Results

"In terms of results concerning the work you did on the Theory of Change method:

  • International Media Support programme staff are beginning to feel more comfortable with results-based planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning following the introduction of the theory of change method.

  • IMS programmes has begun applying results-based planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning in a more systematic way.

  • IMS has developed its institutional theory of change, which will soon frame organisational-level planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning. And, in the programmes that have developed their ToCs, there is beginning to emerge a greater coherence between institutional strategic thinking and programme design."
