DescriptionThis resource explains the concept of Theory of Change, a methodological framework used to plan, implement and evaluate social programmes and policy interventions. It describes how a Theory of Change maps the pathway from activities and interventions to long-term outcomes by identifying the conditions and assumptions required for change to occur, often visualised in an outcomes framework. The approach encourages practitioners to start with the desired long-term goal and work backwards to determine the necessary intermediate outcomes and actions, helping clarify causal links and measurable indicators of success.Related topicEvaluation in PCVELinkRead the document
