About this file

This file is a Logic Model and Theory of Change template designed to guide applicants in developing a comprehensive project framework for the "Safeguarding U.S. Critical Minerals Supply Chains- Tunisia" cooperative agreement. The template requires applicants to articulate a problem statement, main project goal, and one or more specific project objectives. For each objective, applicants must define the needs their project addresses, identify inputs (human and financial resources including staff, materials, equipment, and partners), describe planned activities, specify outputs (quantified products, resources developed, participants trained, and beneficiaries reached), and distinguish between short-term outcomes (0-6 months post-activity, such as increased awareness or improved skills) and long-term outcomes (6+ months post-activity, such as sustained behavior change or adoption of best practices).

The template also requires applicants to document underlying assumptions about factors necessary for project success and external factors beyond project control that could affect implementation (such as changes in government policy, political instability, or competing donor involvement). Additionally, applicants must develop a Theory of Change statement using if-then logic that explains how and why proposed outcomes will achieve stated project objectives, incorporating rationale, research, or reasoning for the intervention. This template is a foundational planning tool rather than substantive guidance specific to the mineral supply chain initiative, and applicants should complete it as part of their proposal development process to demonstrate logical linkages between needs, activities, outputs, and anticipated short- and long-term impacts.

Logic Model Template

Problem Statement

[State the main problem statement. What problems or issues does the project attempt to solve of address?]

Main Project Goal

[State the main project goal. The following Project Objectives will feed into this Main Project Goal, which will in turn support the overarching IR.]

Project Objective 1: [State the project objective here and divide the logic model by each objective]

Needs
Inputs
Activities
Outputs

(immediately after activity) Short-Term Outcomes (0-6 months after activity) Long-Term Outcomes (6+ months after activity)

What are the needs of the community, based on the social, political, and economic condition of the country or region?
What human and financial resources will be used for this project? Inputs are the resources put into the project- what you invest.

[Examples:

Staff

Money

Materials

Equipment

Partners] What activities will be conducted to achieve project objectives? Activities are what you do.

[Examples:

Conduct workshops, meetings.

Provide trainings.

Develop curriculum of applications.

Deliver services.] What will be produced or delivered and who will participate in activities? Outputs are what you produce/create/deliver.

[Examples:

# Products created.

# Resources developed.

# Participants trained.

# Services delivered.

# Beneficiaries reached.] What changes will happen immediately after to six months after an activity has been implemented? Short-Term Outcomes are the results of your outputs.

[Examples:

Increased awareness or knowledge.

Improved skills.

Increased access to services or products.

Reported change.] What long-term changes will occur in the social, cultural, political, or economic context? These could be changes in behaviors, actions, or conditions in the country. Long-Term Outcomes are relatively enduring results of your outputs.

[Examples:

Change in behavior.

Adoption of best practices.

Sustained access to services or applications]

Project Objective 2: [State secondary project objective here. Add additional Project Objective sections as necessary to report on all project objectives]

Needs
Inputs
Activities
Outputs

(immediately after activity) Short-Term Outcomes (0-6 months after activity) Long-Term Outcomes (6+ months after activity)

Assumptions
External Factors

What factors need to occur, or which stakeholder or grantees need to be involved, for the project to be successful? How and why will proposed activities lead to proposed outputs, and how will outputs lead to outcomes?

[Country’s political and economic condition; Skills and knowledge level of intended beneficiary; Implementer’s organizational capacity; Level of engagement by stakeholder] What factors that are not in the control of the project- e.g. changes in government policies or the political situation- could affect expected activities, outputs, and outcomes?

[Change in government policies, such as NGO restrictions; Change in political situation, such as coup or civil unrest; Involvement from other donors and implementers]

Theory of Change Statement

Describes how and why a program is expected to achieve its stated outcomes using if-then language.

If [insert project outcomes] then [insert project objectives], because [insert rationale/ research/ reasoning for this intervention to achieve your objectives]
