What's your Theory of Change?
Donors are increasingly asking this question. Theory of Change is a powerful methodology for planning, implementing, and evaluating social change initiatives, including those in relief, humanitarian, and development projects. It provides a detailed road-map outlining the steps and conditions required to achieve desired outcomes.
Through a Theory of Change, projects can:
- Clarify project purpose and intended impact
- Align efforts with desired outcomes
- Test and validate underlying assumptions to ensure project viability
- Steer projects more effectively towards desired outcomes
In the four videos, we explore:
- What is a Theory of Change?
