Section 6 Figure

This is an example that indicates how the regulatory activities are situated in the PAA. The sample shows multiple levels of program activities, sub-activities and sub-sub-activities and how they relate to one another.

Appendix B Figure 1: Logic Model Example

Figure 1 consists of a simple example of a logic model. In this example, boxes are aligned from left to right with the first rectangular box on the left representing “Inputs” which are full time equivalents (FTEs), followed by three “activities” boxes which represent: 1) the collection of information; 2) design regulations; and, 3) Inspection and enforcement actions. The next set of boxes represents the “Outputs” and the three boxes include: 1) Information campaigns; 2) regulations; and, e) Inspection reports. The next box represents “Reach” which are the stakeholders, Canadians, NGOs, industry, other jurisdictions. The next box to the right represents “Immediate Outcomes” which is the awareness of new regulatory requirements. The next item is “Intermediate Outcomes” and the box contains “compliance with regulations” as the intermediate outcome and the last section of the logic model is “Ultimate Outcome” which contain “reduction in health risk” in the final box to the right. Below the boxes is a large arrow pointing to the right side of the diagram which helps to underscore the idea that as you move away from inputs, activities and outputs and into the reach and outcomes, a program has less and less control over the chain of results and the outcomes you are looking for.
