Overview

We map how change is expected to happen, test the assumptions behind it, and translate it into a logical framework your team and donors can work from.

Theory of Change

  • Causal pathway mapping
  • Assumption identification
  • Risk analysis and change narratives
  • Stakeholder workshops and validation sessions

Logical Framework (LogFrame)

  • Goals, outputs and objectives defined
  • Indicators and means of verification
  • Activity planning
  • LogFrame matrices

The outcome for you

A shared, testable account of how your programme creates change.

Who it is for

  • Programme design teams
  • Proposal and grant writers
  • Boards and donors reviewing strategy
