Theory of Change and Strategic Planning Training

Overview

This course gives you the opportunity to better understand how social change happens and your contributions to it. It also provides you with innovative tools for strategic planning. The action-learning process you engage in enables you to develop a Theory of Change to support and improve your ability as a development practitioner.

If you attend this course and later attend our M&E for Results 10 day course (within a 24 month period) you will receive our Certificate in Applied Evaluation.

What you will learn

This is an opportunity for you to engage in a multi-cultural learning environment that allows you to collectively explore how to facilitate multi-stakeholders processes. You critically reflect on the latest thinking around Theory of Change, and learn to use a Theory of Change approach to Strategic Planning. Where possible, it is useful to have two people attend from the same organisation. No prior knowledge in ToC is needed.

Through a mix of interactive facilitation, experiential activity and innovative teaching-learning methodologies you will:
 

• critically reflect on your assumptions and their effect on influencing change
• explore how group dynamics affect the planning process
• work on your project through a Theory of Change lens
• understand how Theory of Change underpins Strategic Planning
• apply participatory methodologies to foster ownership and representation through the planning process
