How can I help you?
DO YOU NEED GUIDANCE TO PLAN YOUR PROJECT OR PROGRAM
DO YOU WANT TO STRENGTHEN THE THEORY OF CHANGE BEHIND YOUR INTERVENTION?
DO YOU THINK YOUR PROJECT NEEDS FOLLOW-UP TO GUARANTEE ITS SUCCESS?
DO YOU WANT TO OPTIMIZE THE IMPACT OF YOUR PROJECT WHILE GUARANTEEING ITS SUSTAINABILITY?
DO YOU WANT SOCIAL IMPACT? PLAN IT!
My experience as a project manager and as an evaluator of complex interventions always leads me to reflect on the importance of planning. It is essential to have a solid theory of change from the beginning and to know the different levels of change that we want to observe with our actions to obtain the expected results in the beneficiaries of our programs. Most of my evaluations involve an analysis of the theories of change of the evaluated interventions. I have also had the opportunity to support the ILO’s Industrial Relations department and the Better Work program to design their theories of change.
BUILD A SOLID THEORY OF CHANGE BEHIND YOUR INTERVENTION
International organizations and private foundations increasingly need to plan their interventions on sound theories of change. Different planning methodologies such as the Logical Framework Approach, Theory of Change or Outcome Mapping can facilitate this process and greatly contribute to the achievement of the expected results and the success of the interventions.
The process of evaluation allows us to illustrate what happens during the period of intervention, learn from this, and allow for transparency within the whole process.
