THEORY OF CHANGE GUIDE

Whether you are developing a new health programme, preparing a funding proposal, or reviewing an existing intervention, a well-developed Theory of Change provides the foundation for effective programme design, implementation, and evaluation.


This practical guide distils the key principles and steps involved in developing a robust Theory of Change into a concise, easy-to-use reference. Designed for public health professionals, programme managers, consultants, and development partners, it complements my in-depth article on Theory of Change and can be used as a practical resource throughout the programme lifecycle.


In this guide, you will find:

  • A practical ten-step approach to developing a Theory of Change
  • Guidance on defining objectives, assumptions, risks, and indicators
  • Common pitfalls to avoid
  • A worked public health example
  • A practical template to help you draft your own Theory of Change

This guide is designed as a practical companion to my article:

How to Develop a Theory of Change for Public Health Programmes: A Practical Guide


The article explores the principles behind Theory of Change in greater depth and provides additional insights drawn from my experience supporting governments, international organisations, and development partners with programme design, health systems strengthening, and monitoring and evaluation.

Need support developing a Theory of Change?

Developing an effective Theory of Change is rarely just about completing a template. It requires understanding the programme context, engaging stakeholders, challenging assumptions, and building a realistic pathway from activities to impact. 


I work with governments, international organisations, and consulting firms to develop Theory of Change frameworks that support programme design, donor proposals, monitoring and evaluation, and health systems strengthening initiatives.
