Theory of Change Articulating your project’s design theory

Design Theory? What is it that you are trying to do? How will it deliver a change in something and what are your assumptions? What are the conditions that need to be in place for that change to happen? How will the change in something address the problems that you have identified?

The results chain Inputs Activities/ Process Outputs Outcome Impact 3 Physical & financial resources Processes which turn Inputs into Outputs Operational changes (new skills or abilities, the availability of new products and services). Behavioural or institutional/ changes in response to the outputs Progress towards thematic priorities Results External perspective (E) Internal perspective (M) Management control diminishes External factors become more important

Programme Logical Hierarchy

Theory of Change (more intermediate steps in the chain)

Make explicit the assumptions and context in the theory What is the real world context Sequential process of change reaches impact The project works within a wider context What are the assumptions about how the change happens, consider dependencies Are the directions of change uni- directional What evidence do you have to support your assumed theory

Example – the Darwin ToC

Group Exercise Review Inputs and Impacts – what goes on in the ‘missing middle’? Are there other necessary steps – what causes what to move from intervention to outcome? Are there other necessary steps – what causes what to move from outcome to impact? Think about the ARROWS what are the critical assumptions that need to be considered - What are the areas of risk and uncertainty?
