How can a Theory of Change accelerate progress?

A Theory of Change can accelerate change. It can enable an organisation to concentrate on what is most important. In our Thought Leadership Paper, we provide tips to develop a Theory of Change. You can read the paper here.

We’re facilitating a strategic change and team development process with, United Purpose Malawi. Their Theory of Change puts gender equality at the heart of everything they do (see diagram below).
