a particular focus on planning an evaluation. A program logic model is a schematic representation that describes how a program is intended to work by linking activities with outputs, intermediate impacts and longer term outcomes. Program logic aims to show the intended causal links for a program." (Page 4)
