Toolkit 01 · Interactive

Theory of Change Builder

Build your Theory of Change step by step and watch the diagram draw itself. The builder checks your logic and gives you a diagram, a background page and a results framework to save as a PDF, open in Word or share.

For: Programme managers, founders, facilitators, consultants and anyone preparing a proposal or a strategy.

What it does

  • Guides you step by step, from the background and overall objective to outcomes, outputs and activities, with patterns and examples at each step.
  • Draws the diagram as you type, with a choice of layouts and a code for every item.
  • Checks your logic and tells you what is missing: an outcome nothing leads to, or an "outcome" that is really an activity.
  • Builds your results framework: indicators with baselines and targets, assumptions, and risks with mitigation measures.
  • Exports to PDF on the paper size you choose and to Word, with your own logo, and gives you a link to share with colleagues.

Toolkit 02

Monitoring, Evaluation & Impact Toolkit

From a clear Theory of Change to a live impact dashboard. Track your indicators online and see at a glance what is on track, with a step-by-step guide and editable worksheets behind it.

For: Programme managers, monitoring and evaluation officers, facilitators, consultants and founders preparing for funders.

What is inside

  • A live Impact Dashboard you use online: enter results each period and it shows what is on track, what to watch and what is off track, with trends and a one-click PDF.
  • A ten-page guide, updated for the online tools, in five steps: map the change, frame the results, choose indicators, plan the monitoring, evaluate and learn.
  • One worked example, a youth digital skills programme, carried through every step.
  • Six editable worksheets: Theory of Change canvas, results framework, indicator reference sheet, monitoring plan, evaluation planner, and review and learning.
  • An Excel impact tracker for working offline. It follows the same rules as the dashboard.
