Theory of Change
2024 Roadmap
Looking back and
moving forward
Our Theory of Change articulates how the Our Place approach leads to long term change.
It provides us with a north star for the work we undertake with communities and partners, acting as a guiding frame for implementation and directly linking to the evaluation of intermediate indicators and outcomes. It outlines the steps involved and explains why each step is interrelated and important in achieving the goal of improving education outcomes for children.
