The TAMD framework uses theories of change to measure progress towards
achieving resilience. Theories of change help articulate assumptions behind smaller
steps that lead to a long-term goal and the connections between these activities,
outcomes and impact. They help present a visual representation on the contribution
of a project or combination of projects to an intended outcome.
In Isiolo an integrated ToC at the sub-national (county level) and five theories of
change at the community/ward levels was developed by both the county officials
and ward committees. Figure 15.2 shows the integrated ToC at county level whilst
Fig. 15.3 is an example of one ward ToC.
The indicators and assumptions for the integrated ToC are in shown in
Table 15.1.
