Review Report for the UK Department for International Development: London. swhitehead10 https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/621386516 IGSD review
This report is the result of a survey with development organisations and was commissioned by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). Lightly drawing on background literature, it presents its core elements, critical issues and provides practical suggestions (e.g. how to start, tips for the visual presentation and the stages leading up to it). Since it is based on ToC user interviews it also provides a detailed discussion on how it can be used differently. The latter might be of particular relevance since it enables a critical reflection on how the context of the proposed research project matches the different approaches in general. It might also stimulate thoughts about the extent to which the proposed research project could “learn” something from differently inspired approaches and how the ToC might help with complexity, open-endedness, and the need for adaptive and co-produced monitoring at the different project stages. From a pragmatic point of view, considering that DFID funded calls increasingly ask for Pathways to Change, we consider that reading this report is a well-spent couple of hours. It will also be useful for research teams who might consider adopting the ToC as tool for collaboratively conceiving the project proposal and use the resulting insights for informing other elements, such as the logframe. Lastly, the fact that this is a review report, itself reflectively analysing the views of interviewees from various development organisations and research institutions, increases its value.

(2014) Theories of Change in International Development: Communication, Learning, or Accountability? The Justice and Security Research Programme Paper 17. LSE: London. swhitehead10 https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/621395763 IGSD review
Discussing the ToC from the point of view of The Asia Foundation and presenting a review of existing debates and critiques of the ToC, Valters (2013) critically analyses the three tasks (communication, learning, and accountability) for which that Foundation has adopted the ToC, the impacts these three tasks have on the organisation and its staff, and the communities it works with, and the tension between these three tasks (e.g. ToC as accountability tool vs. learning). For those who are interested in delving deeper into conceptual considerations, Valters also discusses the impact results and evidence development discourses on the ToC users’ ability to benefit from the ToC’s critical approach to deal with complexity. This argument points to the importance of a critical reflection of what is being used to count as evidence of change. The six key findings at the end of the paper reflect on these insights. Again, as indicated further above, if included, such considerations may increase the robustness of a proposal.]]> 2020-06-10 20:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/621395763 Live Questions and Answers Centre4Facil https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/624132119 These were the questions that were addressed during the session]]> 2020-06-12 14:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/624132119 Theory of Change Example #1 https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/627615833 Here are two examples of how IGSD have used Theory of Change in project proposals]]> 2020-06-15 16:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/627615833 Theory of Change Example #2 https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/627617594 2020-06-15 16:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/627617594 Workshop One Review Centre4Facil https://padlet.com/Centre4Facil/IGSDPinboard1/wish/631977753 Your thoughts on using Theory of Change
