This document discusses goals, objectives, and logic models for program planning and evaluation. It defines what goals and objectives are, and outlines best practices for writing them. Goals should be broad statements of desired impact, while objectives need to be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. A logic model uses a series of "if-then" relationships to connect program resources to activities, outputs and outcomes. It is a visual way to organize goals and objectives. Developing high quality goals and objectives leads to better program design, implementation and sustainability.
