We have a roadmap articulated in a Theory of Change (ToC) that takes into account the programme’s context, vision and goals, risks and underlying assumptions and that identifies the outputs or actions and processes that must be taken in order to achieve the programme goals. These broad outputs include:
 

• Funding CSOs to progress governance effectively

• Facilitating issues based projects informed by evidence

• Strengthening partners’ capacity

To be considere for funding all requests submitted to TRACE must have a clearly thought through theory of change (ToC) that nests within the TRACE ToC and that makes rational, politically-informed and evidence-based judgements of how change will be delivered. Grant partners must clearly define the major goals in their committed area of need and identify a clear path to achieving them.
