There are number of parts that we must consider as we move into doing program evaluation.
In preparing for a program evaluation, the following would be some of the steps to take.

There are a number of reasons why it is useful to have a logic model for a program.

Resources/Inputs: The human, financial, organizational, and community resources a program has available to direct toward doing the work
Activities: What the program does with its resources (processes, tools, events, technology, actions)

Outcomes: Specific changes in program participants’ behavior, knowledge, skills, level of functioning, etc.
Impact: Organizational, community, or systems-level changes expected as a result of the program
