Theory of Change

Course modules

The course is structured around four chapters and 12 lessons taking you from the foundations to advanced methods of building a Theory of Change framework for Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) activities within an organisation.

The chapter will establish the need for impact management tools and present key milestones in Theory of Change (ToC) development from an organisational perspective. It provides hands-on insights that enable you to start designing and implementing a robust ToC.

The chapter will equip you to connect one’s mission with desired outcomes and visualize intended pathways of change. You will learn how to formulate results and objectives and apply key techniques to develop your own Theory of Change.

This chapter will guide you in defining relevant impact indicators. Through examples and templates, you will be able to use Theory of Change (ToC) frameworks to outline indicator grids, determine data collection processes, and initiate the development of your own Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning framework.

This chapter will offer practical guidance on engaging teams, consulting with stakeholders and allocating time and budgets for the effective and continued use of your impact management tools. Concrete advice and best practices for visualisation of the ToC  and reporting of impact results aligned to the outcomes outlined in the ToC will be provided.
