Theory of Change

Understanding Theory of Change (ToC) for Funding Applications

Funding applications increasingly require a Theory of Change (ToC) to demonstrate how a program or intervention leads to desired outcomes. A ToC is a structured framework that maps out the cause-and-effect relationships between activities, immediate changes, and short-to-long-term outcomes.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is ideal for anyone involved in developing project proposals, or managing projects that require reporting. Suitable for both beginners and experienced project staff.
