TBS RPIA Program Logic Model
The logic model depicts the activities, outputs, and immediate, intermediate, and final outcomes of the RPIA Program.
The three activities outlined in the logic model are those funded by the RPIA Program and undertaken by recipient departments. These activities are defined as follows:
- Establishing expedient and flexible contribution agreements
- Identifying and seizing opportunities to leverage external partners
- Scanning academic and professional communities for activities that could further key departmental objectives
These activities resulted in two outputs and are defined as follows:
- Conferences, workshops, seminars, and other knowledge and outreach activities
- Research analysis and data collection
Intended impacts of activities are called outcomes, and they are the reason for conducting activities.
Immediate outcomes occur in the short term, typically within one year of carrying out an activity. The RPIA Program logic model has three immediate outcomes, which are defined as follows:
- Access to an expanded knowledge base on subjects of interest
- Better-informed policy context and expanded community of interest
- Increased leverage of resources or other capacities from external partners toward departmental objectives
Intermediate outcomes occur after immediate outcomes. The RPIA Program logic model has three intermediate outcomes and are defines as follows:
- Enhanced policies and programs of the department
- Increased contribution to knowledge related to emerging policy issues of interest to the department
- Departmental capacity to produce thorough and relevant analysis is enhanced
Final outcomes occur as a result of the achievement of intermediate outcomes. The RPIA Program logic model has two final outcomes and are defined as follows:
- Contribution to the advancement of public service management and public policy research
- Contribution to the effectiveness of public service management practices, reporting, and service delivery to the public
