Résumé

This workshop builds on participants’ experience in evaluation and the use of logic models. It outlines structures of logic models and shows how to test a model for consistency and vertical and horizontal logic. The workshop builds on the facilitator’s experience in Canada and internationally and includes both complex evaluations of long term projects and the simple project and its appropriate model. The workshop includes strategies for dealing with confounders and exogenous factors that make attribution difficult.
