Case Study

The following case study was found on: https://artemis.im/theory-of-change-example-in-health/. The NGO used Theory of Change (ToC) to reach a basic level of fitness for the elderly in West Java. The website describes their process as follows.

‘An NGO based in West Java aims to launch a project to help the elderly adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle. The project will be carried out for 6 months involving regular counselling sessions and workshops. The NGO also plans to tie up with one of the premier healthcare centres in the region for assistance.’

‘Here, the long-term goal that will be achieved by the NGO is ‘helping elderly residents get more active. Once the goal is identified, the next step will be to list out the conditions required to reach this goal and begin the process of ‘backward mapping‘, identifying interventions and developing indicators.’

‘Remember, the NGO will need to identify the resources and inputs required for the project to achieve its desired goal and list out the preconditions needed. To ensure that its impact project achieves the goal of helping the elderly get more fit and active, the NGO arrived at a basic precondition.   Participants must already be engaged in light physical activities, such as brisk walking, yoga, et cetera. Inactive participants must obtain medical permission to engage in the programme .’

Please take a look at their interpretation of the ToC model shown below when you have finished the lesson about ToC.
