After a consultation with Mobilization of LFCs Hub, members suggested nine factors that predict change in capacity in a community:
- Personal transformation of faith leaders
- Using scripture as unlocking and key
- Combo of technical and practical and scripture
- Champions/ facilitators – trained and supported
- Local participation in analysis and monitoring
- Linkage w advocacy
- Intertwined envisioning by LFCs and communities
- Building of momentum overtime – learning from others, showcasing, continual refreshment
- “Right” balance of local asset based work with external support – harnessing existing community resources
Working from the above factors, they created a Theory of Change to examine assumptions about what success looks like and how we contribute to change; and specifically analyzed the role of faith, drawing on any existing evidence base.
