This case shows an example how UNIFEM seeks to contribute to building clarity on its Theory of Change of GRB (Gender Responsive Budgeting) work. It identifies the implications for its Theory of Change in relation to programme design, implementation and results monitoring.
The ToC outlines the logic behind the GRB work as an approach for addressing gaps in implementation of gender equality commitments on the part of national governments.

This case provides an illustration of a ToC for gender equality commitments.

UNIFEM: ToC and Gender Responsive Budgeting

<div class="node-content content">
A seminal book on Theory of Change. This book manages to provide a comprehensive introduction to program theory and its relation with Theory of Change and Theory of Action.
It explains the history of Program Theory, relating to your specific circumstances, developing and representing program theory (combining the process with Theory of Change, Theory of Action, representing your Theory of Change and Theory of Action and critiquing your theory), necessary resources for Theory of Change and logic models, and, finally, using Program Theory (including Theory of Change) for Monitoring &amp; Evaluation and causal inference.
The book has a wealth of clear examples from various sectors and different contexts and is very helpful in clarifying some recurrent debates on planning and M&amp;E terminologies.
