Welcome to the Newly Revised and Updated Theory of Change website!

This website is devoted to the application, methodology, use and practice of Theory of Change methodology.  For 2009, it has been revamped to include more information on how to best use TOC,  and lessons from the many areas in which TOC has been applied, and the role of TOC in organizational functioning and capacity.

At this site you'll find, among many other things:

• when in your work can TOC help you and how (planning, re-grouping, evaluation, Board meetings?

• how is it best applied.  Should the scope of your engagement be a day, a month, or a year?

• how can TOC be the basis for an major organizational shift towards focusing on outcomes and accountability, while remaining participatory and transparent?

• how has TOC been used recently in key topic areas such as social justice, women;s movements, international justice, youth development, structural racism and more

Update on Theory of Change Online

Our online method for creating, storing and sharing your theories has been completed... at long last. We are currently developing a login system and accepting applications to participate in our first User Group Trial. We will post more infor mation about that on here and on our main website, www.actknowledge.org, as soon as possible.

Thanks to all of you for your patience as this has been in development. And thanks to the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation for providing the initial funding in 2004-2005 that got this project off the ground. It's come a long way since then. We'll keep you posted on opportunities to try TOCO, receive presentations, join User Groups and provide fe edback.
