The logic of evaluation shows the reasoning associated with evaluative research. What underlies the design, implementation and evaluation of a program is a way of thinking focused on assessing the purposes and content of programs aimed at addressing needs that will guide us in the collection of information to evaluate the quality of the program itself, its adequacy to the needs it aims to address, its planning, its application and its results, to guide improvements in the immediate, medium and long term. Quality is the adequacy of the results to the specified characteristics. Logic models, through their diagram, show, in a graphic way, the theory of change, indicating the links between needs and goals, interventions, with their strategies and resources, leading to the achievement of results. It uses mixed research methods, qualitative and quantitative, to collect and analyze information about every one of its dimensions: needs, design, planification, application and results of the program.
