How can you facilitate a theory of change process with staff and partners?
A theory of change (ToC) is a powerful tool for non-profit organizations to articulate and evaluate their impact. It describes how and why a desired change is expected to happen, based on a set of assumptions, inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impacts. However, developing a ToC is not a one-off exercise, but a participatory and iterative process that involves staff and partners at different levels and stages. How can you facilitate a ToC process with your team and collaborators? Here are some tips and steps to guide you.
