Visually map your entire intervention logic — from initial inputs and activities through outputs and outcomes to lasting, measurable impact. eSuivi's interactive ToC builder turns abstract programme theories into clear, shareable diagrams that keep every stakeholder aligned.
Get StartedTraditional Theory of Change documents live in static Word files that grow stale the moment they are saved. eSuivi replaces that workflow with a drag-and-drop visual canvas where you define each level of your results chain — inputs, activities, outputs, intermediate outcomes, and long-term impact — as distinct, connected nodes.
Draw causal links between nodes to articulate the "if-then" logic that underpins your programme. Each connection can carry a narrative explanation of the causal mechanism, making your ToC not just a picture but a living, documented theory that new team members and evaluators can understand at a glance.
Define every step from inputs to impact with clear if-then logic.
Place and rearrange nodes on a freeform canvas — no design skills required.
Articulate causal mechanisms with annotated connections between nodes.
A step-by-step flow helps teams build their first ToC in minutes.
Your Theory of Change is only as useful as the evidence behind it. eSuivi links indicators directly to ToC nodes and displays real-time performance badges — green, amber, or red — so programme managers can see at a glance which parts of the causal chain are on track and which need attention.
When field data flows in through KoboToolbox integration or manual entry, badge colours update automatically. Hover over any node to view a mini-dashboard with baseline values, current actuals, and target achievement percentages. This transforms your ToC from a planning artefact into a living monitoring tool that drives evidence-based decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
Most organisations create a Theory of Change during project design and never revisit it. With live performance data layered on top, eSuivi ensures your ToC stays relevant — surfacing bottlenecks early, informing adaptive management decisions, and giving donors confidence that the programme theory is being tested against real evidence.
Every causal link in a Theory of Change rests on assumptions — conditions that must hold true for the expected change to materialise. eSuivi lets you attach assumptions and risk statements to individual connections, creating a structured risk register that lives inside the diagram itself rather than in a separate spreadsheet.
Flag external factors, policy dependencies, and contextual conditions alongside each pathway. During quarterly reviews, revisit these assumptions to assess whether they still hold, marking them as validated, challenged, or invalidated. This practice strengthens adaptive management and provides evaluators with a transparent audit trail of programme thinking.
When it is time to present to donors, boards, or government counterparts, export your Theory of Change as a high-resolution PDF or a formatted Word document — complete with node descriptions, indicator summaries, and assumption annotations. The exported document is presentation-ready, with your organisation's branding and colour scheme applied automatically.
