Theory of Change
Our Theory of Change outlines our approach and commitment to sustainable, people-centred development for societal good. Built over the last 35 years this Theory of Change is underpinned by an ethos where strengthening capacity flows beyond individuals to create a ripple effect of positive change in organizations, networks and broader social systems.
Our methodology is based on the principles of:
Inspiring, engaging & connecting people around the world
Igniting passions drives action
Shared purpose creates unity and bridges divisions
Interpersonal relationships that transcend boundaries facilitate rewarding cross-sector connections
Valuing people’s lived experiences
The right to be safe, healthy, educated and treated equally is paramount
Diverse perspectives and lived experiences enrich us and strengthen impact
Supportive environments where all voices are listened to contribute to stronger decisions
Building collaborative relationships of mutual respect & trust
Shared values lie at the heart of any successful collaboration
Partnerships and collaborations create bigger value when contribution is aligned with shared goals
Relationships must be open, honest and accountable
Strengthening capacity through sharing expertise & knowledge
Leveraging the sharing of skills, knowledge and experiences facilitates adaptive change
Building on existing strengths first, whether it be for an individual, organization, community or system, enhances growth and effectiveness
Reciprocal spirit flowing both ways fosters learning, unlearning and relearning
Experiential learning for the real world
Exposure to real-world leadership, beyond theoretical knowledge ensures practical application
Engaging directly with pressing social issues develops critical thinking, adaptability, and innovative problem-solving skills
Context matters
