Why choose this course?

This is an opportunity for you to engage in a multi-cultural learning environment that allows you to
collectively explore how to facilitate multi-stakeholders processes. You critically reflect on the latest
thinking around Theory of Change, and learn to use a Theory of Change approach to Strategic

prior knowledge in ToC is needed.
