A theory of change describes the types of interventions (a single program or coordinated initiative) that bring about the outcomes depicted in the outcomes framework map. Each intervention is tied to an outcome in the causal framework, revealing the often complex web of activity required to bring about change. The framework provides a working model against which to test hypotheses and assumptions about what actions will best produce the outcomes in the model.

Materials for practice

Supplementary reading (for the preparation of the discussion with the audience). 

Please try to find some cases/examples of the theory of change application in the development/humanitarian projects. 

Consider the questions that could "provoke" the discussion on the possibility of implementing the theory-driven projects and implementing M&E.
