TRAINING WORKSHOP ON DEVELOPING THEORY OF CHANGE USING ONLINE SOFTWARE AND MANUAL APPROACH FROM 2ND TO 3RD NOVEMBER, 2016 IN KAMPALA
INTRODUCTION: The Training is designed for people working in the development sector or Government who want to get to grips with Theory of Change. Theory of change is the new approach in development work and M&E. But, what is it all about. Currently the international development community (practitioners and donors alike) shows great interest in using a theory of change (TOC) as the development hypothesis for projects. Compared to other processes, a TOC requires more in-depth, causal analysis of issues, supported by a rigorous and evolving evidence base. Developing and using a TOC is an effective means of building common understanding around the processes needed to achieve desired changes. Additionally, a TOC allows for efficient monitoring, learning, and evaluation based on a clear and testable set of hypotheses. Theory of Change is a tool that describes a process of planned change, from the assumptions that guide its design, the planned outputs and outcomes to the long-term impacts it seeks to achieve.
