Towards a complexity-aware theory of change for participatory research programs working within agricultural innovation systems by Douthwaite, Boru, Hoffecker, Elizabeth A

“…Nevertheless, the logic models and theory of change (ToC) used by standard-setting international agricultural research agencies and donors assume that agricultural research will create impact through a predictable linear adoption pathway which largely ignores the complexity dynamics of AIS, and which misses important alternate pathways through which agricultural research can improve system performance and generate sustainable development impact. …”
