- Full Abstract
- Program logic is an approach to program planning. It captures the rationale behind a program, probing and outlining the anticipated cause-and-effect relationships between program activities, outputs, intermediate outcomes and longer term desired outcomes. A program logic is usually represented as a diagram or matrix that shows a series of expected consequences, not just a sequence of events. Program logic expresses how change is expected to occur. How the program logic is translated into operational plans will vary across programs and organisations. This guide explains a step-by-step process for developing program logic in the context of natural resource management (NRM). Users may choose to change the sequence of the steps or to use only some of the steps at different times. The guide may be used by trainers in program logic or by an NRM organisation to develop program logic for a specific program or project. The guide is presented in a user-friendly format and should be easily adapted to these different user applications. The guide outlines program logic definitions and context; how to get started; steps in building a program logic; and provides a range of worksheets, checklists and attachments to assist in the process. The full set of templates and checklists at the end of the guide are intended to be copied for use when users are developing program logic.
