Our Theory of Change

A Theory of Change describes the strategies, actions, conditions and resources that facilitate change and achieve outcomes. It explains how particular activities or actions will lead to particular outcomes. In a simple sense, it is an “if: then” explanation of what we do and how it works.

Our Theory of Change builds on the vision, mission, purpose and goals of the WWP, and helps to identify what action we will take to contribute to these. It helps to clarify what value we will add, how we will work as well as framing our stakeholders’ expectation of our impact.

Our Theory of Change also provides the framework for how we measure our progress and value. Our measurement framework is set out in the implementation section of this plan.
