FUTURES Project Theory of Change
Abstract: The FUTURES project, situated in the Yayu Biosphere Reserve of Southwest Ethiopia, aims to achieve sustainable forest biodiversity and improved reproductive health (RH) and livelihoods of women and young people in the region. The project is funded by the Packard Foundation and is implemented by CARE Ethiopia and its three local partners: Oromia Development Association (ODA), Environment and Coffee Forest Forum (ECFF), and Kulich Youth Reproductive Health and Development Organization (KYRDA). The Data for Impact (D4I) project, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), is collaborating with the FUTURES project to develop and implement a rigorous monitoring and evaluation system to generate evidence for integrated programming. As a first step in this work, the partners worked together to articulate and design a Theory of Change (TOC).

The TOC is a graphic representation of how the project will work to achieve its goal through gender transformative interventions across RH, livelihood, and ecological activities. The TOC depicts the context in which the project operates and illustrates pathways in which the project expects to accomplish its outcomes and goal. This brief shares more.
