Theory of Change

A workshop for understanding Theory of Change (ToC) for Funding Applications

About

This hand-on workshop provides a step by step, guide to developing a ToC and logic model. Participants will learn the difference between a basic ToC and more detailed models, gaining practical skills to apply in funding proposals and project reporting.

Often represented visually, ToC serves as a key tool for project design, ensuring initiatives are strategically aligned and measurable. It also forms the foundation of an effective monitoring, evaluation, reporting and improvement framework.

Funding applications increasingly require a Theory of Change (ToC) to demonstrate how a program or intervention leads to desired outcomes. A ToC is a structured framework that maps out the cause-and-effect relationships between activities, immediate changes, and short-to-long-term outcomes.

This workshop is ideal for anyone involved in developing project proposals, or managing projects that require reporting. Suitable for both beginners and experienced project staff.
