Turn your vision for change into a clear, connected program plan.

Bring greater focus to your work with the Program Planning Essentials Bundle from the International Development Extension Agency (IDEA). These two complementary, fillable templates help you organize your ideas, connect your activities to intended results, and communicate your program’s direction. Use them to plan a new initiative, review an existing project, or guide a productive planning conversation with your team.

The Theory of Change template provides a visual framework for connecting your inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and intended impact. Dedicated space for assumptions and risks encourages you to think beyond what you hope to accomplish and consider the conditions that could influence success. Use it to map how your work is expected to contribute to meaningful change.

The Logic Model template adds structure to your program planning with sections for your situation, priorities, resources, activities, and the people you will reach. Organize your intended results across short-term learning, medium-term action, and long-term changes in conditions, while keeping assumptions, external factors, and evaluation in view. Together, the templates offer two useful perspectives on the same essential question: How will your work contribute to the results you want to see?

Whether you lead a nonprofit, ministry, agricultural-development initiative, or community program, bring these tools into team workshops, proposal preparation, and conversations with partners and supporters. Purchase both templates for $12 and save $2 compared with buying them separately. Start with a shared vision, clarify your intended results, and give your team a practical framework for planning with purpose.

Includes two single-page, fillable Portable Document Format (PDF) templates, sized 18" x 12". Digital download only; no physical product will be shipped. Enter your own program information in the designated fields. Template layouts and IDEA branding remain fixed.
