This Guidance Note describes the Theory of Change approach and explains why it is a good fit for climate change adaptation programming. It highlights its differences with the more familiar logic model / logical framework (‘logframe’) approaches – and also shows how they can be used together.
It goes on to guide the reader through the steps of a hypothetical ToC exercise, and then comments on how to avoid the disadvantages and pitfalls that can occur when applying this model. It concludes by highlighting a ‘real world’ example of how one agency has used ToC to enhance its work.

The complexities inherent in climate change adaptation (CCA) programming call for a nuanced approach to M&amp;E research. This is not, however, always being realised in practice. CCA poses a range of thorny challenges for evaluators.

From 2011 to 2014, Hivos hosted a series of E-dialogues on different aspects of ToC thinking. ToC practitioners from around the world gave contributions based on their experiences with ToC on various topics which resulted in final papers. This particular report focuses on gender relations in ToC practice.
