Accessible Theories of Change
Making ToCs accessible ensures that all stakeholders, regardless of their technical expertise, can contribute meaningfully to the process and understand its outcomes.
How do we expect change to happen? What evidence underlies our expectations? A theory of change lays out the pathways through which we expect a set of strategies and activities to create change. We develop a theory of change to guide programme design, define the milestones to track along the way, determine the outcomes to evaluate impact, articulate the core programme elements, and share with stakeholders the reasons for each step.
Making ToCs accessible ensures that all stakeholders, regardless of their technical expertise, can contribute meaningfully to the process and understand its outcomes.
