A theory of change is a pathway of change that illustrates the relationship between what we want to achieve long term outcomes in a project and what we must do step by step which constructed with intervention, precondition, outcome, indicator, and assumptions.
The goal of theory of change is clarify the link between project intervention and the impact of the project
Theory of change is to define a pathway from a certain situation to a long term outcome. This pathway is going via preconditions which are the results of interventions. Preconditions have to have indicators.
It is important that the map of the theory of change is developed by all stakeholders to make sure that everybody can have an input and that the final map is understood by all.
Theory of Change (ToC) is a methodology for planning, participation, and evaluation that is used in companies, philanthropy, not-for-profit and government sectors to promote social change. Theory of Change defines long-term goals and then maps backward to identify necessary preconditions.
the goals of the Theory of Change process are: i) to ensure that each key priority area of the issue are addressed appropriately ii) it ensures that all steps are covered and well articulated to all that will be involved in implementation iii) to ensure effective and successful implementation that would yield profound lasting change in target audiences or target issue.
creating a theory of change raises new
questions for stakeholders to consider
Creating theory of change have the same characteristics of Logframe but used in different ways
The goal of Theory of Change process is to ensure that organisations come up with clear practical interventions that will ensure that their long term goal/s are attained.
A theory of change process can, therefore, assist organisations in crafting clear change pathways, design practical and realistic interventions, and attainable goals.
I think your answer captures the essense of ToC quite nicely. Simple and straight to the point.
help you describe a project’s pathway
from the need you are trying to address to the changes you want to
make (your outcomes) and what you plan to do (your activities).
The theory of change process should evaluate the connections between the change an organization is trying to achieve, how this can be done, the outcomes of these activities and why and how all of these will lead to said change. In order to attain this goal, the process should lead to a shared understanding of the objectives and how to measure their success among the people developing the theory.
I think that's a great summary Lina. For me the key is in 'avoiding implementing a mistake'. The process of creating a theory of change forces organisations to reflect on what they intend to do in order to ensure their efforts are effective and therefore their work is efficient.
Theory of change is a tool that helps you describe the need you are trying to address with the change you want to achieve or seek to achieve and the activities you would deliver.
Change theory is the results, strategies, and activities we want to change.
With the practical support of the organization, people with disabilities can live well and lead a healthy lifestyle. Many are actively involved in an inclusive lifestyle. In our organization: our imagination, results, actions and activities ensure our sustainability.
The Theory of Change outlines all the components to achieve a longer term ambition. It consists of impacts, outcomes, outputs, indicators and resources (and assumptions)
Get the better outcomes and indicators for a project o social complex problem
A theory of Change is a pathway of change that illustrates the relationship between a variety of outcomes that are each thought of as preconditions of the long-term goal.
The goals of the Theory of Change process are 1) to inform the stakeholders, while still at the inception stage, of the total complexity of the change process leading to the final desired goal through a diagram with brief descriptions and connections of activities, intermediate goals and progress measurement indicators, and 2) to serve as a base reference map in tracking and documenting progress of change process.
The Theory of Change process goal is to pursue a desired and successful change, by defining what is required to achieve it, and understanding the relationship between those actions and the outcomes; which also lead to another goal of this process, avoid the implementation of mistakes.
I like this definition of the goals, and I agree with it
The TOC can be described as a set of causal pathways that lead to a desired outcome or state.
The theory of change process goals are:
Enabling Planners and practitionners finding solutions of complex social by achieving their longterm goals through developping the pathways of change.
I think you would better say that it is a tool helping to adress problems not needs.
The goals of theory of change process are those steps that guide you to be able to know if you are making progress and have an effective implementation. These processes if followed will help to achieve a set goal with less confusion and more confidence
Specific and clear definition of theory of change
theory of change is the back bone for any organization, most of the organizations are not clear with their missions and outcomes
To build a clear insight about the purpose of the organization to anyone that comes in contact and reach the desired goal in clear steps.
A desired social change
1.creating a theory of change raises new
questions for stakeholders to consider while
developing a strategic plan or evaluation.
2.It also helps a group build consensus on how success will be
documented.
Theory of change helps an organisation to focus on its programmes amicably and be able to communicate its strategy well. The theory of change helps the organisation know how they can achieve their outcomes and how the outcomes can be measured.
The goals of Theory of Change process are to identify the identify the desired long-term goals and then works back from these to identify all the conditions (outcomes) that must be in place (and how these related to one another causally) for the goals to occur.In addition, a Theory of Change process assesses the assumptions and contextual factors which would positively or negatively influence the chain of results.
