Our Theory Of Change | A Pathway For Action, Sustainability, Results, Learning, And Adaptation
We welcome the opportunity to develop and refine our Theory of Change as part of organizational Performance Improvement within Youth Excel, a 5-year USAID global flagship youth development program centered on Implementation Research. Our intended outcome is to build a practical theory to underpin our ambitious youth-led community transformation efforts. This Theory of Change is based on organizational performance improvement as an approach to build the capacity of The Youth Café which focuses on achieving our strategies. We recognize that high performing youth-led and youth-serving organizations like we desire to be, need to be exceptional in four domains identified by our Performance Improvement framework: Efficiency, Effectiveness, Relevancy, and Journey to Self-Reliance (J2SR).
