Suzanne Nobrega; Kasper Edwards; Mazen El Ghaziri; Lauren Giacobbe; Serena Rice; Laura Punnett – American Journal of Evaluation, 2024

Arensman, Bodille; van Waegeningh, Cornelie; van Wessel, Margit – American Journal of Evaluation, 2018
Theory of change (ToC) is currently "the" approach for the evaluation and planning of international development programs. This approach is considered especially suitable for complex interventions. We question this assumption and argue that ToC's focus on cause-effect logic and intended outcomes does not do justice to the recursive nature…

When simultaneously applying these interrelated guidelines, it is…
