Theory of Change
Theory of Change is a planning process
created specifically for community change
efforts.
Theory of Change is not a general theory of
how change happens; rather, the theory is
specific to your effort.
Theory of Change is useful for setting goals,
strategic planning, and program evaluation.

Understanding Conflict
• People everywhere experience
conflict on a daily basis in their

many causes or “roots.”
Exploring the multiple roots of
conflict is essential in an effort

done to prevent a violent or
