Theory of Change

Although robust in its outlook, the ToC nevertheless relies on a number of assumptions about the underlying conditions and/or resources that need to exist in order for change to occur in the way that we hope for. It is essential that:

Communities

• Communities understand the program and are willing to participate
• Village government remains stable and supportive of the program
• No significant conflicts nor land disputes occur in the project area
• No disruption to the supply chain affects the livelihood program

Government

• Government at the regency, district, and village levels are fully willing to accommodate the program in their mid-term development plans (RPJMD)
• Changes to government personnel and/or government policies do not negatively affect the development process and the support provided to communities
• Government is willing to convene multi-stakeholder events
• Corruption does not undermine the program

Private Sector

• There is strong support and full commitment for the CSR program from the donor company (KSK) throughout the whole 13-year program period as planned
• Sufficient numbers of other companies support the program by participating in multi-stakeholder meetings and aligning their CSR programs
