Thank you for joining this short training on THEORY OF CHANGE.

There's a link below to the full course, where we go deep into causal pathways, assumptions, dealing with complexity and integrating M&E systems into Theory of Change.

And feel free to drop any feedback below. I'd love to hear how this course was for you.

Thank you!
