About the Program Logic
Consistent with the Australian Government’s Natural Resource Management Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Improvement Framework, a program logic and sub logics have been developed for Regional Land Partnerships using a theory of change, program hierarchy approach. The program logic provides an overview of Regional Land Partnerships outcomes and how these outcomes will be achieved through the implementation of services appropriate to priority actions identified in plans, strategies, reports and advices.

Assumptions
- Delivery against outcomes is based on Regional Land Partnerships investments only.
- Regional Land Partnerships outcomes will contribute to the broader suite of actions, programs and strategies targeting Ramsar sites, Threatened Species Strategy priority species and EPBC listed priority species, World Heritage Properties and Threatened Ecological Communities.
- Regional Land Partnerships outcomes and projects will contribute to Australia meeting its relevant international obligations and/or national priorities.
- The cumulative impact of services will result in measurable progress and achievement of the Regional Land Partnerships Outcomes.
- Projects will be Fit for purpose (tailored to the design, purpose and objectives of the National Landcare Program), Credible (guided by best available science) Transparent (clearly demonstrate how public money has been spent and the resulting outputs and outcomes) and Cost effective (provides value for money and where possible, builds on achievements of previous natural resource management programs).
- Projects will deliver services that will contribute to delivering Regional Land Partnerships 5-Year Outcomes and Long-term Outcomes.
- The community, including Indigenous people and farmers, are able to participate in the planning and delivery of projects.
- Regional Land Partnerships will deliver on the Australian Government’s commitment to Closing the Gap on Indigenous Disadvantage (Closing the Gap) by providing opportunities for stronger Indigenous participation in the planning and delivery of investment and outcomes.
- There is an increase in the amount of investment leveraged from other funding sources as a part of the delivery of projects.
- Projects will be delivered using collaborative partnerships where this makes sense to do so.
- Investments that are on private owned/managed land are expected to generate public benefits.
