Peer Activity 8 - A Logical Framework Approach for Evidence-Based Program Implementation and Evaluation (360 minutes)
In this activity, you will use your findings from Peer Activity 8’s situational analysis to draft a logical framework for evidence-based program implementation and evaluation.
Step 1. Review
Review the learning resources for this module, especially the ones focused on developing a log frame approach and monitoring and evaluation tools. Additionally, review the situational analysis product from Peer Activity 7. This will be used in this activity.
Step 2. Draft
Based on your situational analysis product, draft a logical framework for evidence-based program implementation and evaluation. The log frame should list your program activities, short-term outputs, medium-term outcomes, and long-term goals to address the problem selected in peer activity 7. The logframe must summarize the following:
- The program's hierarchy of objectives.
- Indicators to measure changes connected to an intervention
- Assumptions beyond the program’s direct control that are necessary to ensure the program’s success.
Step 3. Respond
Respond by placing your drafted log frame in the table below. The contents of this table should be within 300-700 words only.
Step 4. Share
To share your work, click on the “Add a new discussion topic” button under this post and paste your operational assessment table, including the summary in the “Message” box. Make sure to reference others’ intellectual property when necessary. All references should follow 7th Edition APA formatting.
