Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Good example of a Theory of Change for an aid agency's Gender policy.

Hi all

I have been asked to find an example of "good" Theory of Change that describes how a bilateral aid agency's gender policy is expected to work and have its effects

Good in this context means it is a good description of the agency's gender policy and is reasonably evaluable

If you can suggest any examples that are worth looking at I would be very grateful

Hi Rick,

Response on email from our member Alifya Loharchalwala

Sharing the link to EMpower's TOC: http://www.empowerweb.org/what-we-do/theory-of-change

Thanks Aliya

Such an important question and I too would benefit from responses and resources to this question. Many thanks for raising it Rick.

Great question, and I am also looking forward to these examples!

I am not sure these are 'good', but here are two examples:

WOCAN: https://www.wocan.org/our-theory-of-change/ (like the simplicity)

WEMAN: https://www.oxfamnovib.nl/Redactie/Pdf/Theory%20of%20Change%20WEMAN... (very, very extensive. Wondering if anyone ever reads this...)

Womankind: https://www.womankind.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Womankind-T...

(is it a theory of change? not really. but, whatever works)

Best, Dennis

Thanks Dennis

Thanks Dennis!!

Thanks for the responses so far. 

Partly related to this question, I recently wrote a blog about what I thought was a good example of a ToC, but not relating to gender policy. You can see my argument and example here: https://mandenews.blogspot.com/2021/08/reconciling-need-for-both-ho...

I will check this out and share with others:-) 

Thank you! I started following your blog and also feature it in today's newsletter;

Deborah McSmith, MPH- Gavi has a good gender policy theory of change

Dear Rituu, how are you? Can I kindly ask you to share the gender policy ToC?

Hi Rituu, I tried googling for the Gavi ToC but couldn't find it. Can you please send it if you have it?
