A theory of change is a method that explains how a given intervention, or set of interventions, are expected to lead to a specific development change, drawing on a causal analysis based on available evidence. In the UNDAF context, a thorough theory of change helps guide the development of sound and evidence-based programme strategies, with assumptions and risks clearly analysed and spelled out."

outh Africa and the African continent. Young people are trained as youth reporters to record the stories and experiences of their peers and communities. Then they create radio programmes and host public events so that we all can learn, connect and make better choices for ourselves. The youth reporters use a guide that helps them understand the topic, choose a focus, research and build a radio show and community outreach. The process has been working really well, so we wanted to share the tools with you all. Perhaps you are already a youth reporter at a local radio station, a high school student, a member of a community-based organisation, a teacher, a librarian or you belong to an non-governmental organisation (NGO) - someone who believes in their community and wants to make a change. Well, this guide on how to conduct community outreaches can take you to the next level." (General introduction to the manual, page 2)
