“…More simply, it is a picture or diagram showing what is going to be done, and what the expected results of the program or evaluation are (Farell et al 2002), or a method of identifying and measuring the impacts of systems, organizations, or institutions (Julian 1997). In our analyses, a logic model was used to understand the system impacts of Islamic microfinance or community goals through the implementation of multiple short-term interventions (Figure 3.6).…”

This paper defines and describes a framework to classify program activities utilized by nonprofit organizations to achieve public benefit objectives. Drawing on theory and practice from strategy, nonprofit management, and program planning, the paper proposes five program activities differentiated by the value created. Several factors define and differentiate the approaches and serve as decision areas for nonprofit managers when developing program strategies. Classifying program activities facilitates further research as it provides a common language and framework to analyze strategic choices enacted in nonprofit organizations.

“…It is important to point out that the right hand side of the model (outcomes) is dependent on the left hand side (input, output) so that the full chain consists of Input-Output-Outcome, with each specific output constructed to affect specific outcomes. The most commonly used method in evaluation research for conceptualizing the change and action theories is through the development of a causal chain (also called model, link, attribution or pathway) [6,11,15] from which a program logic model is developed, although often the terms causal chain or model and logic models are used interchangeably [4,8,12,26,39,[61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. The causal chain represents a series of steps of causal assumptions along a continuum that reflect the change theory underlying the intervention [5,6,11,15].…”

Conceptual and Methodological Issues in Evaluations of Road Safety Countermeasures

Abstract:Researchers have a long history in the conduct of evaluations of road safety countermeasures. However, despite the strengths of some evaluative road safety evaluations that align with previous and current thinking on program evaluation, few published road safety evaluations have followed standard conceptualization and methodology outlined in numerous program evaluation textbooks, journal articles and Web-based handbooks. However, conceptual and methodological challenges inherent in many evaluations of road safety countermeasures can affect causal attribution. Valid determination of causal attribution is enhanced by use of relevant theory or hypotheses on the putative mechanisms or pathways of change and by the use of a process evaluation to assess the actual implementation process. This article provides a detailed description of the constructs of causal chain, program logic models and process evaluation. This article provides an example of how these standard methods of theory-driven evaluation can improve the interpretation of outcomes and enhance causal attribution of a road safety countermeasure.
