The Theory of Change (ToC) is a methodology for planning and evaluating social change initiatives. It identifies a long-term goal and maps out the preconditions and outcomes required to achieve it, arranged from short-term to long-term. The ToC includes key elements such as an outcomes framework, causal pathways, specific indicators, interventions, supporting evidence, stakeholders, timeline, and broader context. These components are often represented visually to understand the relationships and steps to achieve the desired social change.
