This Module
• Discusses that different people will have different assumptions about how change happens
• and its implication for your role in the CD process

Theories of Change • About How to arrive at Capacity Results?
– From the WHAT to the HOW….
– A strategy to get from where we are to where we want to be?
• Highlights our understanding of how change happens – what it will take to deliver results.
• Builds on insights from earlier diagnostic work and dialogue.
– Political economy, incentives and opportunities for change
– Change readiness, ownership and demand for support
– The nature of the capacity challenge; simple or transformational, supply side or demand side
– Single organisation or multiple entities and stakeholders
– What has worked before and possible role for external assistance

Some questions to ask
• How to engage: How directive, how facilitative?
• What opportunities for Quick Wins: versus longer processes?
• Where and with whom best to engage and what mix: selecting “action fields”?
• What inputs required: What combination is appropriate?
• Roles and responsibilities of Partners: Who does what?
• What kind of programme implementation arrangements: Leadership, oversight and accountability?

WhiteChange is autonomous
Outside influence no effect
![Page 10: Module 7 Understanding the change process Towards more effective Capacity Development.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55152f5b550346c77d8b57ff/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Main orientation
YellowBring key players together and come to a consensus of best feasible solution.
BlueAnalyse situation and rationally plan for the pre-determined result. Implement accordingly.
RedProvide incentives and motivate for a ‘best fit’ between people and organisation.
GreenCreate awareness and systematically develop joint learning opportunities. Coach for results.
WhiteCreate space for self-organised change. Remove blockages, promote energy.
![Page 11: Module 7 Understanding the change process Towards more effective Capacity Development.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55152f5b550346c77d8b57ff/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Criteria for effect/success
YellowMutual interests, consensus, a ‘good deal’, no (more) resistance.
BlueResults achieved, plan has been implemented, clear responsibilities.
RedPeople feel connected/at home/taken serious, good atmosphere and cooperation, proud.
GreenStaff experiment and ask for feedback, want to learn, good experiences are shared.
WhitePeople adapt to new situations, organise themselves outside formal structure, energy.

Ideals and pitfalls
YellowI = mutual interest is primary
P = no real action (only on paper)
BlueI = everything can be controlled and managed
P = relationships and emotions are neglected
RedI = the right man in the right place
P = resisting staff and powerful structures
GreenI = anything can be learned
P = rules and assignments also work
WhiteI = progress will emerge by itself
P = laissez-faire, chaos

Will not work when ...
YellowWeak leaders, too much dissent, no urgency or ambition
BlueVery dynamic environment, difficult to acquire expertise, unclear conditions and means
RedStaff do not wish to take responsibility, leaders cannot provide trust, little in common
GreenLittle understanding towards change, hidden conflicts, no safety, leaders not accepted
WhiteLittle dynamism and confrontation, no confidence/guts, too dependent

Color of change, debriefing exercice
What are the implications of the change preference for design (theory of change) and change management behaviour?.

Conclusions for working on your change plan
![Page 16: Module 7 Understanding the change process Towards more effective Capacity Development.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55152f5b550346c77d8b57ff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Consider at the start:
• How to support internal drivers of change • How to link with, relate to and build on previous or
existing initiatives • What is happening in other parts of the system and
how these interventions might interact with them• How interventions can be followed up for
sustainability• What to do first – sequencing
In all this: work with individuals and their relations, after that the systems behind them
![Page 17: Module 7 Understanding the change process Towards more effective Capacity Development.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55152f5b550346c77d8b57ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Who Does What – the country partner?
• Focus first on what the country partner will bring to the process.
– the change management responsibility; leadership– the practical actions the partner will do (time, money,
logistics, staff, activities)
• • Only then consider need for external support
including that of the Commission
![Page 18: Module 7 Understanding the change process Towards more effective Capacity Development.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051819/55152f5b550346c77d8b57ff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What External Partners can bring
• Many possibilities: advice, knowledge-ideas, funding, hands on deck, linkages, mentorship, sounding board?
• Think beyond TC: consider if other instruments (eg NGO support, Budget support, dialogue) can help
• Think beyond TA – twinning, knowledge exchange, peer support, funding, pilots-experimentation
• Inputs without an influencing or engagement strategy is likely to be ineffective
