4. Icebreaker:

5. Program Development Cycle
Design is planning
Planning & Design
Implementation / Execution & Monitoring/ Documentation
Evaluation/ Consultation/ Assess & Analyze
Program change/adjustment
Audience Feedback
Recommendations

6. Intentional Intersections

7. Intentional Intersections
Intentional Program Design is the inter-section, interlocking ,cross linking and consistency between the Need (Why& Who), Intended Results (What) and Action/Strategies (How)

8. Basic Practice-Situation Awareness
What is Intentional Program Design
Basic Practice-Situation Awareness
Know your audience or community-(age/gender/geography)
Engage your community in a meaningful way
Map needs and assets
Articulate a community shared goal/objective
Create inclusive and accessible strategies & systems
Add value through hands on and real life experiences
Create safe and productive spaces
Always plan ahead- outreach, recruitment, retention
Define: Intention or intentional- intended, done on purpose, deliberate

9. Community Consultation
Intentional
Community Consultation
Why the program?- consult, convene, converse
Identify community needs, assets, stakeholders and gaps
What is the desired result?- consult, convene, converse
Identify community(audience) generated solutions
How will this be achieved?
Identify what community (audience) thinks/feel about intended methods, strategies, systems, structures, activities

11. Logic Model: A Tool for Program Design
“A systematic and visual way”
to present and share your understanding of the relationships between;
Need/Issue
Vision/Impact
Outcomes
Activities-
Outputs
Resources

12. Elements of a Logic Model
Program logic model elements are defined as follows:
1.Need/Issue
Problem statement: the issue or challenge your program is going to address, the target audience-(group/community/geography)
 2.Vision-Impact-Ultimate Outcome
The vision or impact is the desired end result. This is represents the desired state of affairs or ideal situation-
3.Outcomes
Outcomes are changes or benefits for program participants or the organizations. They often include specific changes in awareness, knowledge, skill, practice and behavior. Outcomes are relative and should be specified for the idea or project described. However, short term is often 1 to 3 years –First/Early Outcomes , medium-term outcomes 4 to 6 years-Intermediate Outcomes. Long-term outcomes might be achieved in 7 to 10 years-Penultimate Outcomes.

13. Elements of a Logic Model
Outcomes are influences and affected by Activities, Resources, and Outputs.  
4.Activities are the specific actions that make up the program. They reflect tools, processes, events, and technology that is used in the program. Activities are interventions that enable the achievement of the desired changes or results.
5.Resources are essential for activities to occur. They can include human, financial, organizational, community, or systems resources in any combination. Sometimes resources are called inputs.
 6.Outputs are what specific activities produce or create. They are some time called deliverables. Outputs are often quantified and qualified in some way.

14. Example of a Logic Model:

15. Logic Model: “What” & “Why”
“What” : Your Example
“Why”
To provide stakeholders with a road map describing the sequence of events connecting the need for the planned program with the desired results
To demonstrate how human and financial investments can contribute to achieving your intended program goals
