Abstract

The concept of Theory of Change (ToC) is introduced as a method for understanding and planning for change. It involves defining long-term goals, identifying necessary steps to achieve them, and analyzing the assumptions underlying the change process. ToC can be used for various purposes, such as program design, evaluation, collaboration, and decision-making. The article outlines eight steps for developing a ToC, emphasizing the importance of stakeholder participation, regular review, and power analysis. It also discusses the integration of monitoring, evaluation, and learning into the ToC process to promote continuous learning and adaptation. – AI-generated abstract.
