Figure 6.2: A Logic Model103
SITUATION ANALYSIS
An assessment of a human rights situation
that provides information for planning,
carrying out and evaluating a human rights
education activity.
INPUTS
The resources required to carry out and
evaluate a human rights education activity.
OUTPUTS
The type of human rights education activity
carried out and the participants and
stakeholders involved.
OUTCOMES
The results sought from the human rights
activity against which the activity will be
monitored and evaluated.
The Logic Model guides each of the three stages of a human rights education activity:
• During the design and planning stage, the human rights educator/NHRI reviews the current
situation, agrees the desired outcomes, identifies the resources required (inputs) and develops
the human rights education plan (outputs).
• During the implementation stage, the human rights educator/NHRI carries out the human
rights education plan and at specific times pauses to monitor whether the activity is progressing
toward its outcomes. If it is not, necessary adjustments are made to the plan.
• During the evaluation stage, the human rights educator/NHRI measures and reports on the
achievement of the outcomes.
A Logic Model can apply to many levels of human rights education activity; a national, community or
organizational activity, a project plan, an hour-long workshop or an individual work plan.
As long as it includes the key elements, a Logic Model can be constructed in any shape that works
best for those involved and the resources available. For example, a Logic Model could be drawn on big
sheets of paper, with sticky notes on a wall, on a computer screen or in some other form. However it is
created, the Logic Model provides a framework for the life of the activity.
