Praise for The Logic Mode Guidebook
“A very thorough treatment of the practice of logic modeling with concrete guidance based on actual programs and projects.

The Guidebook leads the field in providing both the theory and the practice of using logic models as a critical management tool – especially for the nonprofit sector.

This is all good teaching methodology…Logic models are an important tool in planning and evaluation. Both planners and evaluators should know how to use them.”
