Performance Measurement Theory of Change: Logic Model

Measuring Performance • Inputs • Activities • Outputs • Outcomes • Impacts
Inputs/Resources Inputs are resources which potentially enable program effectiveness. Enabling protective factors may include funding, existing organizations, potential collaborating partners, existing organizational or interpersonal network, staff and volunteers, time, facilities, equipment, and supplies.
Activities Activities are processes, techniques, tools, events, technology and actions of the planned program. These may include products – promotional materials and educational curricula; services – education and training, counseling or health screening; and infrastructure – structure, relationships, and capacity used to bring about the desired results.
Outputs Outputs are the direct results of program activities. They are usually described in terms of the size and/or scope of the services and products delivered or produced by the program.
Outcomes Outcomes are specific changes in attitude, behaviors, knowledge, skills, status or level of functioning expected to result from program activities and which are most often expressed at an individual level.
Impacts Impacts are organizational, community, and/or system level changes expected to result from program activities, which might include improved conditions, increased capacity and/or changes in the policy arena.
