24.01.2022 It gets tricky to take professional event photos on an online interactive webinar, agree? Last week we've enjoyed discussing about key elements for an effective Theory of Change. This coming Wednesday 24th we will be facilitating SMART IMPACT - WEBINAR 2: 'Differentiate outputs from outcomes and build indicators of change'.... https://events.humanitix.com/smart-impact-webinar2-differen . . . *FAQ* Must I have taken the first webinar of this series to participate in the second one? Ideally, but not a must. Should you already have a clear understanding of the key concepts of a Theory of Change, we encourage you to join us this week.

21.01.2022 What is a Theory of Change? A Theory of Change (ToC) is like a plan on a page; the essence of the service/program in a diagram. It shows an organisation’s pathway from stakeholders to resources, activities, outputs and ultimately to outcomes - structured in a way that enables decision-makers to understand the interrelated nature of each element. Why is it important? It describes the change an organisation, program or service wants to make and the interactions involved in... making that change happen. This is crucial to support strategic decision making about resource allocation to achieve the best results. A comprehensive ToC can also be used as a basis for evaluation and communication. How can a Theory of Change support me? When a Theory of Change is well designed, it is useful to reveal, among other things: the important goals of a service, program or organisation, whether the activities make sense, in light of the goals, whether the service performs activities that are not needed to achieve the goals, where there is opportunity to streamline activities, where stakeholders could be involved, and how to improve the measurement of outcomes.
