2024年3月20日 · The Theory of Change (ToC) is a structured approach used in program planning and evaluation. It seeks to explain what impact is created by a programme or system, and how that impact was generated. ToC articulates how the change will happen, and as a result, influences the plan for investing the time and resources to contribute to that change.

First, it provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review of the existing methods for incorporating evidence into ToC development in the health sector. Second, it offers a new typology guiding any future endeavors of incorporating evidence into ToCs. What is …

The ToC review helps to better capture a project’s underlying assumptions and identify the rationale behind the success or failure of specific interventions. Organizations can use these reviews for learning purposes and to enhance feedback loops among project personnel.

2022年7月14日 · Theory of Change (ToC) explains how a set of activities will solve a problem. It does this by clearly describing the problem and the change you (and the program) intend to create. Most importantly, ToC depicts change that is not linear. Processes of change actually have multiple feedback loops that need to be understood and described.

This systematic review aims to present an overview of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) implementations in healthcare services and their outcomes. We analysed 42 TOC implementations (15 full-text articles, 12 video proceedings, and 2 theses/disserations) from major scientific electronic databases and TOC International Certification Organization ...

Dhillon and Vaca (2018) provide a good recent review of ToC, noting that its key distinctive elements from other approaches are to identify specific causal links among outputs and outcomes, describe the causal pathways by which interventions are expected to have effect, and be explicit about assumptions

‘Theory of change’ is an outcomes-based approach which applies critical thinking to the design, implementation and evaluation of initiatives and programmes intended to support change in their contexts.

2016年5月6日 · Background: Despite the increasing popularity of the theory of change (ToC) approach, little is known about the extent to which ToC has been used in the design and evaluation of public health interventions. This review aims to determine how ToCs have been developed and used in the development and evaluation of public health interventions globally.

2011年8月26日 · Quality review should answer three basic questions: Is your theory 1) plausible, 2) “doable” (or feasible), and 3) testable? Writing a narrative to explain the summary logic of your initiative. 2. Long-term Outcome An outcome is a state or condition that does not currently exist but must be in place for your initiative to work. An outcome

It covers five domains, namely the (1) definition of ToC; (2) description of the ToC development process; (3) ToC diagram; (4) process of intervention development and (5) use of ToC in evaluation. The checklist would benefit from expert review and piloting in the real world.
