About this file
This file is a logic model template designed to guide applicants in structuring project proposals for the "Safeguarding U.S. Critical Minerals Supply Chains- Tunisia" cooperative agreement opportunity. The template provides a standardized framework for defining problem statements, main project goals, and specific project objectives that must address community needs across social, political, and economic dimensions. Applicants are required to identify inputs (human and financial resources), articulate specific activities to achieve objectives, and specify measurable outputs such as products created, participants trained, or beneficiaries reached. The template distinguishes between short-term outcomes (0-6 months post-activity), which capture immediate results such as increased awareness or improved skills, and long-term outcomes (6+ months post-activity), which demonstrate sustained behavioral or systemic changes within Tunisia's economic and social context.
The template requires applicants to document assumptions necessary for project success and identify external factors beyond project control that could affect implementation, such as changes in government policy or political instability. Applicants must also develop a theory of change statement using if-then logic that explains the causal pathway connecting project outcomes to stated objectives and the rationale supporting the intervention. This template is intended to ensure that proposals submitted to the Department of State Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs demonstrate clear strategic alignment with the program's objective of advancing transparent, private-sector-led phosphate development and strengthening U.S.-Tunisia trade and investment partnerships to support Tunisia's economic development and export capacity.

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]
