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
The goals of Theory of Change process are to find solutions to a problem and develop a clear path or guidelines on how to achieve the organizational goals and objectives.
Theory of Change is a tool enabling to visualize the connection between the current problematic situation and the changed improved future situation. Specifically, Theory of Change enables the efficient and effective planning of the "changing" process through a clear explication of the underlying assumptions that lie behind the reasoning. The entire process enables the emergence of all the necessary and sufficient preconditions needed to achieve the identified outcome(s).
The Theory of Change defines the long-term goal of any actions to be taken with the aim of producing a change in a specific field of application and in a long-term. It provides a map of all the preconditions, that need to be in place for the long-term change to occur.
the goals of the Theory of Change process are the things the M&E team intends to achieve while developing a theory of change
The goals of the Theory of Change are: to enable stakeholders to ponder additional questions and question underlying logic while developing a strategic plan; to force stakeholders to be explicit about how resources will be leveraged to achieve preconditions (intermediary goals) required on the journey to the long-term result; to build consensus and aligned understanding on how success will be documented; and to ensure refinement/critical analysis of areas of the strategy that may be vague.
I do not belong to any organisation at the moment but I will refer to my previous job.
One thing that my organisation didn't create a learning agenda, we never really took the time to sit and refresh our theory of change instead we just focused mainly on the logframe and updated it.
The goals of the Theory of Change are: helping organizations focus on their programs, produce better outcomes, measure outcomes and communicate their strategies.
A Theory of change is a process that communities can take to think critically about their long term goals for social change. The process includes identifying clear long term goals, outcomes and preconditions ( and assumptions of what is needed) to make their goals a reality.
The goal of TOC is to communicate clearly how program activities will lead to impact
The theory of change is a tool that helps to track the change from the project idea up to the measuring of impact
Theory of change is a tool that describes how organizations' activities or interventions lead to long term outcomes or impacts.
Theory of change is a tool that describes how organizations' activities or interventions lead to long term outcomes or impacts.
I worry that my organization might specify targeted population because final users are confusing groups. To avoid this, I will take the distribution channel into account.
and clarify the assumptions made by
To help the organization know the amount of work that needs to be done to achieve the desired outcome versus the amount of work that can be done with available resources.
Theory of change is a strategic to way to ensure sustainablity and viability of a program. Thanks to it you able to make sure that the stragy used is responding to critical questions.
Theory of change is the process of determining the impact your organization wishes to have and the activities that the organization must do and outcomes of those activities that will eventually have the desired impact
Theory of change is a tool which provides a methodology to think through, write and represent the project's pathway from activityes, to preconditions, to long term outcomes. The main goals are to focus on the main outcome, clarify and communicate the strategy, produce better results, and measure them.
This is a very clear response, thanks!
A theory of change can be a helpful tool for developing solutions to complex social problems.
The goal of theory of change process are pathways of shot term and log term outcomes through our activities.
communicate the strategy towards the realization of a project goal.
Its a tool used to measure outcomes.
The main goal of Theory of Change is to map out how desired the change will happen, this includes pathways of change, outcomes assumptions and interventions as well as how success can be measured.

The goal of the theory of change process is to thoroughly assess actions in the planning, implementation and evaluation to maximize positive impact or outcome. It aims to see the reasoning of how and why a desired change will bring impact.
well said
The goal of ToC process is to make guideline to clear step in design a change movement. The guideline to make objective and systematic design. They have cross check in every step. That detail thing helps user to create effective activity that orientation to goal achieve. This’s design make sure each element; outcome, precondition, and intervention, has right connection, who support each other.
The goals of theory of change are to identify what is needed for the change, reflect assumptions and risks, and identify partners and actors.
Well stated.
The theory of change is a very useful tool that helps guide how, who and what is required to bring about
a desired change in a more effective and efficient way.
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.
The theory of change can be considered as the masterpiece of every organization to attend the goal by establishing a good linking of the activities to the outcomes
A theory of change (ToC) process aims to help teams understand how their interventions lead to the needed preconditions for them to actualize their goal. Through this process teams are able to articulate the assumptions that ground their model and different linkages within the pathway of change. ToCs also ensure that all team members align to the group think to ensure everyone is working towards the same goal. Ultimately, a good ToC will enable teams to implement, efficiently utilize resources and measure program success.
I agree with you submission.
