Theory of Change

Identify the big problem and potential solutions to solve it

A Theory of Change (ToC) shows how a desired change is expected, with all of the possible pathways leading to change, and why you think they lead to change.

When planning an initiative, theory can guide decisions about design and set up hypotheses to test over time.

PROGRAM EVALUATION

ToCs explain how and why a program is expected to work. They make the connection between programmers’ efforts and the outcomes and impact they hope to achieve, like improved health, enhanced education, economic empowerment, or quality of life.

Programming ToCs involve a broad analysis of the system that needs transformation, identifying and involving key actors, initial program design and strategic choices, and critical assumptions. They form the basis for adaptive management and monitoring, evaluation and learning during implementation.
