The Theory of Change is a framework used to plan, implement, and evaluate social change initiatives. It outlines the steps needed to achieve a desired outcome by identifying the necessary conditions and interventions. This approach helps organizations clarify their goals and the pathways to reach them, ensuring that all stakeholders understand the process. In a Theory of Change, assumptions about how change occurs are made explicit, allowing for better assessment of progress. It often includes a visual representation, such as a flowchart, to illustrate the connections between activities, outputs, and outcomes, making it easier to communicate the strategy to funders and community members.
