Why choose this course
This is an opportunity for you to engage in a multi-cultural learning environment that allows you to collectively explore how to facilitate multi-stakeholders processes. You critically reflect on the latest thinking around Theory of Change, and learn to use a Theory of Change approach to Strategic Planning. Where possible, it is useful to have two people attend from the same organisation. No prior knowledge in ToC is needed.

Innovative teaching-learning methodologies are used to explore different dynamics and through group work you understand the key concepts of Theory of Change and Strategic Planning.
