Description:

Funders, consultants, and other stakeholders often ask about an organization’s theory of change, but there is much confusion over what this tool is and what it’s supposed to accomplish. This presentation introduces a framework for understanding both what a theory of change is and how we often misinterpret it. Attendees will leave the presentation with knowledge of how to design a complete theory of change and how to make sense of the confusion surrounding this concept.