What result will we achieved
the theory of change is simply a pattern highlighting the processed of implementing activities that will lead to the overall outcome of the project.
The theory of change aims to define the circuit going from the definition of needs to the activity to be carried out to meet its needs in order to arrive at the preconditions that will lead to the desired impact.
The goals of a theory of change is to be clear about what outcome we are targeting and what series of intermediate outcomes we have to achieve to reach the target outcome. On the basis of these, the theory of change specifies the interventions and resources needed to achieve the intermediate and the target outcomes, specifying why we think the interventions and the resources will help us achieve the outcomes is also a part of the the goals.
This is one of the clearest descriptions of the goals of a theory of change. It identifies most the components that a theory of change needs to incorporate: long-term goal, intermediate outcomes, interventions and assumptions (indicators missing). These components are mentioned in a way to justify a theory of change.
The theory of change process allows an organization to define its long-term impact and the interventions and intermediate outcomes required to achieve this.
The theory of change process allows an organization to define its long-term impact and the interventions and intermediate outcomes required to achieve this.
Goals of ToC is to help stakeholders think through their programme goals, interventions and indicators and assumptions together. The end product is a clear Pathway of Change that can help guide programme design.
Hello, my name's Kouadio KONAN mickael
I lives in ivory caost
hello, happy to start this new module with you
A theory of change is a tool to help you describe a project’s pathway from the need you are
trying to address, to the changes you want to make (your outcomes) and what you plan to do
Please, can someone explain to me how this module works? In terms of progress, I realize that my points do not change.
how is the evaluation carried out?
The goal of "Theory of Change" is to define clearly a definite structure of a certain pathway to achieve a suitable outcome. The pathways may be simple sustainable or complex beautiful to reach its ultimate destination.
The goals are to test the logic of change, by seeing how interventions lead to preconditions, deal with assumptions and achieve impact.
A theory of change is a description of why a particular way of working will be effective, showing how change happens in the short, medium and long term to achieve the intended impact.
Thats great
good idea
The goal of the Theory of Change process is to guide a team of individuals through the steps necessary to create change that is attainable and measurable.
driven long term outcome in effective change
TOC is a tool to help you describe a projects pathway from need to address change to the outcomes
I think this is clear definition of TOC
The TOC process is to explain the causal relationships between the organizations activities and why it will reach the intended outcomes.
The goal of the Theory of Change process is to clarify focus by articulating the impact(s) that an organisation is aiming to achieve, create a robust plan of work to achieve those impact(s) and enable accountability through clearly defined success metrics.
I like that your definition focusses upon leading individuals through the process, rather than just the process itself.
Theory of change is the process that interrelate organizations ultimate goal and the means to achieve that.
EVERY CAN CHANGE THE WORD
A theory of change helps to explain how a group of stakeholders hope to realize a commonly understood long term goal.
The goals for the Theory of Change process are to keep everyone in the organization get involved in the impact of the organisation to society.
The ultimate goals of theory of change is to achieve a long term outcome through implementing the interventions and attain change.
the goals of Theory of Change are to make the connection between impacts and actions, hence helping the design of a project thanks to the selection of the most relevant actions to achieve realistic impact.
clear definition
The goal of the theory of change is to provide a pathway through which an organization can plan and reach a commonly understood long-term goal.
A theory of change is also meant to clearly demonstrate the underlying assumptions and sequence of steps needed to achieve the desired outcomes that lead up to the long term goal
the question asked.was on the goal of theory of change and not the definition. Your answers to the question show that you clearly understood this. well articulated and I give you a thumb up.
Theory of Change process are the methods of arranging an organization activities to achieve expected results.
Theory of Change is an illustration that shows how paths of change towards the attainment of the project or organization long term goal.
It consist of pre conditions and pathways showing the lowest level of outputs and outcomes towards the long term goal
the goals of the theory of change process are linking the reason of the organization activities with the expectation outcomes. The outcomes could be long-term, and intermediate. Also including some intervention as the activity, and brings the group or/of the organization assumption toward the change.
The goal is for everyone involved to have a mutual understanding of what the wanted longtime outcome is and how to get there.
Theory of change is to help the people in the organization understand and know what to do to achieve the ultimate goal and how and when to do them. It also expands the understanding of people in the organization in areas regarding the ultimate goal and gives a clear picture of how to go about it.
