Logic model concept is defined as a picture showing how an organization or a project does its works and as a
visual and systematic tool which is used to define and determine the relationships between the resources needed to
apply a program, the planned activities and the goals that are aimed to achieve (W.K. Kellogg Foundation,
2004:1). Logic models are easy, clear and understandable systems for organizing information that enable key
stakeholders to have a picture of how programs work (Wells and Arthur–Banning, 2008: 189). The aim of logic
model firstly and especially is to determine the relationships between program outcomes and elements. Logic
model serves numerous functions, including assisting evaluators to focus the evaluation on the principal elements
of the program, providing staff and other stakeholders with a common understanding of program services and
goals, identifying a set of performance indicators that may be used to develop a monitoring system and
summarizing performance for funders and decision makers (Gugiu and Rodriguez–Campos, 2007: 340). While
designing the logic model, aimed outcomes, inputs and activities that are necessary to achieve those outcomes,
assumptions about the program and external factors that may affect the process are determined carefully (Wilder
Research Center, 2008: 340). The use of logic model in the phase of composing the action plans which plays an
important role in organizations’ success is advantageous in order to provide and sustain productivity.
