✤A Cognitive reversal: Rather than projecting outcomes (goals) from your activities, ToC reverses that process by focusing FIRST on what OUTCOME you are seeking (your goal)
✤You then consider all supporting outcomes (or preconditions) necessary and sufficient to reach this goal.
✤Project Interventions / Activities emerge from this analysis of outcomes framework.
✤Theory of Change Map or outcomes framework also identifies the form and composition of necessary partnerships
How Theory of Change works?

Behind every Outcome…
![Page 16: Inter-linkages and Policy Coherence Ahmad Zabi Rahat, MAsustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/unosd/documents... · 2019-02-13 · ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland Thank you](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050202/5f56016c451e2c22af6696a8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Key elements behind Theory of Change approach:
✤ Fleshing out the “missing middle”: between an intervention and your outcome (goal).
✤ Context specific: Not a blueprint for all situations
✤ Constantly evolving
✤ Form follows function: Interventions and partnerships emerge organically from your analysis
✤ Testable hypothesizes that supports realistic evaluation
