What is in the template

  • Five columns: inputs, activities, outputs, short term outcomes and long term outcomes.
  • A worked example row from a youth vaping prevention program, so you can see the level of detail that works.
  • Space for assumptions and for the indicators you will use to measure each outcome.

How to use it

  1. Start with the long term outcome on the right. Make it specific and measurable.
  2. Work left: what has to change first for that outcome to happen?
  3. List the activities that will drive those changes, and the resources you need.
  4. Add the outputs you will count, then the indicators for each outcome.
  5. Check that every activity connects to an outcome, and that it all fits on one page.
