MHIN ToC guidelines_May_2015

Broadly, ToC can support the development of interventions, bringing together key stakeholders within the planning phase to scrutinise and address proposed approaches to achieving impact. It can also provide a rich process and impact framework to guide implementation and evaluation, addressing barriers to implementation, and incorporating the rationale behind approaches taken and con textual influences.
This paper provides a practical overview on constructing a Theory of Change (ToC) map focusing on developing the ToC through a stakeholder workshop perspective: planning and logistics.  It also examines what makes a good Theory of Change and what challenges when creating one. It finally looks at the key advantages of using Theory of Change and the theory of Change as a framework for process and outcome evaluations.

This guide provides a practical overview of the process of developing a Theory of Change, focusing on using a stakeholder driven-workshop approach to achieve this. A ToC can support the development of interventions, bringing together key stakeholders
