Western Hemisphere Counterterrorism Legal and Financial Disruption Program

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) released a Logic Model How-To Guide in February 2026 to assist CT grant applicants and grantees in developing logic models and theories of change. Mandated by 18 FAM 301.4-2, these models are essential for articulating how programs contribute to CT outcomes by documenting linkages between inputs, activities, outputs, and expected changes. The guide defines components like inputs (resources), activities (actions), outputs (direct results), and CT outcomes, which are program-specific changes outlined in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). It also covers objectives, goals (both from the NOFO), assumptions (factors influencing success), and the theory of change (explaining why activities lead to outcomes). A template and an illustrative example are provided to guide applicants in preparing their proposals' logic models, emphasizing it as a reference, not a substitute for developing their own.

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) provides a Logic Model How-To Guide for grant applicants and grantees. This guide, mandated by 18 FAM 301.4-2, helps develop and refine logic models and theories of change, articulating how programs contribute to CT outcomes. A logic model visually maps the linkages between program inputs (resources), activities, outputs (products/services), and outcomes (achievements). The guide details components like inputs (staff, equipment), activities (trainings, meetings), outputs (participants, completed curricula), CT outcomes, objectives, goals, and assumptions. It also requires a

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) released a Logic Model How-To Guide in February 2026 to assist grant applicants and grantees in developing and refining logic models and theories of change. Mandated by 18 FAM 301.4-2, these models are essential for articulating how programs achieve stated CT outcomes. The guide defines logic models as visual representations mapping program inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes, providing a framework for monitoring and evaluation. It details components like inputs (resources), activities (actions), outputs (products/services), CT outcomes, objectives, goals, and assumptions. The document also includes a template and an illustrative example to clarify how these elements connect, emphasizing that objectives and goals should be integrated from the program's Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) provides a How-To Guide for grant applicants and grantees to develop logic models and theories of change, as required by 18 FAM 301.4-2. This guide explains how logic models visually represent the linkages between program inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes, serving as a foundation for monitoring and evaluation. Key components include inputs (resources), activities (actions), outputs (direct results), CT outcomes (expected changes from the NOFO), objectives, goals, assumptions (factors for success), and a theory of change (why changes are expected). The document provides a template and an illustrative example to aid applicants in preparing their proposals, emphasizing the importance of incorporating details from the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) and other high-level strategies.

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) has announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Western Hemisphere Counterterrorism Legal and Financial Disruption Program.
