The unique challenges and operating environment of international aid and development programs often requires innovative use of existing monitoring and evaluation tools. This course demonstrates how theories of change can help teams consider how outcomes can best be achieved, articulate a clear narrative for the choice of interventions, to help monitor, evaluate and report on progress in the context of partnership arrangements and complex changing environments. This workshop introduces the concept of program theory and theories of change and lays out a step by step process for creating a theory of change in the development sector.