The goal of a TOC is help users see the end result of their processes and steps on how their overall goal can be achieved.
The goal of a TOC is help users see the end result of their processes and steps on how their overall goal can be achieved.
The goals of a Theory of Change are to clearly define a path from the activities of an organization to the impact it hopes to achieve.
Introduction. Theory of change is a rigorous yet participatory process whereby groups and stakeholders in a planning process articulate their long-term goals and identify the conditions they believe have to unfold for those goals to be met.
A theory of change is a description of why a particular way of working will be effective, showing how change happens in the short, medium and long term to achieve the intended impact. It can be represented in a visual diagram, as a narrative or both.
The theory of change is a process in place to define how you get from A to Z, and beyond, to build a route on how you can be the most successful to get to your endgame of a your envisioned outcome. It's a plan to be able to grow and change through steps that ensure a bigger thinking of how you want to proceed in making your business the most part it can be.

When a theory of change is built around the wrongs assumptions--even the most elaborate pathway of change can fall apart...
I mean, this sentence is super resonating to really any subject you cover in life. It shows that having a strong vision of what you want can really affect the outcome of anything in any way.
The theory of change goals are to help individuals focus on desired outcome of a purpose while preparing ways to measure success and by redirecting attention to the intended goal. To avoid set backs from generalized ideas, theory of change offers solutions to connect with specific result through establishing pathways that are clear to everyone involved.
Well stated. Great to see the word accountability included. It's quite often overlooked, and responsibilities are passed onto the next person. This truly helps a team thrive when everyone can contribute and take accountable actions for the greater good.
The goals of the theory of change process include engaging stakeholders to build a pathway that shows activities, outcomes and success factors as well as how they interact to lead to a long term goal. Along the way, the goals of consensus building, assumptions exploration, shared understanding and expectations management are achieved.
Theory of Change (ToC) is a methodology for planning, participation, and evaluation that is used in companies, philanthropy, not-for-profit, research, and government sectors to promote social change. Theory of Change defines long-term goals and then maps backward to identify necessary preconditions.
The theory of change defines long-term goals and maps backwards to identify the necessary assumptions.
To objectively assess the actual long-term outcome/goal of a strategic plan, and realistically assess the required resources and time frames needed to achieve these and what success would translate into.
Goal for theory of change is true picture of the change you have caused or impact of the desired activities
theory of change helps to outline a clear pathway to be followed from the pre-intervention stage to the outcome stage. it helps identify the activities needed to achieve the changes.
Theory of Change goals are to define why you think activities will lead to particular outcomes in order to determine the best interventions to invest in, to achieve the greatest impact.
The process encourages the development of a shared understanding of what you want to accomplish, how you plan to demonstrate and achieve the necessary steps to reach the Long Term Goal (by identifying the who, what and how will help or hinder). TOC process requires brave & honest conversations to test ideals and assumptions against the realities facing the target group so that the Pathway of Change reflects the community/context they are navigating.
i think all of the senteces is important.
Hello, I am TS. I enjoy the field of community development and am currently working with an organization undergoing change. I have been asked to participate in the process and remembered the Theory of Change from my school days. I am excited to learn more about it and put these lessons into action as my organization moves forward.
The goals of the Theory of Change are to utilize a mindful structure of preconditions, indicators, and interventions to think through and map the pathway to a long term goal.
I appreciate your description. It explains the process very well.
The goal is to clearly define how much effort or work is required to reach to achieve the long term goal and what actually can be done keeping in view the available resources and time
The goals of the theory of change process: assist stakeholders to align on the desired nature and quantum of change,; assess the type of resources required to deliver the required change (intermediate and long-term); as well as identify factors within and outside of their control, which could impact or delay the path of change.
the goal of a TOC is to think the result chain of any intervention by takling the root problem and outlining risks and assumptions/
ToC gives an overview of the project design, interventions and results. So it builds the foundation for project stakeholders to plan and manage the project.
In my understanding, I think the goal of the Theory of Change process is to identify and plot the pathway of change or the results the organization want to achieve in the short-run (intermediate or outcomes) and in the long-run (impact or goal)
It is a clearer representation of the organization's results and how it flows from its intervention to results.
This is just apt
The only way we can move forwards is with open and honest discussion. We should not judge but be open minded to listen to the otherside, wear their shoes as we mull through their suggestions bearing in mind it is all for the good of the organisation.
it is for changing outcomes of an Intervention to a sustainable situation for target community
To help develop solutions to complex social problems
