Why Strategy?
Contrary to Marxs famous critique that
philosophers have only sought to
interpret the world not to change it
advocates have too often sought to
change the world without first
interpreting it.

THEORY OF CHANGE
A theory of change clearly expresses the relationships between actions
and hoped for results, and could be described as a roadmap of the
strategies and belief systems that make positive change in the lives of
individuals and the community.

Logic Model
Theory of Change models build from basic Logic Models.
Logic Models form the basis of most project management
programmes.
Logic models illustrate program components, and creatingone helps stakeholders clearly identify outcomes, inputs and
activities.
They are helpful for breaking down the basic components of
a plan and are especially useful where there is a knowrelationship with an action and its consequence.
They often follow a format similar to this;

Theory of Change
Theories of Change link outcomes and activities to explainHOWand WHYa strategy leads to those changes.
It is therefore more complex and rich than logic models andmore suited to advocacy campaigns.
Advocacy campaigns are complex as they have to selectfrom a number of different potential strategies and makeassumptions about why something changes.
There are many different ways change can be attemptedand a Theory of Change provides a process for testing out
assumptions and deciding on what will be bring about thedesired change.
Advocacy is trying to align research evidence, with theappropriate campaign and advocacy interventions toachieve the influence to secure the change they need.

What are the Theory of
Change Steps?
1. Defining the Problem
2. Stating a clear aim-the final impact you need your advocacy tohave;
3. Mapping activities to achieve your campaign aim-usually in
reverse order the impact first;4. Mapping Outcomes and how to get thereusing so that
chains to ensure the links between activities and outcomes are
understood and in place;
5. Understanding how social change happens and aligning that
with your selected activities-stating your presumptions andrefining your overall strategy choice's;
6. Ensuring that Capacity of the organisation to achieve change;
7. Agree outcome Measures and Assumptions.

Strategies-the overall grouping of types of activities that you judge willlead to the change you are seeking
Outcomes-significant changes that lead to the final impact and aprecondition of them

Activities-the work you do to achieve those outputs
Inputsthe resources you deploy to be able to undertake the activities
to achieve the outputs Assumptions-what are you assuming in your analysis about the world
around you that could affect your strategy?

1. DEFINING THE PROBLEM
-

Defining the Problem
You need to define the issue or problem that are going todevelop the strategy for.
This will involve analysis and identification of the keydrivers of the problem you are trying to address.
From this you should derive a clear problem statementwhich you are going resolve through your strategy
For example;
Gender-based violence against women and girls (VAWG),and the threat of such violence, exercised through individuals,communities and institutions in both formal and informal ways,
violates women and girls human rights, constrains theirchoices and negatively impacts on their ability to participate in,contribute to and benefit from development

Identifying
Problem/Issue
1. Agree the main problem your campaign will
address
2. Analyse that problem by using a Problem
Tree
3. Develop it into a Solution Tree
4. This will essentially be the start of your theory
of change

2. DECIDING ON YOUR IMPACTSTATEMENT OR FINAL GOAL
-

Deciding on Impact
It must be the final changes in the lives
or conditions of those you are seeking to
make change for or with.
Now write an Impact Statement for the
campaign.
-

Outcomes
What outcomes would have to have taken
place for the Impact to have been achieved?
These could be change to policy, practice,
behaviour or capacity of individuals ororganisations that can influence the final state
of affairs you are aiming to bring about
You need to have a clear idea of the changesyou need to bring about and assess the
capacity of the organisation to do this

WORKING ON
OUTCOMES
Agree what outcomes need to take place
to achieve your Impact
Articulate the assumptions your aremaking and the barriers you might face
to achieve those objectives using force
field analysis

Building in Evaluation
Each stage from Impact to activities
should have clearly defined and
measurable outcomes and targets
By doing this you will be clear about
what you are trying to achieve but also
building your evaluation framework
against which to judge your success

Testing your Theory
of Change Is this theory of change PLAUSIBLE? Have we
created a compelling story about the pathway ofchange that would lead to the long-term goal ?
Is this theory of change FEASIBLE? Do we have
the capacities and resources to implement thestrategies that would be required to produce theoutcomes?
Is this theory MEASURABLE? Have we specifiedhow success will be measured clearly enough
that we can recognize progress? Are thereindicators for each outcome in a way that aresearcher or evaluator can use?
