Theory Of Change

About Us Images

Our theory of change proceeds from the interplay of actions between third sector institutions, governments, private sector, and citizens. We believe that the primary responsibility for providing good governance rests with the Government. A free and thriving civic space is central in supporting the government and holding it accountable to its obligations.
Consequently, IF we generate knowledge, improve skills, facilitate spaces for comparative learning for third sector institutions and enhance their collaboration with government and private sector, then the ecosystem’s effectiveness will be enhanced, and citizens’ quality of lives will be improved.
