Theory of change is an approach to project design that describes a process of planned change, from the assumptions that guide its design, the planned interventions and outcomes to the longer-term impacts it seeks to achieve. It is both a product that helps to visually communicate a programme logic, and a process of articulating the implicit assumptions about how and why change happens. This workshop introduces participants to Theory of Change as an approach, product and a process for programme design and evaluation
Content
Having completed the course, participants will understand:
• Theory of change as a product and a process
• Theory of change as an approach to dealing with complexity
• How ToC, logic models, logframes etc. relate to one another
• How to use ToC as a tool for programme design and evaluation
• The importance of being clear about why change happens – linking pathways of change to programme theories
• How assumptions and pre-conditions build your pathways to change
• How to communicate a theory of change
• How to use theory of change to shape your evaluation and learning
Benefits of attending
Participants will be able to:
• Develop a theory of change
• Draw a diagrammatic representation of their TOC
• Use Theory of Change for an evaluation
