GENERATIVE CHANGE COMMUNITY – GENERATIVE DIALOGUE

The present guide is part of the COLIN SIMBARASHE NYANGANI (INWAITING MP-SUNNINGDALE CONSTITUENCY) tool suite that helps Mbare and Sunningdale residents create a framework for developing strategies, building partnerships, planning interventions, gathering evidence of success or failure and, most importantly, analyzing and learning from this evidence through open dialogue among constituents and stakeholders who have a real interest in change.

The way we communicate with and respond to our constituents and other stakeholders greatly affect the quality of our relationships, the quality of our learning, and ultimately our effectiveness.

COLIN SIMBARASHE NYANGANI (INWAITING MP-SUNNINGDALE CONSTITUENCY) fosters the craft of dialogue among constituents – in clarifying their theory of change, in planning strategies and in learning – as a powerful way of generating confidence and trust, stimulating new and creative thinking, and promoting effective collaboration and partnerships as well as learning and improving.

Thinking about evidence in much of traditional monitoring and evaluation, the purpose of measurement is simply to prove that change has taken place.
