This Theory of Change visual was developed for the Latin America office of the Netherlands-based NGO HIVOS. It shows the change process set in motion by a platform comprising four elements: mentoring & development, grants, collaboration, and sharing & learning. The process depicted by the blue shape is one of prototyping and testing the platform first within HIVOS itself, then by HIVOS with partners and subsequently by the partners without the participation of HIVOS. After a phase of collaborative lobby and advocacy strategies and critical reflection HIVOS would go back to the drawing table, incorporate lessons and then upscale the platform to a wider circle of actors, which would lead to the changes described in the outer circle. While the written narrative alone did not fully convey the strategy to the donor, the visual made the approach more tangible and ultimately contributed to securing the funding needed to launch the initiative.
